Exploring Casino Licenses in Belgium: What Dice Games Players Need to Know

The Belgian Gambling Commission's Role

 The Belgian Gambling Commission (BGC) is the supervisory authority in Belgium responsible for the proper functioning of gambling (legality, reliability, security…) by awarding and regulating various licences. It is important to know what kinds of licences exist and what they mean for dice game players.

A+ License: Traditional Casinos

 Casinos that operate under the licence A+ are authorised to operate all kinds of gambling – including, of course, dice games. They are held to generally high standards of regulation and player protection.

B+ License: Gaming Halls

 A B+ licence allows you to have a more relaxed gaming atmosphere- including popular dice games – and is strictly regulated by the BGC.

F1 License: Betting Shops

 Betting shops authorised under an F1 licence are allowed to offer sports betting to customers, although they are also allowed to offer dice games as well. The advantage of the F1 licence is that betting shops are subject to the right rules and regulations to ensure that the games they are running are regulated to make sure that the house doesn't cheat.

E License: Online Gambling Platforms

 If a players wish to play any of the games such as dice games online, they must ensure that the casino is licensed for this type of activity. An E licence is special licence that operators of online gambling must have in order to offer different types of games over the internet. Players must seek for E-licensed sites to guarantee the safeness of their online gaming.

U License: Suppliers of Gaming Machines

 Those supplying gaming machines – for instance, for usage in a dice game – require a U licence that ensures all the gaming machines are fit for purpose and safe, prior to their installation in a casino or gaming hall.

Promoting Fair Play in Dice Games

 BGC’s regulations ensure the fair treatment of players and the security of the dice game in itself. Regular audits and inspections are currently being conducted to uphold the standards of the games. Enforcing these standards safeguards players and, simultaneously, improves the reputation of licensed operators, which will ensure players return to the same table in the future.

Choosing a Licensed Venue

 When choosing a venue for dice game, it would be better if you choose a casino, a gaming hall or an online place with licence for dice game.You must know if the venue with where you play dice games is licenced by BGC. This will make sure if the venue is a good place for you to play this game with fairness and pleasure.Also, players should choose a venue which encourage responsible gambling through gambling awareness and offer support for those with gambling problems.

Conclusion

 The Belgian gambling scene is one that is well regulated. As a player, you, no doubt, heave a sigh of relief when you enter a dice game with assurances that: one, the gaming environment is safe because the rules governing gaming are strictly followed to the latter; two, the gaming environment is exhilarating because the licensed, regulated and safe casino is seriously engaging. Here, we will explore the available casino licences and identify a licensed venue as the place to have fun playing dice games. There are two casino licences in Belgium: ‘the ordinary casino licence’ and ‘the professional casino licence’. The ordinary licence is issued to casinos that offer gaming machines, slot machines, and electronic slot centres. The professional licence is issued to casinos that run sports betting and offer table games, dice games, and electronic table centres. Think of it in this way: professional casinos offer exotic games and they are the ones you visit for a memorable time. Ordinary casinos offer basic casino games, which are just as exciting as the exotic versions. Ordinary casinos are located in most big cities, while professional casinos can be found in major cities such as Brussels, Antwerp, Ostend, Knokke, and Spa. Every player, whether a first-timer or a seasoned gamer, must remember that the croupier is involved in playing dice games primarily to prevent cheating.
