Belgium License was Granted to Pokerstars while some are Blacklisted

Posted February 24, 2026 by TitanPokerBonusCode in News.

The first official poker online operator blacklist was issued yesterday by the Belgium Gaming Commission. Those that are blacklisted include the everestpoker, titanpoker, 888, and chilipoker. These online poker sites will be excluded to operate in the country. In fact, the government is expecting to block the access of the people to their URL as they will now ask it from the ISP. It was stated by the Poker Fuse that the Chilipoker has been added erroneously to the blacklist since they do not even operate in Belguim as a matter of fact. This is why their CEO communicated to the pokerfuse.

On the other site, the pokerstars was announced as the first website to be granted with Casino de Namur A+ license in the European country to be more particular. The Belgian Gaming Commission chairman believed that this is one way to regulate the online gambling. For example, it offers legal operation towards their gaming and it also affects the economical point of view of the gambling operators.

It was indicated that this license is a way to protect the players against illegal websites operating online poker games. As such, the Pokerstars is proud that they are included as the first fully licensed operators in the Belguim area. This statement has been claimed by the Head of Business Development. Now, they are in partnership with the Circus Group offering locally licensed product to the Belgian poker players in particular. This is their way to welcome the newly regulated markets.
