Belgium Limits Online Poker Deposits to 200€ Per Week Per Site

Belgium's government has approved a bill to limit weekly deposits to 200€ per site for online gambling. This new regulation is part of a broader effort to address the increased interest in online gambling during the pandemic.

Previously, Belgium had a weekly deposit limit of 500€ across all sites. The new limit is aimed at reducing the risk of gambling addiction during the pandemic. Players can now deposit up to 200€ per week on each site, meaning a player using three different poker sites could deposit a total of 600€ per week.

This change comes as part of a broader effort by Belgian authorities to regulate the online gambling industry more strictly. The new limits are seen as a positive step by many, as they provide more flexibility while still encouraging responsible gambling.
