Especially the online providers are developing strongly according to the Belgian Gaming Commission. Casinos have more than doubled their Internet revenues, which already puts them at 40% of the total.
The Belgian online and offline betting offices recorded a fifth more profit!
According to Etienne Morique, chairman of the Belgian Gaming Commission, Internet reduces the threshold and especially young players, because they are more familiar with a laptop or smartphone. They play more and the advertising is also specifically for young people. The gok sector is therefore focusing more and more on the internet.
The number of excluded players also increases according to statistics.
• 2014: 309 055 Belgians are no longer allowed to play.
• 2015: 328,882 Belgians are no longer allowed to play.
