An overview of EPIS, exclusion, player protection, and support resources for Belgian players.
# EPIS Belgium 2026 – Exclusion and Player Protection
EPIS stands for Excluded Persons Information System — Belgium's self-exclusion register for problem gamblers. All Belgian-licensed casinos must verify players against EPIS before allowing them to play.
However, casinos operating under an international licence are not legally required to check EPIS. They fall under foreign jurisdiction, not Belgian law.

## What is EPIS?
EPIS is a database maintained by the Belgian gambling authority. Players can voluntarily register to exclude themselves from Belgian-licensed gambling venues and sites. The minimum exclusion period is 3 years.
**Who is in EPIS?**
- Self-excluded players
- Players excluded by a casino or physical gaming venue
- Court-mandated exclusions
---
## How Long Does an EPIS Exclusion Last?
- Minimum: 3 years
- Maximum: Indefinite (until the player requests removal after the minimum period)
---
## International Casinos and EPIS
International casinos are **not obligated to check EPIS**. All casinos recommended by CasinoWeKnow operate internationally and are therefore outside the EPIS system.
