Betclic returns to Belgium gambling market via B+ license

French gambling operator Betclic Everest Group has re-entered Belgium’s online gambling market after spending several years in the country’s blacklist.

SBC News reported last week that Belgium’s Gambling Commission (BGC) finally gave Betclic Everest the approval to offer licensed online sports betting and slot services under its betclic.be domain.

Betclic, via its joint venture with Belgian land-based arcade operator Pres Carats Sports SA, received a B+ license, which according to the BGC website, is a supplementary license that operators need “to offer games of chance online.”

Current online betting laws require digital companies operating in Belgium to partner with a domestic brick-and-mortar business.
