Belgium raises legal gambling age to 21, initiating debate on age limits for high-risk activities.
Belgium raised its legal gambling age from 18 to 21, sparking a global debate on age limits for high-risk activities. This move contrasts with other EU countries, where the legal gambling age remains 18. Miranda Raaff, Head of iGaming Information at Minimum Deposit Casinos (MDC), suggests that if lawmakers believe 21 is the appropriate age for gambling, these restrictions should be applied to other high-risk activities. MDC is an iGaming resource portal that reviews and recommends trusted online casinos, focusing on safety, security, gaming licenses, responsible gambling tools, and fair gaming practices.
