Important update on sports betting from May 1, 2025

14 April 2025


Starting May 1, 2025, a new requirement in the Belgian Gambling Act mandates that your identity must be verified before you can bet on sports.

 

What’s changing exactly?

Until April 30, 2025: You can register, deposit, and bet without your identity being verified. Verification will only be required when withdrawing funds.
Starting May 1, 2025: Your identity must be verified before you can place bets — even before making a deposit.

Why the change?

This is part of new Belgian legislation designed to enhance player protection and promote responsible betting. As a licensed operator, we are committed to ensuring your safety and compliance.

What happens if you don’t verify your identity?

You won’t be able to deposit, place bets, or withdraw funds from your account.

How to verify your identity

You can verify your identity in two easy ways:
 

1
Use itsme logo – our recommended method

Why itsme®? It’s the most convenient and 100% secure option. Verification is instant and seamless.

2
Upload a valid identity document:

ID card

Passport

Driver's licence

➜ Ensure the document is clear, valid (not expired), and belongs to you.

 


🕒 Don’t wait – verify your identity now to continue placing bets! It only takes a minute, ensuring uninterrupted access to Golden Palace Sports.
