The game catalogue
Koko runs without a Belgian licence and so faces no statutory limit on the game offering: from classic slots to live game shows and crash. The price is losing EPIS, oversight and the weekly limit.
What sets a Belgian hall apart are the dice games: Dice Attraction, Mega Spinner, Tales of Sand, outside the Belgian market you rarely run into them.
Licence status
Koko does not appear in the Belgian licence register. The regulator blocked koko; the list now counts 900+ domains.
What is missing: the EPIS connection and the €200-per-week limit. In a disagreement the Belgian regulator sits outside the loop.
What is asked at registration
Opening an account varies little: real name, date of birth and an identity check before the first withdrawal. An ID and something that evidences your address usually suffice. If the name on your bank account differs, things stall.
Language cover is a lottery, and the regulator has no say in the outcome. Archive what you receive about deposits and withdrawals; in a disagreement it comes down exclusively to those.

What the law imposes
Player protection in Belgium is arranged notably strictly by European standards and you notice it at signup. Every licence holder opens your account at €200 per week.
The EPIS system is the regulator's central exclusion list: the block covers every licence holder in the country. The request goes through the regulator itself. The age bar moved on 1 September 2024 from 18 to 21 for casino, hall and betting; for the National Lottery 18 remained the rule. Age is verified at registration.
Frequently asked questions
How much may I deposit per week?
Yes, €200 per week per site — unless you set a lower cap yourself. The limit applies per site, not across all sites. It is on by default; you need do nothing.
Are winnings taxed?
Not for the player. Belgium taxes the operator, not the winner. Nothing about that rule changes in 2026. At a foreign operator your tax position may differ.
May Koko operate in Belgium?
No, Koko does not appear in the Belgian licence register. Status can change; re-check the list if in doubt. Anyone wanting certainty looks the name up at the Gaming Commission.
What is EPIS?
Through the Gaming Commission's EPIS system. One registration excludes you from every licensed operator, online and on-site. The request is free of charge. Relatives can, in certain cases, file a request.
Can I deposit with Bancontact at Koko?
Yes, by card or app. The payout then runs by bank transfer. The deposit shows on your account immediately. Keep the confirmation e-mail of every deposit.
