This brought it near pre-pandemic figures, although betting establishments and newsstands, while witnessing heightened activity, haven&#8217;t entirely recuperated. Casinos, gaming venues, and cafes persist as the top earners in this domain, with low-stakes amusements, notably bingo terminals in cafes, proving exceptionally favored.<\/p>\n<p>Concurrently, online gambling maintained its upward trajectory with a 2.6% increment.  Similar to preceding years, internet casino diversions spearheaded the growth, trailed by automated gaming platforms and subsequently sports wagering.<\/p>\n<p>During the year 2022, physical casinos experienced a powerful resurgence!  They witnessed a massive influx of patrons, and their overall gaming income (referring to actual earnings, not merely wagers made) increased twofold in comparison to the preceding year.  We&#8217;re discussing unprecedented figures here \u2013 nine gambling establishments collectively amassed over half a billion euros!  That signifies a substantial amount of activity at the gaming tables. <\/p>\n<p>Each of these land-based casinos observed their earnings ascend beyond even pre-pandemic levels of 2019. The gambling venue in Brussels undoubtedly emerged as the frontrunner, attracting a remarkable 40% of the total revenue. <\/p>\n<p>Shifting our focus to internet gambling, the nine authorized online casinos operating in Belgium recorded a respectable 16% rise in their earnings, with the Spa casino&#8217;s digital platform leading the way.  Conversely, the Middelkerke casino&#8217;s online venture suffered a setback due to the loss of certain licenses. Notably, a study conducted by the Belgian Gaming Commission in September 2023 indicated that while 13% of respondents engaged in gambling on a daily basis, a surprisingly meager 36% possessed the ability to differentiate between a legitimate and an illegitimate gambling website \u2013 a point worth pondering! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Belgian Gaming Commission has issued its findings on the nation&#8217;s gambling landscape in 2022, revealing a robust comeback for brick-and-mortar gambling and sustained expansion in the digital realm.
