Belgium's Gaming Commission has suspended license payment requests pending publication of the 2026 contribution decree approved by the Council of Ministers.
Belgium's Gaming Commission has suspended all license payment requests following governmental delays in finalizing 2026 contribution rates.
The Council of Ministers approved the draft royal decree on December 12, 2025, establishing Gaming Commission operating costs and licensing contributions for 2026. However, the decree remains unpublished, preventing the regulator's secretariat from issuing payment demands for license applications and renewals.
The Gaming Commission confirmed it cannot process any payment requests until the royal decree receives official publication. This administrative pause affects both new license applications and existing license renewals scheduled for 2026.
The regulator has committed to issuing updated communications immediately following the decree's publication, allowing normal licensing operations to resume.
This delay highlights the interconnected nature of Belgian gaming regulation, where ministerial approval processes directly affect day-to-day licensing operations and operator compliance schedules.
According to Belgian Gaming Commission.
