Online gambling


When alone facing the screen of your computer, you may apply a few principles to help you consider gambling as a pleasure, by acting responsibly :

  • Set a maximum loss limit, for a specific time, and force yourself to stick to it ;
  • Never play to win at all costs, but consider gambling as a pleasure, the pleasure of trying ;
  • Never borrow money from your family or financial institutions to gamble ;
  • Take regular breaks ;
  • Alternate gambling with other activities ;
  • Never play during periods of trouble, stress, depression or confusion ;
  • Play only with money available for pleasure. Never play with money intended for important expenses (food, rent, electricity, heating, etc.) ;
  • Never consider gambling as an escape from your everyday problems.

Online gambling is entertainment that sometimes leads to financial reward. It is in no event a source of income to provide for the player's everyday needs or that of his family or a means of paying one's debts.
Therefore it is the player's responsibility to play with moderation, to be aware of his needs and to know when to stop, whether losing or winning.

Child protection.


Belgian law prohibits anyone under 18 to bet online and anyone under the age of 21 to take part in virtual betting. Ladbrokes.be strictly complies with that requirement aimed at protecting children and adolescents. Ladbrokes.be goes beyond that duty by taking a formal undertaking never to target youngsters in its advertising campaigns.

Ladbrokes.be only accepts clients over 18 for sports betting and over 21 for virtual betting.

In order to reduce the risk of minor clients, Ladbrokes.be checks the identity of its clients when child activity is suspected. Although we dedicate a lot of time and effort to prevent children from gambling on our site, we draw the parents/guardians' attention to becoming aware that a child, even with their consent, is not allowed to gamble on our Ladbrokes.be site.
We therefore recommend that parents :

  • Set up access blocking filters for on line gambling sites ;
  • Not leave the gambling page open if they leave the computer ;
  • Keep their passwords and user names secret ;
  • Explain the law regarding gambling and the dangers caused by gambling additions ;
  • Keep their credit cards and other electronic payment means out of reach of their children.

When in doubt on the age of a player, Ladbrokes.be reserves the right to ask you to prove you age at any time and to suspend the activity of your account until the situation is clarified.

 

Under Belgian law, Ladbrokes can only allow the player to increase his weekly limit to an amount higher than 500€ when the player is not in default (1). The player who wants to increase his limit will have to send a declaration, on his honour, that he is not in default of payment of a credit (after, if applicable, having carried out the necessary checks on the website of the National Bank of Belgium (https://aci.nbb.be/my.policy)). The declaration or certificate must be sent to the following e-mail address: documents@ladbrokes.be. After verification and approval, your limit will be increased after 72 hours.

 

If the player makes use of the option to increase his limit, the player expressly releases Ladbrokes from any liability. Ladbrokes cannot be held liable for any losses incurred. Play responsibly and within your means!
