Kansspelcommissie blacklist: 31 domains added on 28 September 2026
The Belgian gambling regulator, the Kansspelcommissie, issued a decision on 28 September 2026 that placed 31 additional domain names on its blacklist of websites that offer games of chance without complying with Belgian law. The new entries increase the total number of listings on the regulator's public list to 1,016.

Several names appear in multiple variants, illustrating the regulator's practice of targeting both brand-style names and the different domain addresses that operators deploy.
PepperMill Casino variants and Gambling Club reporting
Gambling Club, the media outlet that monitored the market, identified more than 20 domains using the PepperMill Casino name without authorisation and notified the Kansspelcommissie. The outlet reports that some of those URLs are now blocked following the regulator's action. The 28 September decision explicitly lists multiple PepperMill-related domains among the 31 newly blacklisted addresses.
How the Kansspelcommissie updates the blacklist and recent cadence
The regulator updates its list of illegal gambling sites on a rolling basis. The 28 September 2026 decision follows an earlier set of entries published on 17 September 2026, indicating active and frequent monitoring of the market. The Kansspelcommissie regards the blacklist as a tool to support blocking and other enforcement measures against operators that offer games to Belgian players outside the country's legal framework.
Operators and payment processors are expected to consult the list when assessing whether a domain is licensed in Belgium. Players who wish to verify licensed operators can consult publicly available registries and lists of authorised operators; Gambling Club additionally maintains a list of legal casinos in Belgium for consumer reference. For operators and vendors working on compliance, review of the blacklist is a routine part of mitigation and fraud-detection procedures. The regulator's decisions name domains rather than parent companies in many cases, so matching domain variants to operator structures remains a practical challenge.
Enforcement context and next steps for stakeholders
The blacklist functions as one element of Belgium's enforcement framework. Internet service providers, payment services and access-control mechanisms use the list to implement blocking orders or restrictions. Companies that detect listed domains in their networks or payment flows are expected to take steps consistent with applicable Belgian law.
For compliance teams, the immediate obligations are straightforward: monitor the Kansspelcommissie list, implement blocking or transaction-denial rules for newly listed domains, and update risk controls to capture domain variants. For platform providers and affiliates, identifying clusters of related domains — the pattern visible in the PepperMill and hadesbet entries, for example — is a priority for both prevention and remediation.
What this means for players and the market
Blacklisting is intended to reduce consumer exposure to operators that do not comply with Belgium's licensing requirements. The regulator does not publish ownership details in every decision, so consumers and industry participants must rely on the combined work of the Kansspelcommissie and monitoring outlets such as Gambling Club to map suspicious domains to underlying operators.
Where players seek to confirm an operator's licenced status, consult the Kansspelcommission's public registers and recognised listings of authorised services. Gambling Club's list of legal casinos in Belgium remains a parallel resource for consumers seeking compliant options.
