The Belgian Gaming Commission (BGC) has fined 79 players who gambled on Betclic Everest’s site, which does not hold a license in the country.
Players will face fines of €200 ($223) for placing the unauthorized bets and balances from their Betclic account will be seized.
The BGC will have bigger plans for major bettors who wagered thousands of Euros on BetClic, with fines of up to €16,000 ($17,850), which are expected to be executed next month.
Director of BGC Peter Naessens said that it’s customary for his commission to target the illegal operators before players, but in this instance, an exception was made.
Belgium is continuously blacklisting unauthorized websites, with the list of rogues containing nearly 100 real money gambling companies, including major players like Betfair and William Hill.
Many of the leading poker networks were blacklisted (click here for the complete list), with only PokerStars.be, Partouche.be, Poker770.be, and GoldenPalace.be holding official licenses.
Betclic, a French online gaming operator, was among the first operators to be placed on the BGC’s blacklist of unauthorized operators back in May 2012.
