What Uptownaces offers
Uptownaces runs without a Belgian licence and so faces no statutory limit on the game offering: thousands of slots, live dealers and newer formats. The flip side sits further down: no oversight, no EPIS and no statutory weekly limit.
In the B+ halls dice games are the norm: tales of Sand, Open The Safe, Coco Craze Dice, no other country knows this category in this shape.
From signup to first payout
Opening an account varies little: name, date of birth and documents, before anything is paid out. An ID and something that evidences your address usually suffice.
Customer service rarely speaks Dutch here, and the regulator sits outside the loop. Keep the confirmation e-mails of your deposits; without those documents a complaint leaves you empty-handed.

Lowering the weekly limit worked right away, which I appreciated.
Limits, age and EPIS
The Belgian legislator approaches player protection notably strictly by European standards with effects you cannot route around. By default €200 per week per site may go in.
EPIS is the Gaming Commission's central exclusion system: the block covers every licence holder in the country. The entry point is the Gaming Commission. Casino, gaming hall and sports betting are 21-and-over since 1 September 2024; for the National Lottery 18 remained the rule. Without valid ID you do not get through.
What players ask us
- Is the bonus worth it?
Check which games count: slots often 100%, table games sometimes 10% or nothing at all. Check whether your game counts before you start. The validity window is often shorter than you expect.
- Is Uptownaces legal in Belgium?
No. Uptownaces holds no Belgian licence and appears on the Gaming Commission's black list. Always verify it yourself before depositing. The list is public on gamingcommission.be.
- Which payment method is best?
Depositing with Bancontact works; the money comes back through your bank account. Mind the app's daily ceilings. There is no route back to Bancontact — that goes via the bank.
- How do I self-exclude?
You register with EPIS. It works nationally and immediately. The request is free of charge. Registration runs through the Gaming Commission.
- Can I change my limit?
€200 per week per site applies automatically; you need not request it. You set it in your account settings. It is on by default; you need do nothing.
