Local media reports that Finance Minister <strong>Vincent van Peteghem<\/strong> is tightening his approach to betting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Minister explained: \u00abThe National Lottery is taking a leading role in protecting players and fighting gambling addiction. At a World Cup, the sport and supporter experience should be central.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00abAdvertising for sports betting should have no place in broadcasts or reports via television, radio and written press. The National Lottery is already setting a good example by not advertising its sports betting on these channels\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This announcement is the latest in a series of political bans on betting and gambling in Belgium that include a number of new advertising restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In particular, Justice Minister <strong>Van Quickenborne <\/strong>proposed a royal decree in May that would ban most forms of betting advertising by the end of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ban plan will continue into the new year. All forms of sports betting marketing will be banned by 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00abBelgium is following the international trend. Italy and Spain have implemented a complete advertising ban and the Netherlands and the UK are working on similar rules\u00bb he said at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, Belgium&#8217;s position on gambling advertising has become clearer: in June, the National Council supported the decision of the <strong>Belgian Gambling Commission<\/strong> (BGC) on this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Belgium, sponsorship is considered a form of advertising, and the ban on betting advertising during sports tournaments extends beyond television and radio to minimum age requirements and safe play!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two months later, a draft Royal Decree was submitted to the European Commission (EC) aimed at limiting the forms of advertising available to operators.Don&#8217;t forget to subscribe to our <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3BHW1zr\">Telegram channel<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the 2022 FIFA World Cup, the Belgian National Lottery will not advertise sports betting products.
