What Golden Cherry offers
Golden Cherry is not bound by the Belgian restrictions and therefore shows more: thousands of slots, live dealers and newer formats. The flip side sits further down: no oversight, no EPIS and no statutory weekly limit.
Dice games replace the classic slot here: gold Spinner, Mega Spinner, Tales of Sand, that makes the catalogue hard to compare with a foreign site.
Is this legal in Belgium?
Golden Cherry operates without a Belgian licence. The regulator blocked goldencherry; the list now counts 900+ domains.
Neither EPIS nor the statutory weekly limit applies here. In a disagreement the Belgian regulator sits outside the loop.

The dice games are simply more fun than the standard slots.
Limits, age and EPIS
Belgium regulates player protection more strictly than most of its neighbours and you feel it on the first deposit. On any licensed site the weekly limit defaults to €200. Reducing it needs no waiting time, raising it needs a check and a waiting period.
Through EPIS the Gaming Commission runs centralised exclusion: after registration no licensed operator grants you access. The request goes through the regulator itself. The bar has stood at 21 since 1 September 2024, lottery aside; 18 still applies at the National Lottery alone. Without valid ID you do not get through.
Player questions
- Can I play from 18?
From 21. The bar rose in September 2024, only the lottery stayed at 18. A falsified age costs you the whole balance at payout. This is verified at registration.
- How do I self-exclude?
By filing an EPIS request with the regulator; it applies at once across the licensed landscape. It is the strongest brake Belgium offers. The register is not publicly searchable.
- May Golden Cherry operate in Belgium?
Not legal in the Belgian sense: Golden Cherry operates without a Gaming Commission licence. The regulator keeps both lists current. It takes two clicks to verify.
- Can I deposit with Bancontact at Golden Cherry?
Yes. Bancontact and Bancontact Pay are the standard deposit methods; withdrawals go by bank transfer. Keep the confirmation e-mail of every deposit. A different name on the account blocks the payout.
- Can I change my limit?
Yes, €200 per week per site — unless you set a lower cap yourself. Raising it always takes time, even when the request goes through. At unlicensed sites that protection does not exist.
