Gambling help in Belgium
Belgium's support services are organised by language community. In Flanders, Gokhulp offers online information, anonymous chat and self-tests, while the Druglijn handles questions on all addictions. In Wallonia and Brussels, the SOS Jeu service, linked to a specialist clinic for problem gambling, runs a free phone line. Mental-health and addiction centres in all regions treat gambling disorder, often free or at low cost under health insurance. Gamblers Anonymous groups meet in Dutch and French. The Gaming Commission runs the national EPIS exclusion register and lets families request a ban in serious cases. Screening tools on these sites help you reflect, but they are not diagnoses; a professional can assess your situation properly.
SOS Jeu 0800 35 777 If you or someone else is in immediate danger or thinking about suicide, call your local emergency number now. Helplines below are for gambling-related support and are generally free and confidential.
