Belgium, counted
Sixteen documents name Belgium, one of them a schedule of two
Sixteen of the 38 restricted-territory schedules opened for this index print Belgium. One of the sixteen runs to 2 entries in total, and Belgium is one of the two.
Sixteen names, and the shape underneath them
Belgium is printed inside sixteen of the 38 restricted-territory schedules this reading could open, every one of them read on 26 August 2026. Twenty-two further schedules were opened with the Belgian entry missing from the text. Sixty-two operators in the library of a hundred keep a document that stayed shut through the pass, and their cells are blank for that reason alone.
Three of the sixteen answered from the operator’s own live page on the day of reading. The remaining thirteen came through archived captures of the addresses set out below. What makes sixteen worth a second look is its composition: the number arrives from three very different kinds of document rather than from one.

A clause with two entries, and Belgium is one
Cloudbet publishes its restricted clause inside a help page at www.cloudbet.com/beta/en/help/terms, read here from an archived capture. Across the 122 markets this index covers, that clause reaches two of them. Belgium is the first. Australia is the second.
Two is the smallest multi-country figure anywhere in this reading, and a figure that small has been arrived at deliberately. A schedule of a hundred entries describes how a business runs: broad licence conditions, a thin compliance function, a payment stack that prefers a short roll of accepted territories. A schedule of two describes an opinion about two places. The document gives no reasoning for either entry, and supplying one on its behalf would be worse than leaving the gap where a reader can see it. Australia carries the same clause and reaches thirteen in total, which the Australian page sets out row by row.
Seven long schedules, seven short ones, two between
Belgium’s sixteen divides almost evenly by document length. Seven of the sixteen come from schedules reaching 95 or more of the 122 markets here, headed by Oshi Casino at 105 entries. Another seven come from schedules of 25 entries or fewer, running from Cloudbet at two up to Wild.io and Wild Fortune at twenty-five each. Two sit between: BitStarz at 37 and Winz.io at 40.
That split is what a large western European market tends to produce, and it separates Belgium from most of this wave. Countries reached only by the long schedules are being swept up in a general policy. Countries reached by seven short ones have been written in seven times by somebody choosing where to stop, and the total is the sum of both habits. Portugal produces a milder version of the same shape at fourteen, examined on the Portuguese page.
Twenty-two schedules where the Belgian entry is missing
Twenty-two published schedules were opened for this index and read through, with no Belgian entry inside them. That statement is finished as written, and each way of stretching it borrows something the document declined to give.
A published schedule can trail the practice it describes by months. Regional editions of one agreement diverge, which is visible in the addresses above: two of the sixteen sit in Australian editions of the terms and two in Canadian ones. Payments run through a provider with territory rules it publishes nowhere. Verification arrives at the first withdrawal rather than at signup. Absence from a document on 26 August 2026 describes that document on that date, which is a smaller finding than most readers want and a firmer one than most sites offer.
What each operator publishes about itself: the company named on the licence, the permit number and where it was read, how many countries the operator excludes in its own terms, and when identity documents are demanded. The country count is the length of a list the operator published, not our estimate of where it will accept you. An empty cell means the document was not read — it is not a zero, and it is not a permission.

Sixty-two clauses that stayed shut
Sixty-two brands in the library have a restricted clause that this reading never retrieved: the page moved, the terms sat behind a sign-in, or the archive returned nothing usable.
Those cells stay blank on purpose. A blank records where the work stopped, enters no total, and lifts nobody up the ranking. Read as permission, it would dress unfinished reading as advice, which is the exact failure this index exists to avoid. How we read keeps the standard for filling a cell in one place.
A commercial schedule, and Belgian statute
Everything counted above is contract language. An operator maintains a restricted-territory schedule in line with its licensing and its payment arrangements, edits it when either moves, and owes a reader no warning of the edit.
What Belgian law permits has its own authors, and this page leaves the question with them entirely. The two blur together because both arrive as printed rules on a screen, and only one of them was passed by anybody. The country index holds the same reading market by market, and Sweden shows how far the totals fall once the short documents lose interest.
