LIÈGE - FINANCE

Mission and vision

With over 1,200 employees, 330 of whom are based at the head office in Liège, and a revenue of approximately 250 million euros in 2019, the Gaming1 Group is leader on the Belgian gaming market (casinos, sports betting and poker) – both land-based and online. We aim to become a global reference in the regulated online gaming market by doubling our activity every five years.

We want to offer our customers and employees a smooth, fun and innovative multichannel experience. Our mission is therefore to offer the best responsible gaming experience, geared to regulated online markets, while leveraging our technology and a local land-based or affiliate network.

Gaming1 is also striving to develop a responsible and ethical gaming image. This is something that the group is already working on as a member of the Belgian Association of Gaming Operators (BAGO), which groups the 5 biggest gaming operators in Belgium. In parallel, each partner – Belgian or international – establishes their own responsible gaming policy and tools.
