Playing in the casino: 21 years old
Just playing poker in some legal private club, which usually has a limited amount of tournaments, like 1 every week or 2 weeks: 18 years old
But I think some clubs might put the limit higher and choose 21 as well, but they will let you know for sure.

I guess the usual age for those who wants to enter a casino is 21 years old, I just don't know on online.

Sites have to have a permit.
Most have a B+ permit (B+ vergunning van de Belgische Kansspelcommissie), which means you have to be at least 21 years old to gamble online (poker is seen as gambling) and 18 years old for sports betting.

You have to be 21.

For online poker too, when you use your ID when you're 20 years old, it won't work.

So poker is gambling, but sports betting isn't?

Riiiiiight.

Yeah, you have to be 21 to play poker, only 18 (16?!) to bet on sports.
I think I remember hearing something in the news about the (too) low age of sportsetting a while ago. Anyway, sportsetting is far more popular in Belgium than Poker. The amount of sportsetting cafe's in Ghent is ridiculous.

Make that four (even though I live quite far now (Limburg), I lived there 18 years).
We should go together to one of the casino's at the coast one day :)
