About Us
Independent. Honest. Written for players, by players.
Who We Are
Liondeposits.com is an independent, Belgium-based online casino review platform built around one simple principle: players deserve honest, transparent, and genuinely helpful information. We are a small but dedicated team of journalists and content writers who share a passion for fair play, clear communication, and rigorous research. We believe that the online casino industry is too often cluttered with misleading information, exaggerated claims, and content that prioritises marketing over substance. Liondeposits.com was created to be the antidote to that — a place where Belgian players can find reliable, well-researched content they can actually trust.
We are not a casino operator. We do not accept bets, process payments, or manage player accounts. Our sole purpose is to provide educational and informational content that empowers players to make better decisions. Whether you are looking for detailed payment method guides, minimum deposit comparisons, no-deposit bonus breakdowns, or in-depth casino reviews, our goal is always the same: to give you the most accurate, up-to-date, and genuinely useful information available.
Every piece of content published on Liondeposits.com is the result of careful research, real-world testing, and honest editorial judgment. We test casinos with our own money, document every step of the deposit and withdrawal process, and report our findings exactly as they are — no sugar-coating, no spin, and no shortcuts. If a casino has slow withdrawals, hidden fees, or poor customer support, we say so plainly. If a casino excels in a particular area, we give credit where it is due.
Our Mission
Our mission is straightforward: to be the most trusted and helpful casino review resource for Belgian players. We recognised early on that most review sites in this space fail to address the specific needs and concerns of players in Belgium — from local payment methods like Bancontact to Belgian Gaming Commission regulations and the EPIS self-exclusion system. Liondeposits.com was built from the ground up with Belgian players in mind, and every guide, review, and comparison reflects that focus.
We believe that informed players are empowered players. When you understand how different payment methods work, what deposit minimums really mean, and what the fine print of a bonus actually says, you are in a much stronger position to make decisions that are right for you. That is the value we aim to deliver with every article we publish.
Beyond providing useful information, we are deeply committed to promoting responsible gambling. We include responsible gambling resources in our content, encourage players to set personal limits, and always remind our readers that gambling should be treated as entertainment — never as a source of income. If gambling stops being enjoyable, it is time to stop and seek help.
What We Do
Payment Methods Analysis
Our core expertise lies in testing and comparing casino payment methods available to Belgian players. For every method we cover — from Bancontact and Visa to Bitcoin, PayPal, Skrill, Neteller, and Maestro — we conduct real-money deposits and withdrawals at multiple casinos. We document processing times, fees, minimum and maximum limits, and the overall user experience. Our payment method guides give Belgian players clear, data-driven information to help them choose the right option for their needs, whether they prioritise speed, low fees, privacy, or convenience.
Casino Reviews
We maintain a curated list of casinos available to Belgian players, evaluated through the lens of what matters most: payment processing reliability, bonus transparency, customer support quality, game selection, and regulatory compliance. Unlike many review sites, we do not simply list every casino that exists. We only review casinos that we have personally tested, and we only recommend those that meet our standards for fairness, reliability, and player experience. Our reviews are updated regularly to ensure accuracy.
Bonus & Deposit Guides
We provide comprehensive guides on no-deposit bonuses and minimum deposit casinos, breaking down the real value of each offer. We explain wagering requirements in plain language, highlight any restrictions or limitations, and help players understand what they are actually getting. Our guides cover everything from €5 no-deposit bonuses to €1 minimum deposit casinos, always with a focus on clarity and honesty.
Blog & Industry Analysis
Our blog covers Belgian gambling regulation updates, payment method comparisons, industry trends, and practical guides for players. We aim to be a trusted resource for Belgian players who want to stay informed about the evolving online gambling landscape. From regulatory changes by the Belgian Gaming Commission to new payment technologies entering the market, our blog keeps readers up to date with content that is relevant, timely, and genuinely informative.
Our Team
Behind Liondeposits.com is a team of four professionals united by a shared commitment to honest, high-quality content. Our team combines investigative journalism skills with deep expertise in content creation, ensuring that every article we publish meets the highest standards of accuracy, readability, and usefulness.
Mathieu Claes — Lead Journalist & Founder
Mathieu founded Liondeposits.com in 2024 after years of frustration with the lack of reliable, Belgium-specific casino information available online. With a background in investigative journalism and fintech reporting, Mathieu brings a rigorous, evidence-based approach to every piece of content on the site. He personally conducts the majority of our real-money deposit and withdrawal tests, documenting every detail from processing times to hidden fees. Mathieu's philosophy is simple: if we would not trust the information ourselves, we do not publish it. He oversees the editorial direction of the site and ensures that every review reflects genuine testing and honest analysis. When he is not testing payment methods, Mathieu covers Belgian gambling regulation and writes in-depth features on industry developments.
Anaïs Willems — Senior Journalist
Anaïs is our senior journalist and brings over eight years of experience in financial journalism to the team. Before joining Liondeposits.com, she worked for several leading Belgian publications covering consumer finance, banking regulations, and digital payments. Anaïs applies the same fact-checking rigour to casino reviews that she brought to her financial reporting career. She specialises in payment method deep-dives, regulatory analysis, and investigative pieces that examine the fine print most players overlook. Anaïs is particularly passionate about consumer protection and ensuring that Belgian players have access to clear, unbiased information. She also manages our editorial standards documentation and ensures consistency across all published content.
Jonas De Smedt — Senior Content Writer
Jonas is our senior content writer with a talent for turning complex technical information into clear, accessible guides that anyone can understand. With a background in technical writing and digital communications, Jonas is responsible for our payment method comparison guides, minimum deposit casino breakdowns, and no-deposit bonus analyses. He works closely with Mathieu and Anaïs to translate their testing data and research findings into comprehensive, reader-friendly content. Jonas has a particular expertise in cryptocurrency payment methods and blockchain technology, which makes him the team's go-to writer for Bitcoin and crypto casino content. He believes that good content should educate and empower, never confuse or mislead.
Sophie Mertens — Content Writer & Regulatory Specialist
Sophie combines her content writing skills with deep knowledge of Belgian and European gambling regulation. She holds a degree in European law and spent several years working in regulatory compliance before transitioning to content creation. At Liondeposits.com, Sophie is responsible for our responsible gambling content, regulatory update articles, and legal information pages. She monitors decisions from the Belgian Gaming Commission, tracks EPIS self-exclusion system developments, and ensures that all content on the site accurately reflects the current legal landscape. Sophie is passionate about player protection and believes that well-informed players are safer players. She also handles our FAQ sections and ensures that all legal and compliance-related content is accurate, current, and easy to understand.
Our Review Methodology
Every casino and payment method review on Liondeposits.com follows our documented testing methodology. This process ensures consistency, accuracy, and fairness across all of our content:
- Real-Money Testing: We deposit real funds using the payment method being reviewed. No simulated transactions, no demo accounts. Every test involves genuine money at genuine casinos.
- Full Cycle Testing: We complete the entire deposit → play → withdrawal cycle, documenting timings, fees, and user experience at each stage of the process.
- Multiple Tests: Key metrics like withdrawal speed and fee structures are tested multiple times across different days, times, and amounts to account for natural variation and ensure reliability.
- Quarterly Re-Testing: We re-test our reviewed casinos on a quarterly basis to ensure our data and recommendations remain current and accurate. The online casino landscape changes rapidly, and we are committed to keeping pace.
- Transparent Reporting: We publish our test dates, methodology details, and data sources so readers can evaluate the freshness and reliability of our information for themselves.
- Documented Evidence: Every claim we make is backed by our own testing data. We do not rely on unverified third-party claims or marketing materials when forming our assessments.
Editorial Independence
Editorial independence is the foundation of everything we do at Liondeposits.com. Our reviews, rankings, and recommendations are determined solely by our testing results and the honest judgment of our editorial team. No external party can influence our content, alter our ratings, or dictate what we publish. Our editorial team operates with complete autonomy, and our review methodology is applied consistently and impartially across every casino and payment method we evaluate.
We believe that trust is earned through transparency and consistency, not through marketing claims. That is why we are open about our methodology, our team, and our editorial process. If you ever have questions about how we arrive at our conclusions, we encourage you to reach out to us — we are always happy to explain our reasoning.
Responsible Gambling
We take responsible gambling very seriously. Gambling should always be treated as a form of entertainment, never as a way to make money or solve financial problems. We encourage all of our readers to set personal time and money limits, to never chase losses, and to take regular breaks from gambling. If gambling ever stops being enjoyable, it is time to stop and seek help immediately.
Belgian players can access support through the Belgian Gaming Commission (gamingcommission.be), the EPIS self-exclusion system, BeGambleAware (begambleaware.org), and GamCare (gamcare.org.uk). We include responsible gambling reminders throughout our content because we believe that player welfare should always come first.
