Carousel review Belgium: the dice veteran now owned by Gaming1

Carousel review: is it legit and what stands out?

Is Carousel legit? Yes. It runs under a Belgian B+ licence from the Gaming Commission, it is linked to a real gaming hall in West Flanders and it applies the Belgian rules on age (21+), deposit limits and EPIS checks. Is Carousel safe? Since the takeover by Gaming1, one of the biggest Belgian gaming groups, it has more muscle behind it than ever.

Three things make Carousel stand out:

• Experience: online since 2012, which makes it one of the longest-running dice sites in Belgium
• The Carousel withdrawal: most requests are processed within 3 hours (24 hours at most) and then sent straight to your bank
• Payment choice: PayPal and Neosurf, rare on B+ sites, with a €5 minimum deposit via Neosurf

In my view it is a solid, no-nonsense pick for dice players. It is not flashy, it has no app, but it does the basics right.

Licence, gaming hall and the Gaming1 takeover

Carousel is an online gaming hall, not an A+ online casino. Its B+ licence (CJH dossier 4248, decision of 23 June 2021) belongs to Pac-Man NV and is tied to the Carousel gaming hall at Brugsesteenweg 13 in Harelbeke (Hulste). That hall holds class B licence 4248, valid until 23 June 2030.

For years the company belonged to the De Backer family, also owners of 711. In September 2026 Gaming1 announced it had acquired 100% of Pac-Man NV. Because the licence sits with the company, it moves with the shares: nothing changes for your account today. Gaming1 has announced that Carousel will be integrated into its platform, but without a timeline.

One detail for transparency: the Gaming Commission's open-data B+ table shows an odd expiry date (4 July 2021) on the Carousel row, while the domain is still listed in the register. It looks like a data glitch rather than a licence issue, and the land-based licence runs until 2030.

Dice games first: the Carousel lobby

Carousel was built on dice games and it shows. The lobby is packed with Belgian-style dice titles:

• Mega Wheels, Infinity Dice and Money Wheel
• Take it or Not, Free Spinner and Rapid Rush
• Fakir Dice slots
• Betsoft dice-slot versions made for Carousel under a 2019 deal

That last point matters: Carousel is one of the few Belgian sites that had studio content adapted specifically for it. Betsoft, Endorphina, Gaming1 and Evolution form the core of the provider list. Carousel does not publish a total game count, so I won't guess one; the strength here is depth in dice, not sheer volume. Want to understand why Belgian sites show dice instead of fruit on the reels?

Live casino yes, sports and poker no

Evolution powers the live section, so you can play roulette and blackjack with a real dealer. Beyond that, Carousel stays in its lane: no sportsbook, no poker room, no bingo. If you want to bet on the Red Devils from the same account, you will need a site with an F1+ licence. For a dice-and-slots player, the narrow focus keeps the site simple and quick to navigate.

Promotions: jackpots and tournaments instead of a bonus

If you are looking for a Carousel welcome bonus, here is the reality: since 1 September 2024 Belgian-licensed sites may not offer welcome bonuses, free spins, no-deposit or deposit bonuses. No code, no exception. Carousel replaces them with mechanics built into the games:

• Carousel Jackpots: Cash Explosion and Turbo Treasure, random drops that can land on any game
• Casino tournaments with leaderboards
• Super Game, a mini-game on top of regular play
• Mystery games

There is no birthday offer, and the promo menu is lighter than at Peppermill or BeCasino. But jackpots that can drop on every game you play are a straightforward deal with no wagering attached. More on our Carousel promotions page.

Payments: PayPal, Neosurf from €5 and payouts within 3 hours

Carousel has one of the most complete payment menus among Belgian B+ sites:

The minimum deposit is €10, or €5 via Neosurf. The minimum withdrawal is €10. Most withdrawals are processed within 3 hours, with 24 hours as the maximum, and are then sent to your bank immediately. Having PayPal at a casino is a real plus for expats who keep their money in a PayPal balance. Bancontact users get One-Click deposits, which is as fast as it gets.

Mobile, itsme registration, limits and support

Carousel has no native app in the Belgian App Store or Google Play. The mobile site handles dice games and live tables in the browser, so it works fine on a phone.

Opening an account follows the standard Belgian flow: identity check (itsme is the quickest option on Belgian sites; otherwise you use your eID), automatic EPIS check, then your deposit limit. The default is €200 per week per site, which you can ask to raise to €500 after a check of the National Bank credit register.

Support runs through a contact form, email (support@carousel.be) and a Zendesk help centre, in French and Dutch. No live chat and no English-language support listed, which is a minus if you don't speak either language.

Carousel vs Circus and Blitz: who is it for?

Carousel is for players who want a classic Belgian dice site with a long track record, PayPal or Neosurf deposits and payouts usually within three hours.

Since it now belongs to Gaming1, the natural comparison is Circus Casino, Gaming1's flagship. Circus holds an A+ licence via Casino de Namur, has 140+ providers, native apps and cash deposits and withdrawals in 30+ Circus halls. If you want a bigger catalogue and an app, Circus wins. The other rival is Blitz Casino from Antwerp, another B+ site on the Gaming1 platform with native iOS and Android apps, PayPal and Skrill. Carousel holds its own on payout speed and the €5 Neosurf entry point. For the full picture, check our ranking of Belgian casinos.
