888, Everest, Chilipoker and Titan Blacklisted in Belgium

The Belgium government has blacklisted online gambling firms 888, Everest, Chilipoker and Titan as part of its new regulatory policy.

The four largest internet service providers in Belgium are expected to prevent customers from accessing domain names on the list either through DNS or IP blocking, according to PokerFuse.com.

It also appears that PartyPoker has had a change of heart as it applies to Belgium.

From PokerFuse.com:

One notable exception on both the white and blacklist are any bwin.party domains, whose PartyPoker online poker room is the second largest internationally and runs regulated online poker rooms in France and Italy. Although the company had previously stated publicly that it felt the Belgian gaming regulation was contrary to EU law, it recently announced that it would too be applying for a license and was hopefully it would be in the first wave of licenses granted.

PokerStars received the first license on Wednesday (February 8, 2012).
