In short: Bet City Ru is a foreign operator without a Belgian licence. Net-net, this is a solid but not spectacular choice.
What Bet City Ru is worth when you actually play: licence, payouts, support.

Licence status
Bet City Ru is not registered with the Belgian regulator. On the black list of more than 900 domains sits betcityru as well.
What is missing: the EPIS connection and the €200-per-week limit. What goes wrong is settled outside the Belgian framework.
Opening and verifying an account
Opening an account follows a fixed pattern: real name, date of birth and an identity check before the first withdrawal. An ID and something that evidences your address usually suffice. Depositing under a name other than the account holder's causes delay.
Support here usually runs in English, and a complaint cannot reach the Gaming Commission. Leave the transaction mails in your inbox; in a dispute over a payout those are the only documents that count.

What the law imposes
The Belgian legislator approaches player protection more strictly than most of its neighbours with effects you cannot route around. The standard limit runs to €200 per week per site.
Self-exclusion in Belgium is handled centrally, through EPIS: a single request is enough to stay out everywhere at once. The register is not public. Since 1 September 2024 the minimum age is 21 for casino, gaming hall and betting; only the National Lottery stays at 18. Without valid ID you do not get through.

FAQ
Not for the player. Belgium taxes the operator, not the winner. Nothing about that rule changes in 2026. Ask for advice if large amounts are involved.
From 21. The bar rose in September 2024, only the lottery stayed at 18. Trial accounts fall under the same limit. The rule applies online and on-site alike.
Yes, €200 per week per site — unless you set a lower cap yourself. Set it deliberately lower if you are unsure. You set it in your account settings.
Always work the wagering through: 35x on a €50 bonus means €1,750 of turnover before a payout. The terms usually sit at the bottom of the bonus page. Read the maximum cashout above all.
You register with EPIS. It works nationally and immediately. The exclusion cannot be undone straight away. The register is not publicly searchable.
Yes. Bancontact and Bancontact Pay are the standard deposit methods; withdrawals go by bank transfer. Always pay from an account in your own name. Reckon on a minimum of around €5.
