Key Principles for Responsible Gaming
To enjoy gambling responsibly, it’s essential to follow a few crucial guidelines:
- Gambling should be recreational, not a means to generate financial gain.
- Play during leisure time only and ensure that gambling does not interfere with daily life. Limit time spent at the casino.
- Losses in the casino should not be viewed as a solution to financial troubles.
- Set a strict budget for gambling and never exceed it. Monitor spending and stick to the predetermined limit.
- Avoid using real money to recover losses or dipping into other areas of your budget.
Identifying Problem Gambling
To assess if gambling habits have become problematic, ask yourself the following questions:
- Do you spend more time gambling than you initially intended?
- Have you regretted a gambling session afterward?
- Have you ever used gambling as a way to solve financial problems?
- Do you try to recover losses by continuing to gamble?
- Have you ever gambled until you lost all your money?
- Do you gamble using borrowed money?
- Have you used money from selling possessions to fund gambling?
- Does gambling negatively impact your responsibilities or relationships with loved ones?
- Do you gamble when feeling down or stressed?
- Have you ever considered self-harm or suicide due to gambling?
If you answer “Yes” to five or more of these questions, it may be time to seek help from professional services.
Preventing Underage Gambling
It’s essential to recognize that gambling is strictly prohibited for individuals under the legal age. Parents should take an active role in their children’s activities and monitor their interests to prevent underage gambling. If it is discovered that someone under 18 has used the platform for gambling or making transactions, all winnings will be forfeited, accounts will be frozen, and authorities may be involved.

Playing Responsibly and Protecting Yourself
It’s important to gamble with money that is considered free income — funds that can be spent on entertainment without affecting your essential budget. Gambling should always be about enjoying the experience, and taking a responsible approach is key. Players must acknowledge that they may win, but losses are equally possible. Enjoy the game, but seek help if it becomes problematic. BC.Game is committed to helping players find the right balance and provides support when needed.
Self-Exclusion Option
Self-exclusion is a valuable tool for those who feel they need to take a step back from gambling. By choosing self-exclusion, players agree to the following terms:
- Self-exclusion periods: Players can choose to self-exclude for 1, 3, 6, or 12 months, or indefinitely.
- Account restrictions: During self-exclusion, access to the account and withdrawals are restricted.
- Pending bets: Any pending bets will still be settled according to official results, even during exclusion.
- Winnings: Valid wager wins before self-exclusion will still be honored, and withdrawals for these will be processed.
- No cancellation: Self-exclusion cannot be shortened or canceled until the period is over.
- Extensions: Players can request an extension of their self-exclusion by contacting customer service.
- Account reactivation: After the self-exclusion period ends, players can email support to reactivate their accounts.
- No new accounts: Players are prohibited from opening new accounts during the self-exclusion period.
By opting for self-exclusion, players agree not to deposit money or wager on the platform for the specified duration. BC.Game will not be held liable for any financial losses incurred during this voluntary self-exclusion period.
