Responsible Gaming

Gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Never chase losses or bet more than you can afford to lose. If gambling stops being fun, it is time to pause and seek support.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years old to use this platform. In some Indian states, the legal gambling age may be higher — always follow the law in your region. Underage gambling is strictly prohibited. We may ask for identity documents to confirm your age.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Ask yourself honestly if any of the following apply to you:

• Chasing losses — trying to win back money you have lost by betting more.
• Hiding your gambling from family, friends, or colleagues.
• Borrowing money or selling belongings to gamble.
• Feeling restless or irritable when you try to cut down or stop gambling.
• Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or depression.
• Lying about the time or money spent on gambling.
• Neglecting work, school, or relationships because of gambling.
• Thinking you can “beat the system” or that a big win will fix everything.

If you recognise three or more of these signs, it may be time to seek professional help.

Self-Help Tools

Most trusted betting platforms, including BC Game, offer tools to help you stay in control:

• Deposit limits — set a maximum amount you can add to your account per day, week, or month.
• Loss limits — cap how much you can lose over a set period.
• Reality checks — receive alerts showing how long you have been playing.
• Time-out periods — take a short break from gambling for 24 hours, 7 days, or longer.
• Self-exclusion — block your own access to the platform for a chosen period (e.g., 6 months, 1 year, or permanently).

You can usually find these options in your account settings under “Responsible Gaming” or “Player Protection”. If you cannot locate them, contact customer support for help.
