Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At BC Game IN, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a means to earn money or solve financial problems. We encourage all our players to gamble within their means and to view any money spent on gaming as the cost of entertainment, similar to going to a movie or concert.

If you find yourself struggling with your gaming habits, please reach out for help. Support is available.

Age Verification

Gaming on BC Game IN is strictly reserved for individuals who are 18 years of age or older, or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction within India, whichever is higher. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are under the legal age, please do not attempt to register or participate in gaming activities.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be aware of these warning signs:

• Chasing Losses: Continuing to gamble to recover money you've lost
• Hiding Gaming Activity: Concealing the extent of your gambling from family or friends
• Increasing Stakes: Needing to bet more money to achieve the same excitement
• Neglecting Responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family obligations due to gaming
• Using Gaming to Escape: Gambling to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, or other emotional issues
• Financial Strain: Borrowing money or experiencing financial difficulties related to gaming
• Loss of Control: Being unable to stick to predetermined limits or stopping when you intend to
• Withdrawal Symptoms: Feeling irritable or anxious when not gaming
• Tolerance: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to feel satisfied
• Failed Attempts to Quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gaming

If you recognize any of these signs in your own behavior, please seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools

BC Game IN provides several built-in tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you are willing to deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount of losses you are willing to incur before you stop gaming for a set period
• Reality Checks: Enable reminders during your gaming sessions to help you stay aware of how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from your account for a predetermined period if you feel your gaming is becoming problematic
• Account Cooling-Off: Take a break from gaming by temporarily closing your account

To access these tools, log into your BC Game IN account and visit the Responsible Gaming settings in your account preferences. Our support team is available to assist you in setting up these limits.
