Gambling should be entertainment, not a way to make money. Only play with money you can afford to lose, set limits before you start, and stop if it stops being fun. You must be 18 or older.
Warning signs
- Chasing losses or depositing again to win money back
- Borrowing, selling things or using bill money to gamble
- Hiding gambling from family or friends
- Feeling anxious or irritable when not playing
- Believing a strategy, predictor or “agent” can guarantee wins
Tools on BC.Game
In your account settings you can set deposit and loss limits, take a cooling-off break, or self-exclude for a longer period. Live support can also close your account on request.
Simple rules that help
- Set a weekly budget and never top it up.
- Use a timer and take breaks.
- Do not gamble when upset, tired or after drinking.
