How to Gamble Responsibly?
Gambling should be fun, not something that causes stress or problems. You can enjoy the betting while staying in control. To keep things healthy, follow these simple tips:
- You are here to have fun, not to earn money;
- Don’t try to win back what you’ve lost;
- Set clear time or money limits for yourself;
- Keep your gambling separate from your daily life and duties;
- Only play with money you can afford to lose;
- Step away from the game sometimes – take breaks.
Self-Assessment
Gambling can be fun and exciting. But sometimes, it can become more than just a harmless way to pass the time. It can start to cause problems in different parts of your life. The first step in fixing it is to notice when things feel off. This self-assessment helps you look at your habits and see if gambling is creating issues:
- You’ve gone through periods of 2 weeks or more when you spent a lot of time thinking about gambling, planning your next bets, or finding ways to get money to gamble;
- You’ve needed to bet larger amounts over time to feel the same level of excitement;
- You’ve felt tense, restless, or irritated when trying to stop or reduce gambling;
- You’ve tried to stop or cut down on gambling at least three times, but couldn’t do it;
- You’ve gambled to escape personal problems or to cope with feelings like guilt, sadness, anxiety, or stress;
- After losing money, you often came back another day to try to win it back;
- You’ve lied at least three times to family, friends, or others about how much you gambled or lost;
- You’ve written bad checks or taken money that wasn’t yours to fund your gambling;
- Gambling has caused serious problems in your relationships, at work, or in your studies;
- You’ve had to ask others – like friends, family, or lenders – for money because of gambling losses.
Gambling Limits
You can set limits to stay in control of your spending. Choose how much money you want to allow yourself to lose or bet each day, week, or month. Once your limit is set, it takes effect right away. For example, if you set a 100 USD daily limit at 2 PM, it will reset at midnight (UTC+0). If you remove a limit, the change will also update at midnight the next day. These tools help you manage your activity and stay safe.
Underage Gambling
BC Game allows only users who meet legal age requirements. You must be at least 18 or older in your region. The site performs checks through payment methods to confirm age. If a case of underage gambling appears, you lose the winnings, and BC.Game closes your account.
To help keep minors safe, you can take simple steps at home. These actions reduce the risk of access through devices that you share with minors or open accounts:
- Set a password for your device;
- Keep your device locked when you step away;
- Make sure you hide your payment details well enough;
- Avoid saving passwords in your browser;
- Store written passwords in safe places and out of reach;
- Use filters such as Net Nanny to block gambling sites.
BC Game also encourages parents and guardians to stay aware of online activity in the household. Supervision helps protect minors from harmful content and accidental exposure to gambling.
Questions
You need clear signs that help you understand if your gambling is under control or not. These questions make you think about your own habits. Answer honestly and without pressure. Your answers show whether you need support or stronger limits. Here are the questions:
- Does gambling affect your work or school life?
- Does gambling cause stress in your family or friendships?
- Do you return to recover losses?
- Do you borrow money for gambling?
- Do you treat gambling as income?
- Do you find it hard to stop?
- Do you feel restless when you try to limit gambling?
- Do you stay longer than planned?
- Do you use gambling as a way to escape problems?
- Do you feel pressure to increase the size of your bets?
If you answer “yes” to most of them, take steps to protect yourself – use breaks, contact support, or use site tools that help you control your play.
