You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from any content without our express written permission. Your use of our services does not grant you any ownership rights to our intellectual property.
Limitation of Liability
BC Game provides services on an āas isā and āas availableā basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation of our platform. To the fullest extent permitted by Belgian law, we disclaim all warranties, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of our services. Our total liability to you for any claims related to these terms shall not exceed the amount you have deposited in your account during the six months preceding the claim.
You acknowledge that gambling involves risk and that you may lose money. We are not responsible for any losses you incur through the use of our services.
General Betting Rules
Our betting services operate according to strict rules designed to ensure fairness, transparency, and regulatory compliance. Understanding these rules is essential before you place any bets on our platform.
Eligibility to Place Bets
Only registered users who have completed account verification and are physically located in permitted jurisdictions may place bets. You must have sufficient funds in your account to cover the stake amount. We reserve the right to refuse any bet at our discretion, particularly if we suspect fraudulent activity or violation of these terms.
Bet Acceptance and Confirmation
A bet is considered accepted only when you receive confirmation through the platform interface. Until confirmation is received, no binding contract exists. We reserve the right to reject bets placed in error, bets that exceed maximum limits, or bets placed after an event has started (unless specifically offered as in-play betting).
If a bet is rejected, the stake amount will be returned to your account immediately. Technical issues or delays in confirmation do not constitute acceptance of a bet.
Minimum and Maximum Betting Limits
Each game, event, and betting market has specific minimum and maximum stake limits, which are displayed before you place your bet. These limits may vary based on the type of game, your account history, and current market conditions. We reserve the right to adjust these limits at any time without prior notice.
General minimum and maximum limits apply across all betting activities to promote responsible gambling and manage risk exposure.
Calculation of Winnings
Winnings are calculated based on the odds displayed at the time your bet was accepted and the official outcome of the event or game. For sports betting, odds may be displayed in decimal, fractional, or American format according to your preference.
If an event is abandoned, postponed, or cancelled, bets will generally be voided and stakes returned unless the event is rescheduled within a specified timeframe. Specific rules for each betting category are available in the respective sections of our platform.
Betting Restrictions and Fair Play
We employ sophisticated monitoring systems to detect irregular betting patterns, arbitrage betting, and other activities that may compromise the integrity of our services. If we identify such activities, we reserve the right to:
- Void affected bets
- Suspend or close your account
- Withhold winnings pending investigation
- Report suspicious activities to relevant authorities
Arbitrage betting, syndicate betting, and betting using inside information are strictly prohibited.
Bet Cancellation and Settlement
Once a bet has been confirmed and the event or game has commenced, it cannot be cancelled. In exceptional circumstances, such as obvious errors in odds or market information, we reserve the right to void bets and return stakes.
All bets are settled based on official results as determined by the relevant governing body for the event. Settlement typically occurs shortly after the conclusion of an event, but may be delayed pending official confirmation or investigation of irregularities.
Payment Rules
Our payment policies are designed to provide secure, efficient, and compliant financial transactions whilst protecting both you and the platform from fraud and money laundering.
Deposit Procedures
You may fund your account using any of the payment methods available in the cashier section of your account. Available methods may include credit and debit cards, e-wallets, bank transfers, and cryptocurrencies, subject to your location and payment provider restrictions.
Deposits are generally credited to your account immediately, though bank transfers may require additional processing time. Minimum and maximum deposit limits apply and vary by payment method. No fees are charged by BC Game for deposits, though your payment provider may impose charges.
You may only deposit funds from payment sources in your own name. Third-party deposits are strictly prohibited and may result in account suspension and confiscation of funds.
Withdrawal Procedures
You may request withdrawal of your available balance at any time, subject to completion of account verification procedures. Withdrawals must be made to a payment method registered in your name.
Processing times vary by withdrawal method:
- Cryptocurrency withdrawals: typically processed within 24 hours
- E-wallet withdrawals: 1-3 business days
- Bank transfers: 3-7 business days
- Card withdrawals: 3-5 business days
We reserve the right to process large withdrawals in installments and to apply additional verification procedures for withdrawals exceeding certain thresholds.
Withdrawal Limits and Fees
Minimum and maximum withdrawal limits apply according to your payment method and account status. Standard withdrawal limits may be increased for VIP members or upon request, subject to enhanced verification.
BC Game does not charge withdrawal fees for most methods, though your payment provider may impose charges. Cryptocurrency network fees apply to crypto withdrawals and are deducted from the withdrawal amount.
Identity Verification Requirements
To comply with anti-money laundering regulations and Belgian legal requirements, you must complete identity verification before processing withdrawal requests. This verification process typically requires:
- Government-issued photo identification (passport, national identity card, or driving licence)
- Proof of address dated within the last three months (utility bill, bank statement, or government correspondence)
- Proof of payment method ownership (bank statement or card photograph)
- Additional documentation may be requested in specific circumstances
Verification is usually completed within 72 hours of receiving all required documents. We employ strict data protection measures to safeguard your personal information during this process.
Transaction Restrictions
Certain restrictions apply to protect the integrity of our services:
- Deposits must be wagered at least once before withdrawal is permitted
- Bonus funds are subject to specific wagering requirements
- Suspected fraudulent deposits may be frozen pending investigation
- Chargebacks or payment disputes will result in account suspension
We reserve the right to conduct additional verification or to refuse withdrawal requests if we suspect violation of these terms, fraudulent activity, or money laundering.
Transaction Cancellation
Deposit transactions cannot be cancelled once initiated. Withdrawal requests may be cancelled before processing is complete, returning the funds to your account balance. Once a withdrawal has been processed, it cannot be reversed.
Responsible Gambling
BC Game is committed to promoting responsible gambling practices and preventing gambling-related harm. We provide tools and resources to help you maintain control over your gambling activities.
Understanding Gambling Risks
Gambling should be viewed as entertainment, not as a way to make money or solve financial problems. You should only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Gambling involves risk, and the odds are designed to favour the house in the long term.
Signs that gambling may be becoming problematic include:
- Spending more time or money gambling than intended
- Gambling to escape problems or relieve negative emotions
- Chasing losses by continuing to gamble
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
- Neglecting work, family, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Lying to others about gambling activities
If you recognise these signs in your own behaviour, we encourage you to use our responsible gambling tools or seek professional assistance.
Account Control Tools
We provide several tools to help you manage your gambling activity:
Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on the amount you can deposit into your account. Increases to deposit limits take effect after a 24-hour cooling-off period, whilst decreases are applied immediately.
Loss Limits: Establish maximum losses over specific time periods. Once reached, you will be unable to place further bets until the period resets.
Session Time Reminders: Configure notifications to alert you after specified periods of continuous play.
Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders showing how long you have been active on the platform and your net wins or losses during the session.
Cooling-Off Periods: Temporarily suspend your account for periods ranging from 24 hours to six weeks. During this time, you will be unable to access your account or place bets.
These tools can be accessed through the responsible gambling section of your account settings.
Self-Exclusion Options
If you feel you need to take a complete break from gambling, you can request self-exclusion for a minimum period of six months or permanently. During self-exclusion:
- You will be unable to access your account
- You will not receive any marketing communications
- Any active bonuses will be forfeited
- You may withdraw your remaining balance
Self-exclusion requests are processed immediately and cannot be reversed during the exclusion period. After the minimum exclusion period expires, you may request account reactivation, which will be subject to a 24-hour cooling-off period and may require additional verification.
For long-term protection, we also recommend registering with EPGAT (Excluded Persons Gaming and Betting), Belgiumās national gambling exclusion register.
Support Resources
If you are struggling with gambling-related problems, professional help is available:
- Gratis Hulplijn Gokverslaving: 0800 35 777 (free, confidential helpline)
- VAD (Vereniging voor Alcohol- en andere Drugproblemen): www.vad.be
- CAD Limburg (Center for Alcohol and other Drug problems): www.cadlimburg.be

Anti-Money Laundering
BC Game maintains a comprehensive anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) programme in compliance with Belgian and international regulations. We are committed to preventing criminals from using our platform to launder illicit proceeds.
Legal Obligations and Compliance Framework
As a licensed gambling operator, we are subject to Belgian and international anti-money laundering legislation, including:

- European Union directives on preventing money laundering and terrorist financing
- Financial Action Task Force (FATF) recommendations
- Blockchain and cryptocurrency-specific regulations where applicable
We have implemented policies and procedures to detect and prevent money laundering, terrorist financing, and other financial crimes. Our compliance programme is regularly reviewed and updated to reflect changes in regulatory requirements and emerging threats.
Customer Due Diligence and Identity Verification
We conduct risk-based customer due diligence on all users. During registration and before processing withdrawal requests, you must provide identification documents and information to verify:
- Your identity (full name, date of birth, nationality)
- Your residential address
- The source of funds used for gambling activities
For high-risk customers or large transactions, we may request enhanced due diligence, including:
- Additional identification documents
- Bank statements or proof of income
- Explanation of the source and origin of funds
- Information about the purpose and intended nature of the business relationship
Failure to provide requested information may result in restrictions on your account, including suspension of deposit and withdrawal privileges.
Transaction Monitoring
We employ sophisticated automated monitoring systems to analyse account activity and detect suspicious patterns that may indicate money laundering or other illicit activity. Monitored factors include:
- Large or unusual deposit and withdrawal patterns
- Rapid movement of funds with minimal gambling activity
- Transactions inconsistent with known customer profile
- Structuring of transactions to avoid reporting thresholds
- Use of multiple payment methods or frequent changes to payment methods
- Attempts to circumvent verification procedures
Transactions flagged by our monitoring systems are reviewed by our compliance team and may be subject to additional investigation.
Suspicious Activity Reporting
If we identify or suspect money laundering, terrorist financing, or other criminal activity, we are legally obliged to report this to the Belgian Financial Intelligence Processing Unit (CTIF-CFI) and other relevant authorities. We are prohibited from disclosing to you that a report has been made or that an investigation is underway.
Consequences of Policy Violations
Violation of our anti-money laundering policies, refusal to cooperate with verification procedures, or involvement in suspicious activity may result in:
- Immediate account suspension or closure
- Freezing of account funds pending investigation
- Confiscation of funds determined to be proceeds of crime
- Reporting to law enforcement and regulatory authorities
- Legal action to recover damages
We reserve the right to void all bets and winnings if we determine that you have engaged in money laundering or provided false information during the verification process.
