Responsible Gambling at BC Game Canada
At BC Game Canada, we believe that gambling should always be an enjoyable form of entertainment — never a source of stress, financial hardship, or harm. We are committed to providing a safe environment for all players and offer a comprehensive set of responsible gambling tools to help you stay in control. This page outlines the measures available to you, warning signs to watch for, and independent Canadian resources where you can seek support. If you ever feel that gambling is negatively affecting your life, please use the tools below or reach out for help without hesitation.
Age Restrictions & Legal Compliance
BC Game Canada strictly enforces a minimum age requirement of 19 years for all players in most Canadian provinces. We conduct identity verification checks to prevent underage gambling. If we suspect a player is under the legal age, the account will be suspended pending verification. We also support parental control tools and encourage households with minors to use third-party filtering software to block access to gambling sites.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Be aware of the following warning signs:
- Spending more money or time gambling than you originally intended.
- Chasing losses by increasing bet sizes after a losing session.
- Neglecting work, family, or personal responsibilities due to gambling.
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling activity.
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling.
- Hiding gambling behaviour from friends or family.
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you care about, please take action immediately using the tools and resources on this page.
