Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Maple Gardens, we believe that online gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. BC Game and all gambling activities carry inherent risks. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Remember: The house always has an edge. Only spend money you can afford to lose, and never gamble with funds needed for essential expenses like rent, food, utilities, or medical care.
Age Verification & Legal Requirements
In India, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your state) to participate in online gaming on BC Game or any gambling platform.
By accessing this site, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement for your jurisdiction. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
Parents & Guardians: If you're concerned about a minor's access to gambling sites, use parental control software and open communication about the risks of gambling.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do any of these statements apply to you? If so, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses — gambling more money to try to recover what you've lost
- Hiding your gambling activities from family, friends, or partners
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Neglecting work, school, family, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money, using credit cards, or taking loans to gamble
- Experiencing mood swings, anxiety, or irritability related to gambling
- Unable to cut back or stop gambling despite wanting to
- Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or other negative emotions
- Lies about the amount of time or money spent on gambling
- Financial problems or debts resulting from gambling
If you recognize these signs in yourself or someone close to you, seek help immediately. Problem gambling is a treatable condition.
