WARNING BC.Game, lots of complaints but no resolutions

[jasonuk]

Sounds like you're fleshing out the questions for the self-service questionnaire...

- Is it based in Costa Rica, Saint Lucia, Panama or another place completely unknown for gambling
- Can you deposit money via a credit card
- Are the deposits appearing in a different currency to the one specified
- Can you play with a VPN
- Do they offer "too good to be true" promotions (whether intentionally or because the terms are deceptively written)

... our survey says: shithole casino

Admittedly such a questionnaire would always be an upper bound of trust rather than a lower bound and need to be carefully written - even regulated operations can behave like cowboys (Football Index, anything linked to Entain etc), but there are so many warning signs to be had if people knew what they were looking for...

The problem is, they see the shill sites saying this completely unregulated site is totally safe and then realise the hard way... when the money has gone in and will never come out!

Many people have common sayings like "oh I can't stand that, or I hate that".

To me it doesn’t apply because I can't think of anything that I can't stand on hate, lol

But, there is a one thing " Not on Gamstop Casinos".

If i could, i would feed those who promote this stuff to pigs, seriously. Lol

 

[gonzo fonso]

ive had several cashouts nothing massive,not the quickest of processing times about 48 hours,but i enjoy the deposit bonuses,i do not enjoy playing at betfair,william hill,bet365 etc anymore

I just logged into my BC.Game account to check my balance as I left approximately $60 there from last weekend. Upon logging in I got confronted by a pop up with KYC questions.

The first was asking if I was a US resident or non resident. I answered. The second question was in which country am in and what forms of ID could I provide. There was an X in the corner of this pop up so I clicked it and dismissed the pop up.

From here I was able to get to the deposit screen without question, and I was able to (successfully) withdraw my balance. I decided to do so just in case they are tightening things up.

Would someone else please continue to play there and take the risk of losing any winnings, just so you can let us know how you get on?

do you know on BC and 87 com every fiat deposit you get bonus $ real money,

No I didn’t but I only use crypto there anyway.

I just tried 87. It’s just another domain for BC?

There are plenty of them. Some i know are greenmoon, bcgamebet, Boostup77, and Rollwithcoco. Likely, they're made for specific countries or in case the main site gets blocked, so they always have mirror versions. It could also be for search engine visibility as all these versions rank and show separately but essentially go to the same place.

Yeah, i saw that notification too, and then just clicked X. The site doesn't look now like a proper crypto casino with no questions asked.

TBH, despite the concerns of BC and other similar, I wouldn’t be surprised if even more people sign up to places like BC in a couple of weeks as we fast approach the 30th august and the £500 a month shenanigans the UKGC bringing in, what pisses me off is if they going to limit people to 500 and from feb 150 a month why do we need slot stake limits of £5.

As said countless times already on here it’s all gone to pot and is not going to make anything better if anything it’s going to drive even more people to the likes of BC.

As said countless times already on here it’s all gone to pot and is not going to make anything better if anything it’s going to drive even more people to the likes of BC.

They're not limiting it though, and they're not adding additional steps to the process either - it'll be when the first tier of background checks (using only public data) kick in... £500 from end of this month, £150 from the end of February. These checks have already been happening for a year or two at this point.

I actually don't expect any meaningful change here - if anything it'll make things better because it introduces clearly defined limits to stop companies using any excuse to harvest data (been plenty of examples of people who have no deposit or play history for 12+ months but are getting checked for affordability).

The bigger question will be the higher tier of checks (into CDD/SoW territory) - we have no details on that yet, and that could cause some raised eyebrows.

The £5 spin limit on the other hand, I guess we'll see... high rollers will have no choice, but I doubt it'll impact that many players overall. If we start getting to £2 or even £1 stakes, then I agree the exodus would be significant.

 

[Reelsoffun]

Ah ok, so for people like myself that has a 1200 a month limit nothings going to really change then?

As those checks have been happening this last year.

 

[ritae]

I closed my BC Game account today. They have removed the option of buying cheap No Limit bonuses and the deposit offers were always crap.

I will stick with the one with the numbers for the weekly and monthly cashback I think.

 

[4dawin888]

@maxd - out of interest, what level of withdrawals are people seeing issues? I play there a bit, but at low stakes and never normally withdrawal more than around $200 at a time, and have never had any issues. I suspect it is much higher withdrawals that see such issues.

This is just my expeirence. I can't guarantee the same but I was just like you only small withdrawals. In February I hit for a jackpot .80 bet and won 10,000x. $8,000.00. I sent in my identification through email as there regular system won't officially verify me. But they know I am who I say I am. I was using litecoin when I won. I exchanged it using there crypto echange for 1/3 bitcoin 1/3 ether 1/3 I left litecoin. I had it all withdrawn except a small portion. Around 7,000 mix of the 3 all withdrawn no problem less than a hour after I hit. If they do this for a person who technically they could've tried to mess with and didn't, I would've assumed they would have no problem cashing out those that are fully integrated and verified in their platform.

 

[maxd]

Quick update, the player issues at BC.Game persist and they continue to ignore player issues we try to take to them. They’re now telling us we can apply to be an affiliate and that might change things. So … if they make money off us they’ll maybe listen to player issues, but if there’s no profit for them then they’re not interested. Classy!

As before players are advised to avoid BC.Game.

If they have truly gone bankrupt and rogue then that is a shame. I’ve just withdrawn an approx $35 balance in LTC I had there (grinding DOA2) plus converted approx $35 in rewards of their BCD coin (which I just converted to LTC). The LTC withdrawal is now safely in my local wallet. Another of my crypto regulars just struck off my list

 

[maxd]

IMHO we all might want to wait a bit before assuming the “bankruptcy” thing is for real. I have no love of BC.Game — based on our experience with them thus far — but I also remember Curaçao trying this ‘they’re bankrupt!” thing in the past when suddenly there was no bankruptcy a few days later. I have no details on that one but it did look a lot like a situation where one party was trying to pressure the other. Just saying we might want to wait and see if that isn’t the case here too.

Degsy and Dazza must have started playing there.

 

[Betreels Casino & Sports]

Word on the street is they do 150,000 FTDs per month and average $300,000,000 in deposits. They also sponsored Leicester City for $40 Million back in July. Not to forget sponsorships with Jason Derulo, Lil Pump, Cloud9.

Don't think they are broke. Just too big to care IMHO.

As for the change in companies ("ownership"): This could have been done to secure a UKGC license which they could not get in the past.

BC.Game have replied with an official statement:

Yeah, they wrote everywhere yesterday, and believe Curacao failed to consider key facts adequately, and that they'll appeal the decision:

Thats the status now. But if they do so many ftd's and ggr, why not simply pay those players through SGBOK and move on.

looks like BC casino dont care about bankrupt, they got another big streamer on deal

 

[jasonuk]

That's a real shame to see Paul fall further and further from grace. It's concerning in the comments that some of the viewers are asking why he has to travel to do this, and isn't copying (list of other affiliate streamers) who are promoting unregulated sites to a UK audience from the UK - which is potentially a criminal offense.

Once again... if the UKGC wants a free win, those streamers are an easy target right now...

He even eludes in the comments that he'll play with his own money but take the bonuses when they come - so at this point assume it's all bonus funds (or fearing the worst, monopoly money).

he streams from Channel Islands not UK, they pay to play on BC, I dont thing Paul plays on fake money, he just get paid to advertise casino, UKGC they let BC to support UK football club for $40m

 

[jasonuk]

Nothing there disagrees with what I said, I mentioned the comments naming other streamers that were (allegedly) streaming from the UK - Paul has always made a point of following that rule because he doesn't want the potential legal repercussions.

While having a quick look at TGC, a reminder of how much great work they did for charity in 2018-2021 with 21Casino... must be in the ballpark of £100k of donations.

UKGC they let BC to support UK football club for $40m

The white label stuff makes this messy...

In the case of BC - there are two entities, BC.game (which is unlicensed, a CGCB-licensed site cannot accept UK players) and BCgame.uk (which has a white label license from TGP Europe Ltd, as we've discussed before).

One of the annoyances here is that they are permitted to use their international branding for a UK-based license - so the shirts have "BC.game" (the logo of the bcgame.uk site, which happens to be the same as the name and logo of the crypto site) instead of "BCgame.uk". It's shaky ground but there may be enough grey area that the UKGC declines to intervene.

As far as the UK-based streamers go, there is no such grey area - they are not promoting the UK site (which offers pragmatic and two no-name providers) but the crypto site (which has the full range). Even when they are "streaming from Ireland", if their business is registered in the UK then the same problem applies - it's up to the UKGC (or even the CGCB now) to enforce it though.

It's a way to cheat the system, and because nobody wanted to take a stand it allowed the lines to blur further and further - such that a problematic and potentially bankrupt crypto casino can be advertising to UK players which cannot play there.

if you go to his forum from UK ip you dont see any crypto casino, only UK casino, on his stream he never post a link of any casino, he only show the name of casino his playing, well UKGC rules only appley in UK not in GB, same with Tax cheat, you can register your self on Channel Islands and work from UK and pay 0 tax

Actually it would be the opposite - they apply to GB and not the UK - because Northern Ireland have their own regime for gambling legislation. You are still correct that the Channel Islands are a separate jurisdiction and not under the UKGC remit though.

[screenshot] "For the avoidance of doubt, it is not an offence for a UK citizen to gamble with a foreign operator, even if that operator is not licensed under the UK regime."

Ah, this old chestnut. Trotted out by many a monopoly money streamer to pretend what they are doing is legal, by intentionally blurring the lines between the player and their company.

What somebody can do in a personal capacity doesn't necessarily extend to a professional capacity - because for the above scenario you would have a UK-based business (the streaming company, operated by said streamer) promoting unlicensed (both in the context of UKGC, and in the context of CGCB) gambling to UK-based players.

Even if the grey market scenario still existed (e.g. Anjouan or Costa Rica), it would be a business potentially breaching the Gambling Act.

The real question is why a streamer (whether UK-based or not) is promoting a site to UK players that cannot accept UK players... that seems like a very worrying trap in the making.

 

[jasonuk]

As a related tangent, if you want to see how it plays out - Sorare (the NFT trading card game) was

- to which they pleaded Not Guilty, and the case will be heard in 2025.

A $4bn market cap company, lots of celebrity endorsements and investors, but clearly trying to skirt the line between free to play game, free prize draw contest, and regulated gambling product - as many video games have been doing in recent years with lootboxes and trading cards.

When a trading card game is valued in the billions, there's more going on...

I think they saw this coming as a company registered the domain bckm.top with Anjouan Gaming two months ago. BC.Game use tons of different mirror urls and this appears to be another one but this time its Anjouan Licenced. I expect they'll try to do business as usual with this but hopefully people will avoid them after all the kerfuffle.

One reason for having a license i guess would be to simply look better when sponsoring clubs like Leicester or similar things. Otherwise, people can start writing stuff like "hey that casino without a gaming license anywhere sponsors this and that, etc."

 

[YouTubeSlots]

He's clearly running low on funds and has decided to join the other tossers on promoting B.C game to UK players. Click my links!! blah blah blah its all about money money money. he hasnt missed any of you guys that comment in his streams. He needs the money, else why else would he return out of nowere with B.C game links. Just makes me laugh how dumb and naïve people really are that watch this shit.

It's also how they get the software, it used to be a "good" license (hence why Curacao casinos had their in-house stuff or pirated versions) but now-a-days it seems to be any license...

The providers took the high ground initially, until I guess they saw what the less reputable providers were making from offering their games to Curacao, and suddenly the money mattered more.

So if some random country wants to invent a gambling regulator with no experience and no oversight, guess what's they're doing... and that's a worrying future ahead. Review sites should be zero-rating Costa Rica and Anjouan licenses at this point, I doubt they will though...
