Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Leisure Travel Shoppe, we believe that online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Gaming outcomes are based on chance, and the house always has a mathematical advantage. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
BC Game is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older, or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher. In India, players must be at least 18 years old to participate. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and reserve the right to verify your identity at any time.
Parents and Guardians: If you are concerned about a minor's access to gaming sites, we encourage you to use internet filtering software and parental controls.
