The Betting History sections of the Personal Account contain the history of previous bets, withdrawals and deposits, as well as the current balance. There are several filters that allow for a more detailed search. It is possible to find out what the bets were on, when they were made and how much was bet exactly, winnings and losses.

Self-Control
We understand that gambling addiction has a devastating effect not only on the bettors themselves, but also on their family and friends.
These situations are very difficult to deal with.
A key is to provide support and to give bettors additional options for getting help when bettors are ready to consider them.
Asking for Help section offers a list of leading organizations that provide direct help to people with gambling addictions.
As for those close to wager participants – victims of the gambling addiction – that want to help, BC recommends visiting the website of Gam-Anon, an organization that specializes in providing help and support in such situations: www.gamanon.org.uk.
The self-test questions are listed below.
The bettor can use them to assess whether he/she spends a lot of time and money on gambling.
- Have you ever been criticized for gambling?
- Have you ever lied to hide the amount of money or time you spent gambling?
- Do various quarrels, frustrations, or disappointments make you want to play?
- Do you play alone for long periods of time?
- Do you skip work because of gambling?
- Do you play to distract yourself from a boring life or to escape your depressed state?
- Do you spend “gambling money” on other necessities with reluctance?
- Have you lost interest in your family, friends, or hobbies because of gambling?
- When you lose, are you tempted to get even as quickly as possible?
- When you play and run out of money, do you feel frustrated and desperate and the urge to play again?
- Do you play until you lose your last penny?
- Have you cheated, stolen, or borrowed money just to have money to play or pay gambling debts?
- Are you depressed or anxious because of your gambling addiction?
If the bettor answered yes to at least two of the questions above, he/ she is encouraged to consider contacting one of the following organizations in the Asking for Help section to discuss his/her situation.
All these organizations guarantee complete confidentiality.
It is recommended that you use the five tips below to play more responsibly:
- Play only if you find it enjoyable.
- Think of the money you lose as a payment for the entertainment and see losses as an integral part of the gameplay.
- Don’t play just to get even.
- Set limits for yourself in terms of money and/or time allotted to the game, and stick to these limits.
- Don’t borrow money for gambling.

UNDERAGE POLICY
If the bettor is under 18, he/she should not attempt to sign up on this BC website.
BC is a socially responsible gambling operator and has a strategy of restricting access to such games for persons under 18. BC conducts checks on wager participants, so if a bettor registers a gambling account on the website, BC has a right to request the documents proving his/her age and identity.
- The bettor’s goal is to guess the result of sports events or other public events offered in the line.
- According to the chosen version of the event outcome and the established rules, the bettor makes a bet.
- The terms of bet acceptance (odds, handicaps, totals, restrictions on the maximum and minimum bet amount, etc.) can be changed at any time, while the terms of previously made bets remain unchanged.
- BC reserves the right to refuse to accept a bet from any person without explanation.
- In case of errors made by the BC personnel when accepting bets (obvious typos in the offered list of events, inconsistency of odds in the line and bet, etc.), in case of evidence of unsportsmanlike struggle, a departure from these rules when accepting bets, as well as other arguments that confirm incorrectness of bets, BC reserves the right to declare bets on such terms invalid. The payout for these bets is made at odds of 1.
- Any bet made by the bettor is a confirmation that the bettor knows these Rules and agrees with them.
- In no event shall BC be liable to the bettor for any indirect, incidental or consequential losses or damages (including lost profits), even if the bettor has not been notified of the possibility of such losses or damages.
- Internet connection failure when the bettor receives confirmation of their bet is not a reason for its cancellation.
- Only the results of events announced by BC serve as a basis for calculation of rates and establishment of winnings. The claims associated with the events outcomes will be considered only coupled with the official documents of the respective sports federations.
- If there is a suspicion that a bettor is committing fraudulent actions against BC (a multi-account, bets made by third parties, the use of betting automation software, betting on arbitrage cases, bets made in order to exceed the BC limits, a game account not used for betting, the abuse of loyalty programs, etc.), BC reserves the right to stop such fraudulent actions by: cancelling bets; closing the bettor’s account without refunds; contacting the law enforcement authorities upon the fact of fraudulent actions committed by such bettor.
- BC does not accept any complaints about disputes on transliteration (translation from foreign languages) of team names, player names, places of competitions. All information given in the tournament title is of auxiliary reference nature. Possible errors in this information do not constitute the grounds for bets return.
- All sports events will be considered postponed or cancelled only if there is information from official documents of the organizations conducting the sports competitions, official websites of sports federations, websites of sports clubs and other sources of sports information, and based on these data the sports events specified in the line shall be adjusted.
- If the amendments are introduced into these Rules, the clients shall be notified through appropriate announcements. Bets accepted starting from the date specified in the announcement are subject to the amended Rules. The terms of previously made bets remain unchanged.
- The bettor confirms that he/she is familiar with these Rules and all appendices hereto, which are an integral part of these Rules, and agrees with them.
