Gambling carries a real risk of financial loss. Keep play balanced to protect your money and emotional health.

• On BC Game (LCC), use deposit, loss, and wager limits to keep control.
• Set a budget before you start and stick to it.
• Decide a time limit for each session.
• Do not chase losses. Accept outcomes.
• Keep betting separate from credit or loans.
• Track your activity and learn from your history.
• Take regular short breaks to reset.
• Avoid betting when tired, stressed, or under the influence.
• Only players 18+ may gamble. Follow local laws in India.
• Stop playing if it affects work, studies, or family.

Betting addiction develops over time. Watch for warning signs and act early. It is a serious condition that needs attention.

• Thinking about gambling most of the day.
• Increasing stakes to feel the same excitement.
• Chasing losses after a bad session.
