Responsible Gaming
Guidelines for safe, healthy, and enjoyable gaming experiences
Online gaming is for adults only. You must be 18 years or older to use BDG Game.
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
BDG Game is committed to promoting responsible gaming practices among all users. Gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a source of financial stress or emotional distress. We encourage all players to approach gaming with awareness and self-control.
Safe Gaming Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to maintain a healthy relationship with online gaming:
Set a Budget
Decide how much you can afford to spend before you start playing. Only use money you can afford to lose. Never borrow money or use essential funds for gaming.
Set Time Limits
Allocate specific times for gaming and stick to them. Don't let gaming interfere with work, family, or other responsibilities. Take regular breaks during gaming sessions.
Don't Chase Losses
Accept that losing is part of gaming. Never increase your bets to recover losses. If you've reached your budget, stop playing regardless of outcome.
Stay Balanced
Maintain other hobbies and activities. Don't let gaming become your only source of entertainment or social interaction. Keep gaming in perspective.
Recognizing Problem Gaming
Gaming may be becoming problematic if you experience any of these signs:
- Spending more money on gaming than you can afford
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gaming
- Neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities
- Feeling restless or irritable when not gaming
- Gaming to escape problems or relieve negative feelings
- Lying to others about how much you game or spend
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gaming
- Continuing to game despite negative consequences
- Chasing losses with bigger or more frequent bets
- Feeling anxious or depressed related to gaming outcomes
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself, it may be time to seek support.
Self-Assessment Questions
Ask yourself these questions honestly:
- Do I spend more time or money on gaming than I originally planned?
- Do I feel guilty or ashamed about my gaming habits?
- Do I hide my gaming activity from family or friends?
- Has gaming caused problems in my relationships?
- Do I think about gaming even when doing other activities?
- Have I tried to stop gaming but couldn't?
If you answered "yes" to several questions, consider speaking with a professional counselor.
Tips for Staying in Control
Keep Records
Track your gaming activity, including time spent and money deposited/withdrawn. Reviewing this data helps you stay aware of your habits.
Take Breaks
Step away from gaming regularly. Use the time to engage in other activities, exercise, or spend time with loved ones.
Avoid Gaming Under Influence
Don't play when under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Impaired judgment leads to poor decisions and excessive spending.
Talk to Someone
Share your gaming habits with a trusted friend or family member. Having accountability helps maintain healthy boundaries.
Remember: It's Entertainment
Treat gaming as a form of entertainment, not a way to make money. The money spent is the cost of entertainment, not an investment.
Protecting Minors
Online gaming is strictly for adults. To protect minors:
- Never allow anyone under 18 to use your gaming account
- Keep your login credentials secure and private
- Use parental control software on shared devices
- Educate young people about the risks of online gaming
- Supervise device usage by minors
