BC.Game Review Philippines

BC.Game review – Is it a good crypto bookmaker for Filipinos?

Although crypto bookmakers are a relatively new concept, BC.Game has been around since 2017, so you could say it’s the ‘OG’ of cryptocurrency bookies. As such, it has built up an excellent reputation for itself. So much so that we thought we would give it a try and see what all the fuss was about.

Remember: the welcome offer is available on your first four deposits.

It really is that simple. As mentioned, you will have to verify some more details, like your name and address, when making a deposit, but creating your account doesn’t come much easier than this.

Locations besides the Philippines

Although there are some prohibited countries that BC.Game does not cater for, there aren’t many. As this is an offshore platform, it can reach a wider audience. And because you can deposit via cryptocurrencies, you won’t have any banking restrictions if gambling is not allowed in your region. They also offer support in 20 different languages, which includes English, Indonesian, Filipino (yes!), French, Chinese, German and others.

Security and license info

BC.Game is a fully licensed platform and is therefore safe to use. They currently hold a license with the Gaming Control Board in Curaçao. While they don’t have the same strict laws and regulations of the UKGC, they are seen as trustworthy from the international betting community and, so, offer some important reassurances to Filipino players.

However, as the website uses blockchain technology for both transactions and gaming, you can rest assured that your personal and financial data is safe. Not only that, the games that you play will all be fair, transparent and tested by independent auditors.

Deposits and withdrawals

If you’re a fan of using cryptocurrencies then BC.Game could be the platform for you, similar to Coins.Game, which is a crypto bookie. If you’re not, then it probably isn’t, as they don’t currently accept any other payment methods.

If you use Visa, Mastercard or others such as GCash or PayMaya, then here is a list of possible alternatives you should consider (otherwise, you won’t be able to deposit and bet):

• Bet365
• 22bet
• 1xBet
• Cloudbet.

Deposit options

You can make deposits using ten different cryptocurrencies and the good thing is there is no minimum deposit amount. So, you could potentially deposit only 5 PHP if you like to. The cryptocurrencies accepted are:

• Avalanche
• Bitcoin
• BSC
• Cardano
• Dogecoin
• Ethereum 
• Polkadot
• Ripple 
• Solana
• Tron.

Withdrawal options

All of the withdrawal options are the same and you could have your winnings in your crypto wallet within the hour! Usually, it’s even quicker, but this depends on the blockchain transaction speed.

The website states that the process takes up to 24 hours but the average time we waited was around four hours. The minimum withdrawal amount is $12 no matter what cryptocurrency you’re using, which is a tad over the industry average but not by much.

Sportsbook – what sports are covered by BC.Game?

The sportsbook is a little cluttered and it could be a bit overwhelming for new users, especially if you haven’t used a sportsbook before. However, the 44 different sports categories to bet on more than make up for that. This is one of the largest sportsbooks we have ever come across.

You can bet on all major sports such as basketball (including PBA and NBA odds), football, tennis, baseball, ice hockey, boxing and more. They also offer a large selection of niche sports to bet on like bandy, nascar racing, surfing and waterpolo. You can also wager on many different virtual sports too.

If you like your sports to be the electronic kind, BC.Game should be the platform for you. They have 25 eSports categories and some of the top games include FIFA, NBA 2K, League of Legends, Dota 2 and Counter-Strike.

Lastly, they have a good racebook section which covers horse racing, greyhound racing and harness racing. We were impressed with the number of countries featured in their racebook. We were able to bet on races in South Africa, Japan, Ireland, the UK and the US among others.

Markets

Although BC.Game offers a wide variety of sports to bet on, the number of markets available within those sports is limited and less than many of their competitors. For example, most sportsbooks offer over 100 markets on English Premier League matches, whereas BC.Game averages around 80. This is still a decent amount, but you can get better.

The lines themselves are pretty decent and they do offer bet builder options on most popular sporting events. The player prop bets on top US sports were fairly good too. Again, there wasn’t a high volume of markets but the variety was making up for it.

Odds

The odds offered by BC.Game were generally slightly lower than the industry averages. We checked all the latest rounds of English Premier League fixtures, NBA games, NFL Playoff matchups and more and the result was the same across the board. We’re talking very marginally and given the large volume of sports you can bet on, we’re willing to overlook this.

Live betting

The live betting section is easy to find and as big as you would expect to find given how large this sportsbook is. You can pretty much bet on all the same categories in-play, as you can on the pre-events list. The odds are updated quickly and top sporting events come with a cool game tracker feature. This has lots of information and stats to help you make informed in-play betting decisions.

Although the downside is that you won’t be able to stream many live sporting events. But there is a decent selection of eSports competitions you can watch.

Casino section at BC.Game

The Casino section at BC.Game is much like the sportsbook… BIG! But where the sportsbook lacks in quality in certain areas, the casino certainly doesn’t. That’s because it’s jam-packed with thousands of quality titles that it would simply be impossible to get bored.

The lobby is designed well and it’s easy to navigate your way around. The casino also has a cool ‘latest round tracker’ so you can see which games are hot right now. You can play slots, table games, game shows and more. Most of these all come with live dealer options too. You will also find a section that is dedicated to BC Originals. These games cannot be played anywhere else in the world apart from on the BC.Game platform. This means that they can truly offer you a unique gaming experience.

Some of the best games we came across when playing included the following:

• BCGame Baccarat 
• Crazy Time
• Vegas Rush
• Balloon Race Live
• Tanked
• Lightning Storm Live
• BCGame Blackjack.

BC.Game online betting experience under the “microscope”

This BC.Game review wouldn’t be complete without discussing the online betting experience. Here’s what you need to know.

Website experience

The website is a little cluttered and it feels like BC.Game is trying to throw too much at you at once. They are obviously proud of their large sportsbook and casino offers and they want to show it all off on the homepage. Aside from that the dark black background and grey text did make it hard to find things at times. However, after using the website for around ten minutes, you soon get used to it.

Mobile betting and betting app

BC.Game does not have a dedicated app, however the platform is fully optimised to be used on your smaller screens. All of the games we tested (and there were a lot of them) adjusted to the size of various smartphones that we used and we had no functionality issues.

You can do everything you would on your smartphone that you can on your PC or laptop. This includes registering, banking, contacting customer support, placing bets and playing casino games.

Customer Service 

The live support function at BC.Game is excellent and the staff members that we talked to (in various languages) were all knowledgeable and polite. We contacted them asking a variety of questions on bonuses, transactions and more and each time our query was answered or resolved in quick fashion.

BC.Game review summary

BC.Game want to be your go-to destination for sports betting, casino play and more, and to a certain degree, they achieve that. It’s certainly hard for any sportsbook or casino to match or better the large variety they offer. However, there are a few areas they can improve in. The main issues come back to the design and layout of the platform which could confuse new players.

In saying that, there is nothing confusing about the amazing welcome offer they will receive when they join. And the bonuses keep on coming too. They provide excellent customer support, fast payouts and an excellent mobile experience. Overall, barring a few minor niggles, BC.Game is a platform that we would highly recommend using, especially if you want to use cryptocurrencies.
