Online gambling platform BC.Game has been declared bankrupt by the Court of Curaçao four months after becoming Leicester City's main shirt sponsor for the 2024/25 season, reports casinonieuws.nl.
The Court of Curaçao announced bankruptcy for Blockdance B.V. and Small House B.V., two operating companies behind the brand. Following an initially dismissed petition in early October, evidence revealed significant player fund losses between April 30 and August 10, when operational control shifted from Blockdance to Small House.
The Court highlighted both companies' failure to meet payment obligations and regulatory requirements, including Small House's non-compliance with Curaçao's licensing conditions.
Two players have filed substantial claims against BC.Game, with amounts of $1.48 million and $680,000. These funds disappeared during the transition period between Blockdance B.V. and Small House B.V.'s handover. A third claim of $10,948.50 remains disputed, with Blockdance asserting settlement through account credit.

I am unsure as to whether this will affect the players or not but it might just be worth asking for clarification from them

The bandit mentioned this in one of his videos....he said he's still gonna use em. The fact that he can afford to potentially lose a 3 grand deposit is insane haha I'm not touching them again until it's all sorted
Hey guys, just to update everyone on the rumours, this was directly from BC
An update Regarding the BC.Game "Rumours" -- To put all players minds at ease
To All Partners:
Thank you for your attention and support for BC.GAME. Below is a statement regarding the current legal issues in Curaçao:
Legal Dispute
Four players have filed lawsuits against our entities in Curaçao (Blockdance BV and Small House BV), seeking refunds. These claims lack merit and are driven by a lawyer exploiting bankruptcy laws for personal gain. We categorically deny these allegations and have ample evidence to prove their invalidity. In the initial trial, the court ruled in favor of BC.GAME. However, this was overturned on appeal due to administrative reasons, not financial issues.
Bankruptcy Ruling and Operational Status
Curaçao’s bankruptcy law does not differentiate between disputed debts and genuine insolvency. Although the company plans to appeal, we are unable to apply for a stay on the bankruptcy ruling’s enforcement. Therefore, we are cooperating with the court-appointed administrator to address the matter. It is important to emphasize that this situation does not stem from liquidity or financial problems. In fact, the company is in a very healthy financial position and fully capable of meeting all financial and contractual obligations. Currently, the company’s operations remain unaffected, and international business continues as usual.
Commitment to Partners
BC.GAME assures all partners that the company’s balance sheet is robust, with no financial issues, and we remain fully capable of fulfilling all current and future obligations. Our international business operations are running smoothly and remain unaffected.
