BC.GAME Introduces VIP Transfer Programme
BC.GAME has introduced a VIP Transfer programme aimed at high-value players migrating from other platforms. The initiative pairs First-Week Lossback—BC.GAME’s first-week downside protection on net losses—with immediate access to BC.GAME’s VIP benefits. Lossback is delivered in the player’s account currency plus an additional grant in $BC, with tiered caps linked to first-deposit size; high-tier totals can reach up to 70%, subject to terms and review.
What’s different
BC.GAME delivers a two-track experience: tangible downside protection in week one via First-Week Lossback, and ongoing VIP treatment thereafter.
Rules at a glance
• New users only: Available exclusively to first-time BC.GAME accounts.
• Referral code required: Enter BCVIPTRANSFER during registration to qualify.
• Compliance: Provide proof of VIP status from another platform and complete KYC. Availability depends on jurisdiction.
• Anti-abuse: Multiple accounts, falsified documents, or arbitrage may result in disqualification and forfeiture of benefits.
How First-Week Lossback works
• Window: A continuous 7×24 hours starting on the day of first deposit.
• Basis: Calculated on net losses within that window (losses after wins).
• Payout format: Lossback in account currency + an additional grant in $BC.
• Tiering: Caps vary by first-deposit size; high-tier totals can reach up to 70%. Specific ranges, eligible games, settlement timing and caps follow the official terms and individual account review.
BC.GAME Head of Affiliates said: “Players shouldn’t have to start from zero when they switch. First-Week Lossback gives real downside protection in week one, and VIP Transfer delivers immediate VIP status, then keeps the value flowing week after week.”
After week one: standard VIP programme (long-term value)
After the first week, players transition into BC.GAME’s regular VIP & loyalty framework (separate from the week-one protection). Typical benefits include:
Weekly/Monthly cashback and reload/weekly bonuses (by tier);
Dedicated VIP host and tailored rewards, plus at higher tiers faster or higher-limit withdrawals and other elevated limits.
All benefits, thresholds, and frequencies are tier-dependent and governed by the official programme terms.

Spinomenal reigns supreme with Majestic Odin
Leading iGaming content provider Spinomenal is welcoming players to ascend to Valhalla with its latest mythology-inspired slot, Majestic Odin. The game joins Spinomenal’s hugely popular Demi Gods series.
Majestic Odin is set against a breathtaking Nordic landscape of towering mountains, deep fjords, and glowing torches that frame the game with mythic grandeur. Medium symbols include an embossed golden ring, battle-worn shield, the all-seeing raven and iconic drinking horn.
The stunning visuals are brought to life by a deep, powerful soundtrack that pulsates with pounding drums and ethereal vocals, immersing players in Odin’s world.
Players who discover three Valhalla symbols will trigger the Free Spins game. Before beginning Free Games, players must spin the Wheel of Fortune to determine the free spins total, between 10 and 40, and the symbol to be doubled.
Three golden Yggdrasil symbols launch the Bonus feature in Majestic Odin. Players start with three spins, and the mission is completing the metre by collecting Scattered winning symbols. Five Scattered symbols will complete one cell in the metre. Extra spins can be earned with the +1 symbol and once the spins end the final total is paid out calculated by the final filled metre cell.
The all-powerful Odin himself represents the Wild symbol in Majestic Odin, standing tall with his golden crown and staff of power. The Wild substitutes for all symbols except Double Symbols, Free Spins, and Bonus icons. Landing five Wilds on a winning line pays an impressive x200, delivering thunderous returns.
Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “Majestic Odin will certainly capture players’ imaginations with its powerful blend of Norse mythology, immersive features, and thrilling win potential. The visuals and soundtrack create a truly epic atmosphere — we’re confident this release will deliver outstanding engagement.”
