BC.Game Partners with UFC Fighter Colby Covington

BC.Game has partnered with UFC fighter Colby Covington to launch a new charity initiative aimed at supporting local communities.

The collaboration kicked off with a street charity event in Miami, where Covington distributed food and water to individuals experiencing homelessness. As BC.Game's brand ambassador, Covington emphasised the importance of direct action, stating: "I believe in taking action when it comes to making a difference. It's not about talking, but about showing up and helping out when people need it most."

More charity events are planned for the coming months, with a continued focus on providing aid where it is most needed. Covington is set to play an active role in these initiatives, helping to raise awareness and offer direct support.

This latest development comes amid a series of legal and regulatory challenges for BC.Game, including an appeal against legal rulings in Curaçao and the recent withdrawal of its Curaçao gaming licence. Despite these challenges, the company has reassured stakeholders of its financial stability and commitment to international compliance.

At the same time, BC.Game continues to maintain its gaming operations and partnerships, including its collaboration with Leicester City Football Club.

However, the initiative raises an important question: Why do casinos engage in such charitable acts? It feels oddly reminiscent of tobacco companies funding cancer treatment—if you're concerned about the well-being of society, why operate a casino in the first place? If the goal is truly to do good, why not open cafeterias for the poor instead of a gambling platform?

In any case, BC.Game is one of the rare casinos that doesn't lower the RTP for players, so credit is due where it's deserved. But financing charity events while running a gambling business is an ironic and rather amusing contradiction.
