Responsible Gaming

Introduction

Gambling should always be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Chicken Road is designed to be an enjoyable game, but it is essential to play responsibly. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose, and never chase losses as a strategy to win back money. If gambling stops being fun, it is time to take a break.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years old, or the legal gambling age in your province or territory (which is 19 in some parts of Canada, such as Ontario and British Columbia), to play Chicken Road. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful. We encourage parents and guardians to use filtering software to prevent minors from accessing gambling content.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. If you or someone you know exhibits any of the following signs, it may indicate a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses: increasing bets or playing longer to try to win back money lost.
• Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or employers.
• Borrowing money, selling possessions, or using funds meant for essentials to gamble.
• Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling.
• Feeling anxious, guilty, irritable, or depressed after gambling.
• Repeated unsuccessful attempts to cut down or stop gambling.
• Lying about time or money spent gambling.

Self-Help Tools

Responsible gambling platforms offer a range of tools to help you stay in control. While specific features may vary, the following are common tools you should look for:

• Deposit limits: set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, week, or month.
• Loss limits: cap the total amount you are willing to lose over a set period.
• Reality checks: periodic reminders that show how long you have been playing.
• Session time limits: restrict the length of each gambling session.
• Self-exclusion: temporarily or permanently block yourself from accessing the platform.
• Account cool-off periods: take a short break from gambling for a defined time.

Use these tools proactively, even if you do not think you have a problem, to keep gambling as a form of entertainment.
