Responsible Gaming

Gambling should always be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The outcome of games like Chicken Road is based on chance, and no strategy can guarantee winnings. Set a budget you can afford to lose, and never chase losses. If gambling stops being fun, take a break and reach out for support.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years old to gamble, or the legal age required by your local jurisdiction in Canada (which may be 19 in some provinces, such as British Columbia, Ontario, and others). It is illegal for anyone under the legal age to create an account or participate in gambling activities. We encourage parents and guardians to use filtering software to prevent underage access to gambling sites.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. Ask yourself if you have experienced any of the following:

• Chasing losses — gambling more to try to win back money you have lost
• Hiding gambling activity from family or friends
• Lying about how much time or money you spend gambling
• Feeling restless or irritable when trying to cut down or stop
• Gambling with money needed for rent, bills, or other essentials
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
• Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities because of gambling
• Feeling guilty or ashamed after gambling
• Gambling to escape from stress, anxiety, or depression
• Repeatedly trying to stop or reduce gambling without success

If you recognize several of these signs in yourself or a loved one, it may be time to seek help.

Self-Help Tools

Most reputable gambling platforms offer tools to help you stay in control. We encourage you to use the following features where available:

• Deposit limits — set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, week, or month
• Loss limits — cap the amount you can lose over a set period
• Reality checks — receive pop-up reminders showing how long you have been playing and how much you have spent
• Time-out periods — take a short break from gambling for 24 hours, a week, or longer
• Self-exclusion — block access to your account for a set period or permanently
• Session time limits — restrict how long you can play in one sitting

These tools are designed to support responsible play, but they are not a substitute for professional help if you are struggling.
