Responsible Gaming
Gambling as Entertainment
Gambling on Chicken Road or any other casino game should be viewed as a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always play with money you can afford to lose, and never chase losses. The outcome of every game is based on chance, and no strategy guarantees a win.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older to gamble in Canada, or meet the legal age required by your province or territory (19 in British Columbia, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador, Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut; 18 in Alberta and Quebec for lottery and some other forms). It is your responsibility to verify and comply with the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction before playing.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. You may be at risk if you answer yes to one or more of the following:
- Chasing losses by returning to gamble more to win back money
- Hiding your gambling activity or lying to family and friends about time or money spent
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or other negative emotions
- Feeling guilty, ashamed, or depressed after gambling
- Making repeated, unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop
- Spending more money or time gambling than you intended
Self-Help Tools
Most licensed online casinos offer practical tools to help you stay in control. We encourage you to use them:
- Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much you can deposit.
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount of money you are willing to lose in a given period.
- Reality Checks: Receive on-screen reminders about how long you have been playing.
- Time-Out / Cooling-Off Periods: Temporarily suspend your account for a set period.
- Self-Exclusion: Exclude yourself from gambling sites for a longer term, typically from 6 months up to 5 years or permanently.
