Responsible Gambling

At ChickenRoadMasters, we are dedicated to delivering fun, exciting, and fast-paced gameplay. But just as important as entertainment is ensuring that all players enjoy their gaming experience responsibly. Whether you’re here to test your luck or enjoy a few casual rounds, we want to make sure you stay safe, informed, and in control.

What Does It Mean to Gamble Responsibly?

Responsible gambling means making informed choices and maintaining control over your gameplay. It’s about playing for entertainment — not for financial gain or emotional relief. Follow these essential principles to keep your experience balanced and enjoyable:

Smart Habits Before You Start

• Set a strict budget and never exceed it.
• Choose a time limit and stick to it — use timers or alarms.
• Make sure you understand the game mechanics and odds before playing.
• Always ask yourself: “Am I playing for fun?”

Financial Responsibility

• Only gamble with disposable income, never money meant for rent, food, or bills.
• Avoid the temptation to chase your losses — this usually leads to bigger problems.
• Track your deposits and time spent on each session.
• Never consider gambling as a way to repay debts or cover expenses.

Emotional Control

• Don’t gamble when you’re angry, stressed, lonely, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Avoid using gambling as a coping mechanism for life’s problems.
• Take frequent breaks between rounds to clear your head.
• Keep gambling in its place — it should never interfere with your daily routine, relationships, or responsibilities.

Use Built-In Safety Tools

• Use deposit and loss limits to stay within your comfort zone.
• Try cool-off periods or self-exclusion if you feel your gambling is getting out of hand.
• Many platforms offer tools to help you manage play — use them proactively.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you’re unsure whether your gaming habits are healthy, ask yourself the following questions:

• Do you often spend more time or money than you intended?
• Do you gamble to escape boredom, stress, or sadness?
• Do you feel restless or irritable when trying to cut back on gambling?
• Have you ever lied to friends or family about your gambling habits?
• Have you borrowed or sold things to fund your gameplay?
• Do you find it difficult to stop after a win or loss?
• Are you gambling even when it negatively affects your work or relationships?
• Have others criticized your gambling or suggested you take a break?
• Have you lost interest in hobbies or socializing due to gambling?
• Do you feel depressed or hopeless because of gambling?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, it’s time to pause and seek support.
