Chicken Road Gang is committed to promoting responsible gambling practices. While we provide information about crypto casinos and Chicken Road games, we recognize that gambling can cause harm when not approached responsibly. This page provides resources and guidance for safe gambling.
Understanding the Risks
Gambling involves risk. The casinos always have a mathematical edge, which means that over time, the average player will lose money. This is true regardless of the game, strategy, or skill level.
- The house always has an edge, even in high-RTP games
- Past results do not predict future outcomes
- No strategy can overcome the mathematical house edge
- Winning streaks end, and losing streaks happen
- The longer you play, the more likely you are to lose
Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Recognizing the warning signs early is important. Ask yourself these questions honestly:
- Do you spend more time or money gambling than you intended?
- Do you gamble to escape problems or relieve negative feelings?
- Have you tried to cut back on gambling but failed?
- Do you lie to family or friends about your gambling?
- Have you borrowed money or sold possessions to gamble?
- Do you feel restless or irritable when trying to stop gambling?
- Have you chased losses by gambling more to win back money?
- Has gambling caused problems in your relationships or work?
- Do you think about gambling constantly when doing other activities?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be developing a gambling problem. We encourage you to seek help.
Guidelines for Safe Gambling
Set a Budget
Before you start gambling, decide how much money you can afford to lose. This should be entertainment money, not rent, bills, or savings. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose completely.
Set Time Limits
Decide in advance how long you will gamble. Set a timer if needed. Take regular breaks. Extended gambling sessions increase the risk of poor decisions.
Never Chase Losses
If you lose your budget, stop. The urge to win back losses is powerful but dangerous. Chasing losses typically leads to bigger losses.
Do Not Gamble Under the Influence
Alcohol and drugs impair judgment. Never gamble when intoxicated. Make decisions with a clear mind.
Treat Gambling as Entertainment
Gambling should be fun, not a way to make money. If you are gambling to solve financial problems, you are doing it for the wrong reasons.
Use Casino Tools
Many casinos offer responsible gambling tools:
- Deposit limits to cap how much you can add
- Loss limits to stop play after certain losses
- Session time limits and reminders
- Self-exclusion options to block your account
- Cooling-off periods for temporary breaks
