Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Chicken Road, we believe that gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose. Remember: the house always has an edge, and outcomes are determined by chance.
Age Verification
Gaming is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older, or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction in India. By accessing our platform, you confirm that you meet this age requirement and are legally permitted to participate in gaming activities in your region.
If you are underage, please do not proceed. We take age verification seriously and comply with all applicable Indian laws and regulations.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be aware of these warning signs:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Gambling with money intended for bills, rent, food, or other necessities
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount of time or money spent
- Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
- Neglecting family, friends, work, or educational responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay off gambling debts
- Gambling for longer periods or with larger amounts than intended
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Experiencing financial difficulties or debt related to gambling
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, seek help immediately.
