Responsible Gaming

Keep the coop calm and the play in check

Read This First

Chicken Coin is a farmyard bit of fun, not a way to earn. Real-money play carries risk, and a small habit can grow like a flock left unchecked. If the reels start thinning your budget or souring your mood, close the gate and reach out. Support lines run day and night, and leaning on them is nothing to be sheepish about.

Warning Signs Around the Coop

A quiet farm can get loud fast. Match yourself honestly to the points below.

  • Spending more money than you can afford to lose
  • Neglecting work, family, or other responsibilities
  • Chasing losses by gambling more
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
  • Lying about gambling habits
  • Feeling anxious or depressed about gambling
  • Being unable to stop or reduce gambling

Habits for Healthy Play

Set the Feed Budget

Spend only coins you can lose, then shut the barn.

Time Your Visits

A clear limit keeps one session from taking the whole day.

Don't Chase the Flock

A losing run won't come home through bigger bets, so let it be.

Step Out to the Yard

Regular breaks clear your head and keep it fun.

A Quick Honesty Check

No one's watching, so answer straight. Based on the Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI), landing on “yes” for two or more is a sign to contact one of the organizations above.

1

Have you bet more than you could afford to lose in the past 12 months?

2

Have you needed to gamble with larger amounts of money to get the same feeling of excitement?

3

Have you gone back another day to try to win back money you lost?

4

Have you borrowed money or sold anything to get money to gamble?

5

Have you felt that you might have a problem with gambling?

6

Has gambling caused you any health problems, including stress or anxiety?
