Responsible Play Policy

At Chicken Road, we recognise that gaming should remain an engaging and balanced form of entertainment. As part of our commitment to integrity and user well-being, this Responsible Play Policy (“Policy”) outlines how we promote safe gaming practices, support informed decisions, and discourage harmful behaviour.

1. Establishing healthy gaming habits

We encourage users to:

• Set clear limits on time and budget before engaging in any gaming activity.

• Ensure that spending does not interfere with essential living expenses or financial obligations.

• Take regular breaks from gaming sessions to maintain perspective and prevent excessive use.

• Balance gaming with other leisure activities, social interaction and offline interests.

2. Early recognition of problem indicators

To protect users and their communities, be alert to warning signs such as:

• Spending more time or money than intended, or increasing bets to chase losses.

• Neglecting responsibilities, relationships or work in favour of gaming.

• Borrowing money or hiding gaming activity from friends or family.

• Feelings of irritability, anxiety or guilt when unable to game.
  If you identify any of these patterns in yourself or someone close, it may be time to reassess your behaviour or seek professional support.

3. Understanding gaming realities & dispelling myths

We promote awareness that:

• No gaming outcome is guaranteed; previous wins do not increase future probability.

• Efforts to “recover” losses typically lead to greater risk and negative outcomes.

• Recognising gaming as entertainment — not a source of reliable income — is central to responsible behaviour.

4. Self-assessment and monitoring

We recommend that users regularly self-evaluate their gaming habits by asking:

• “Am I spending more time or money than I planned?”

• “Is my gaming affecting my work, relationships or mood?”

• “Do I feel uneasy or restless when I’m not gaming?”
  Free online self-assessment tools are available via trusted organisations in India and can help highlight when adjustments or support may be needed.

5. Support for families and affected persons

Gaming may impact broader social circles, not just the individual. We advise:

• Approaching loved ones with empathy, open dialogue and no judgement.

• Seeking guidance from recognised support-groups, counselling services and helplines in India dedicated to gaming-related issues.

• Educating family members about gaming risks, setting device-controls and maintaining healthy boundaries.

6. Safeguarding minors and under-age users

We adopt the following measures to protect young individuals:

• Strict age-verification protocols to prevent access by under-18 users.

• Encouraging parents/guardians to install parental-control software and monitor device usage.

• Providing educational resources for youth and guardians about risks associated with gaming and responsible habits.

7. Our commitment

By integrating responsible play practices into every review and article, Chicken Road ensures that our audience receives content that not only informs but also safeguards. We aim to foster a culture where gaming is performed consciously, ethically and with respect for one’s mental and financial well-being.
