Chicken Coin is a slot game played for entertainment. Outcomes are random and no strategy changes the result. Treat any money staked as the cost of play, not as an investment.

Before starting a session, set personal limits inside the casino account:

• Deposit limit — a daily, weekly or monthly cap on how much can be added to the account.
• Loss limit — a maximum net loss after which deposits are blocked.
• Wager limit — a cap on total stakes within a defined period.
• Session time limit — an automatic logout after a set number of minutes.
• Reality checks — pop-up reminders showing elapsed time and net result.

Use only disposable income. Do not borrow funds to play, do not chase losses, and do not increase stakes to recover previous results.

Problem gambling develops gradually. The following behaviours indicate that play is no longer recreational and that professional support should be considered:

• Spending more time or money on gambling than originally planned.
• Returning the next day to win back losses (chasing).
• Borrowing money, selling possessions or missing bill payments to fund play.
• Lying to family, partners or colleagues about the extent of gambling.
• Feeling restless, anxious or irritable when not playing.
• Gambling to escape stress, low mood or other problems.
• Neglecting work, studies, relationships or personal care.
• Failed attempts to stop or cut back.

If two or more of these apply, contact one of the support organisations listed below. Self-assessment questionnaires are available free of charge from GamCare and BeGambleAware.

Licensed casinos are required to offer tools that block access to gambling for a defined period. The main options are:

• Cooling-off (time-out) — a short break of 24 hours up to 6 weeks. The account is locked and marketing communication is paused.
• Self-exclusion — a longer block of 6 months, 1 year, 5 years or permanent. The account cannot be reopened during this period.
• National self-exclusion registers — single sign-up systems covering all licensed operators in a jurisdiction. Examples include GAMSTOP (United Kingdom), ROFUS (Denmark), Spelpaus (Sweden), CRUKS (Netherlands) and OASIS (Germany).

To activate these tools, log in to the casino account, open the responsible gambling or account settings section, and follow the on-screen process. Once self-exclusion is confirmed, it cannot be reversed before the chosen period ends.

Additional protective steps include installing blocking software such as Gamban, GamBlock or BetBlocker on personal devices, and asking the bank to block gambling transactions where this feature is supported.
