Responsible Gambling at Chicken Pirate AU

At chickenpirate-au.com, we believe gaming should always be fun, safe, and under control. Responsible gambling means making sure you enjoy our games as entertainment - not as a way to make money or escape problems. We're committed to promoting balance, awareness, and the right tools to help you stay in charge every step of the way.

Healthy Gaming Habits

Responsible play starts with small, steady habits. Before you begin, set clear limits on both your time and spending. Never gamble with money you can't afford to lose, and avoid playing when you're tired, upset, or under pressure. Take regular breaks and treat gaming as just one part of your free time - not the centre of it. Balance your sessions with outdoor activities, social time, or other hobbies you love.

Recognising the Warning Signs

Understanding when play becomes risky is essential. Some early signs of problem gambling include:

  • Spending more than you planned or chasing losses.

  • Ignoring responsibilities or lying about how much you gamble.

  • Feeling anxious, angry, or restless when not playing.

  • Borrowing money or using savings meant for essentials.

If you notice any of these signs in yourself or someone close, it may be time to seek support. Acting early helps you regain control and enjoy gaming again the right way.

Common Myths About Gambling

There are plenty of misconceptions about gambling - and believing them can lead to risky choices.

  • Myth: "I'm due for a win soon."
    Fact: Each round is completely random; past results don't affect future outcomes.

  • Myth: "I can win back what I've lost."
    Fact: Chasing losses often makes things worse.

  • Myth: "Some players just have lucky streaks."
    Fact: Luck is never predictable - it's part of the game, not a strategy.

Understanding how games truly work helps you stay grounded and make better decisions.

Self-Assessment Tools

Checking in with yourself is one of the best ways to maintain control. Ask yourself:

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

  • Is gambling affecting my work, studies, or relationships?

  • Do I feel stressed or guilty when I play?

If the answer to any of these is yes, take a break and reach out for advice. Australian players can access free online self-assessment tools via:

  • Gambling Help Online

  • Lifeline Australia - 13 11 14

  • Relationships Australia

These services offer confidential support and professional guidance at no cost.
