Responsible Gaming

At beauty-stash.com, we believe that gambling should always be a form of entertainment — never a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Chicken Road and similar games are designed for fun and enjoyment. The outcome of every round is determined by chance, and no strategy can guarantee a profit. Please play responsibly and within your means.

Age Verification

Gambling is strictly prohibited for individuals under the age of 18. Depending on your province or territory in Canada, the legal gambling age may be 18 or 19. Please check your local regulations before participating in any gambling activity:

• 18+: Alberta, Manitoba, Quebec
• 19+: British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador, Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut

Never provide false information about your age to access gambling services. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you care about, it may be time to seek help:

• Chasing losses — gambling more to try to win back money you have lost
• Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or loved ones
• Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose (rent, bills, food budget)
• Lying about how much time or money you spend gambling
• Feeling restless or irritable when trying to cut back or stop
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
• Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
• Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or depression
• Thinking about gambling constantly, even when not playing
• Needing to gamble with larger amounts to feel the same level of excitement

If you recognize three or more of these signs, we strongly encourage you to reach out to a support organization listed below.

Self-Help Tools

Most reputable gambling platforms offer practical tools to help you stay in control of your gambling. We encourage you to use these tools proactively:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit daily, weekly, or monthly. Once reached, further deposits are blocked until the period resets.
• Loss Limits: Define the maximum amount you are willing to lose within a set timeframe. When you hit this limit, gameplay is paused.
• Reality Checks: Enable pop-up reminders that show how long you have been playing and how much you have spent during the current session.
• Time Limits / Session Limits: Restrict the number of hours you can play per day or per week.
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily block yourself from accessing gambling services for a set period — from 24 hours to permanent exclusion.
• Cooling-Off Periods: Take a short break from gambling (e.g., 7 days, 30 days) without permanently closing your account.
• Account History & Statements: Regularly review your gambling activity to keep track of time and money spent.
