Chasing feathers should stay fun — keep it that way
Chicken Heart is built for a few laughs and a bit of a rush, nothing more. If the spins start weighing on your mood, your wallet, or the people around you, step back and talk to someone today. Help lines run around the clock, and reaching out costs nothing.
Decide your spend before the first spin, and treat that number as the ceiling.
Long sessions blur judgement. Cap your play time and stick to it.
A losing round is just a losing round. Don't feed it with a bigger bet.
Stretch, grab a drink, breathe. Short breaks keep your head clear.
Be straight with yourself here. The six prompts below come from the Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI). Two or more “yes” answers are a signal to contact one of the groups listed above.
Have you bet more than you could afford to lose in the past 12 months?
Have you needed to gamble with larger amounts of money to get the same feeling of excitement?
Have you gone back another day to try to win back money you lost?
Have you borrowed money or sold anything to get money to gamble?
Have you felt that you might have a problem with gambling?
Has gambling caused you any health problems, including stress or anxiety?
None of this replaces a proper assessment. For that, ring GamCare on 0808 8020 133 or your nearest gambling helpline.
