Responsible Gaming

Last updated: March 18, 2026

Sidekick Intelligence LLC (DBA Chikoh) is committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. While Chikoh is an analytics and intelligence platform — not a sportsbook, casino, or gambling operator — we recognize that some of our tools and features relate to activities where responsible behavior is essential.

1. Our Position

Chikoh is a companion platform for fantasy sports, entertainment predictions, and sports analytics. We provide AI-powered recommendations, projections, and analytical tools. We do not:

  • Accept wagers or bets of any kind
  • Operate a sportsbook, casino, or gambling service
  • Process entry fees for contests or competitions
  • Distribute prizes or winnings
  • Facilitate peer-to-peer wagering

However, some of our analytics tools (line movement analysis, DFS lineup optimization, sharp money indicators) are designed to inform decisions related to daily fantasy sports and sports betting on third-party platforms. We take this responsibility seriously.

2. Age Requirements

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater) to use Chikoh. Access to gambling-adjacent tools (those behind our sports whitelist) may require additional age verification in certain jurisdictions. See our Jurisdiction Restrictions page for details.

3. Recognizing Problem Gaming

Gaming and fantasy sports should be entertaining. If gaming is no longer fun or is causing stress in your life, it may be time to seek help. Warning signs of problem gaming include:

  • Spending more time or money on gaming than you can afford
  • Neglecting work, school, family, or other responsibilities
  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gaming
  • Chasing losses or increasing stakes to recapture previous excitement
  • Lying about gaming activities or hiding them from others
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gaming
  • Using gaming as an escape from problems or negative emotions
  • Failed attempts to cut back or stop gaming

4. Tools and Controls

We believe in empowering our users to manage their own experience. Chikoh provides:

  • Account self-exclusion: You may request temporary or permanent self-exclusion from gambling-adjacent features by contacting [email protected]. During self-exclusion, sports-whitelist tools will be disabled on your account.
  • Spending visibility: Your billing dashboard shows a complete history of all charges, ticket usage, and subscription costs, so you can monitor your spending.
  • Auto-reload controls: If you use ticket auto-reload, you can set a monthly spend cap and disable auto-reload at any time.
  • Session reminders: Extended sessions may trigger a reminder to take a break.

5. Self-Assessment

If you are concerned about your gaming habits, a self-assessment can help you determine whether you may benefit from additional support. The National Council on Problem Gambling offers a confidential self-assessment tool:

NCPG Problem Gambling Self-Assessment

6. Support Resources

If you or someone you know needs help with problem gambling, the following organizations provide free, confidential support:

7. Tips for Healthy Gaming

  • Set a budget before you start and stick to it
  • Set time limits and take regular breaks
  • Never chase losses — accept that losing is part of the game
  • Do not game when upset, stressed, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Keep gaming as entertainment, not a source of income
  • Balance gaming with other activities, relationships, and responsibilities
  • Never borrow money to fund gaming activities

8. Advertising and Marketing

Chikoh is committed to responsible advertising practices. We do not:

  • Target marketing of gambling-adjacent features to minors
  • Suggest that gaming is a way to solve financial problems
  • Imply guaranteed outcomes from using our analytical tools
  • Promote excessive or irresponsible gaming behavior

9. Employee and Contractor Training

Our team members who work on gambling-adjacent features receive training on responsible gaming principles, recognizing signs of problem gambling, and directing users to appropriate resources.
