There are several Chess rules related to this question.

First, no number of consecutive checks automatically creates a checkmate.

Second, there is only one limit to the length of a game without a checkmate, called the 50-move rule. You could put your opponent in check 49 times without a checkmate, but on the 50th move (assuming there has been no pawn move or capture) the game is a stalemate (a draw).

Third, many checkmates occur the very first time the enemy king is placed in check.

Fourth, there is a rule called "perpetual check". If you can show that no matter what your opponent does, you can again put him in check every move, you can call a stalemate (draw). This is a useful rule if you have a big disadvantage but the enemy king is exposed.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

1, a checkmate ends the game. However, there can be an infinite number of checks.
