Gambling Addiction Screening

Having clarity about a possible gambling problem is helpful since we are often unsure if we have one. Sometimes, others think we have a problem, and we disagree or don’t know.

For a deeper understanding of gambling addiction and to help you recognize if you have a gambling problem, read our article, “Do I Have a Gambling Problem?” and discover the telltale signs of compulsive gambling.

This research-supported gambling quiz below can provide clarity for you. The online assessment takes just a few minutes, is completely anonymous, and can be completed any time.

For the best results, think about the past year and answer the questions honestly. At the end, you will receive feedback on your results. Then, you can decide whether you want to reach out to us about your gambling by providing contact information.
