Gambling Issues

Risk Assessment

Assessing where you are now can help you make informed decisions on what to do next. It's a little like going on a diet and working out your starting weight. Are you ready to get the facts?

This self-assessment is known as the Canadian Problem Gambling Index. It is a tool based on research on the common signs and consequences of problematic gambling. Take the test now and find out your profile.

Thinking over the last 12 months...

1. Have you bet more than you could really afford to lose?

 

2. Still thinking about the last 12 months, have you needed to gamble with larger amounts to get the same feeling of excitement?

 

3. When you gambled, did you go back another day to try to win back the money you lost?

 

4. Have you borrowed money or sold anything to get money to gamble?

 

5. Have you felt you might have a problem with gambling?

 

6. Has gambling caused you any health problems, including stess or anxiety?

 

7. Have people criticised your betting or told you that you had a gambling problem, regardless of whether or not you thought it was true?

 

8. Has your gambling caused any financial problems for you or your household?

 

9. Have you felt guilty about the way you gamble or what happens when you gamble?
