Is there a problem? Questions for gamblers

In the past 12 months:

  • Have you felt concerned about your gambling?
  • Have you spent more money or time on gambling than you could afford?
  • Have you felt guilty about the way you gamble or about what happens when you gamble?
  • Have you felt the need to bet more and more money?
  • When you were gambling, did you feel that you had to persist until you won?
  • Have you tried to win back your losses by gambling more?
  • Has your gambling caused any financial problems for you or your household?
  • Have you borrowed money or sold anything to get money to gamble?
  • Have you lied to people important to you about how much you gamble?
  • Have you claimed to be winning money when you were not?
  • Have people criticized your gambling?
  • Have you had money arguments that centered on gambling?
  • Have you gambled to cope with loneliness, depression, stress or other negative feelings?
  • Has gambling caused you any health problems, including stress or anxiety?

If you answered "yes" to one or more of these questions, you may want to look take a closer look at your gambling. The more "yes" answers, the more you should be concerned.
