Playing at online casinos and online gambling in general should be fun. But if you find yourself not having as much fun as you once did or know someone who gambles and may have a problem, answer a questionnaire to gauge gambling behavior. After completing the Problem Gambling Questionnaire, total your answers and reference the explanation.
About the Questions
This questionnaire isn’t meant to diagnose you or tell you who you are. It’s simply a tool to help you notice patterns that can be hard to see when you’re in the middle of stress, habit, or financial pressure.
Many people who gamble, casually or frequently will answer “yes” to a few of the questions. That’s normal. What matters more is how gambling fits into your life, how it makes you feel, and whether it’s starting to take up more space than you want it to.
The questions focus on things like:
- Whether gambling has started affecting your sleep, mood, or stress levels
- Whether you’ve ever felt remorse, worry, or a sense of losing control
- Whether gambling has caused financial strain or made you feel stuck
- Whether it’s impacting relationships, work, or your sense of stability
- Whether you’ve tried to cut back but found it difficult
- Whether gambling feels like a way to escape stress, loneliness, or pressure
These aren’t accusations — they’re gentle prompts meant to help you reflect on your own experience.
What it means if several questions feel familiar
If you find yourself answering “yes” to more than a few items, it doesn’t mean something is “wrong” with you. It means you might be dealing with stress, pressure, or emotional weight that gambling has become tangled up with.
Many people reach this point quietly, without realizing how gradually things changed. Noticing it is a sign of strength, not failure.
If you’re feeling concerned
You don’t have to figure everything out alone. Talking with someone you trust — a friend, family member, or a mental‑health professional — can make a huge difference. Even a short conversation can help you feel less isolated and more grounded.
If gambling has started to feel overwhelming, reaching out for support is a healthy, courageous step. You deserve care, stability, and peace of mind.
