Could I have a gambling problem?
Many people gamble occasionally. When gambling becomes hard to control or causes financial or relationship harm, support can help. This page offers a free educational screening — not a diagnosis.
Common signs of problematic gambling
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to feel excitement
- Restlessness or irritability when trying to cut down
- Repeated unsuccessful efforts to stop or control gambling
- Preoccupation with gambling or planning the next session
- Gambling when feeling distressed or to escape problems
- Lying about gambling or chasing losses with more betting
Could gambling be affecting your life?
This screening supports reflection only. A qualified professional or specialized gambling support service can help.
