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.
