How is your gambling, really?

Answer honestly about the last 12 months. This is the PGSI — the screen used by researchers and clinics worldwide. It is educational, not a diagnosis.

Over the last 12 months, how often have you… (0 never · 1 sometimes · 2 most of the time · 3 almost always)

1. Bet more than you could really afford to lose?
2. Needed to gamble with larger amounts to get the same feeling of excitement?
3. Gone back another day to try to win back money you lost?
4. Borrowed money or sold anything to get money to gamble?
5. Felt that you might have a problem with gambling?
6. Had gambling cause you any health problems, including stress or anxiety?
7. Had people criticise your betting or tell you that you had a gambling problem?
8. Had gambling cause any financial problems for you or your household?
9. Felt guilty about the way you gamble or what happens when you gamble?
Answer all nine to see your result.

Why 12 months?

The PGSI asks about the last year because gambling harm builds over time, not in a single session. If a lot has changed recently, retake it in a month and watch the trend — that direction of travel matters more than any one score.
