How concerned should I be?

The PGSI was developed by the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction. It is the standard population screen used by national problem-gambling organizations.

Thinking about the past 12 months…

[1]Have you bet more than you could really afford to lose?
[2]Have you needed to gamble with larger amounts of money to get the same feeling of excitement?
[3]Have you gone back another day to try to win back the money you lost?
[4]Have you borrowed money or sold anything to get money to gamble?
[5]Have you felt that you might have a problem with gambling?
[6]Has gambling caused you any health problems, including stress or anxiety?
[7]Have people criticized your betting or told you that you had a gambling problem, regardless of whether or not you thought it was true?
[8]Has your gambling caused any financial problems for you or your household?
[9]Have you felt guilty about the way you gamble or what happens when you gamble?
