Moderate Indication of Gambling Addiction

Thanks a lot for the effort to answer it specifically. You can use the website that I attached on the OP to get your results about your gambling addiction level. But I believe you will get a moderate result considering how control your gambling activities. Good for you now.

And this is what I got when I answer it:

"Little or No Indication of Gambling Addiction"

I guess, I no longer have the urge to gamble, unlike before, wherein I would consideration myself as a gambling addict. Maybe I just matured or change my priorities in life, or really learn from my past mistakes about spending too much money on gambling.

I would like to see the results for other users as well. Not to rub it in to them, but maybe as a community we can help them, in my opinion.

This is good for newbies in gambling who have not experienced the worst losses yet. As for me, I don't think it's necessary to take the test because I have already learned from my mistakes, and I feel like a brand new gambler now. Becoming a responsible gambler isn't easy, but through learning from experience, anything is possible.

What would happen to a gambler if they took that test and found out that their addiction was high? Would they take it seriously or not? I think most of them would disregard the result because they still love to gamble.

my answer :
1. no
2. no
3. no
4. no
5. no
6. no
7. yes
8. no
9. yes

and the result

little or no indication of gambling addiction
         https://i.ibb.co/dDb6wfr/IMG-20230313-185037.jpg

since my failure at gambling before, I seem to have forgotten myself. but that all changed when i tried to stay away from everything about gambling and get married.

even though at this time I still gamble but I am more careful in planning a budget and bringing out the best for me.

The result of the survey for me is "Little or No Indication of Gambling Addiction". I remember I only answered 'yes' once, but that's the truth, so I'm happy with the result. I hope those who take the survey will be honest with themselves. Besides, this will not be published unless you choose to publish it.

It would be nice if there were more questions, but I'm okay with what I have already answered.  :)

Here’s the question for the test for easy reference, You will need to answer it on the website to see the result.
1. Do you spend lots of time thinking about gambling or planning a gambling activity? - No
2. Do you need to gamble with increasing amounts of money to feel excited? - No
3. Do you unsuccessfully try to cut back on your gambling? - No
4. Do you feel irritable or restless when you try to limit your gambling? - No
5. Do you lie to loved ones about your gambling habits? - Yes (partly to some)
6. Has gambling interfered with your work, school, or relationships? - No
7. After losing money gambling, do you often return to it with the intention to make up for the loss or break even? - No
8. Do you have to ask others to bail you out of financial troubles due to gambling? - No
9. Do you ever gamble when you feel anxious, sad, helpless or guilty? - No
 
Idk if I need help in gambling or with my eyes. I can't seem to find it, even if I do go to incognito so my extensions don't f up anything on the site. Or I'm just that dumb that I can't find it. Comparing my answers though I should be at the little to no indication level? The questions are at a pretty obvious level though, might actually produce better results if it wasn't a simple yes/no question. Granted that it's a self- assessment though I guess it makes sense why it was simplified to this level.

Probably, they won’t deal with the result seriously because they will always think that gambling addiction is still good as long as you still control your losses and you still manage your gambling activities. So they don’t have to worry at all. But when time comes that their gambling addiction has come to its worst, wherein they used up all their life savings to chase profits in gambling, that’s the time they will worry on how to control themselves from being addicted from gambling. Btw, I think I don’t have to take the test knowing I’ve never been spending most of my time in gambling, and I can still live my life even without gambling.

1. I only spend 20-30 mins a day to analyze and to bet in sports and esports matches
2. I always feel excited even I only bet small amount of money
3. I did not cut my gambling because I have self control so I'am sure that my thinking is always straight and I always have a good mindset
4. There are times that I irritable but I'm aware that it is my own fault because my psychology is not that okay. I always evaluating myself before and after gambling so I'm aware if I did a mistake or I just followed my plan.
5. No! My family and my friends are aware that I do gambling, I also share my analysis to them. They are also aware to my skill and to my gambling psychology so they are supportive to me.
6. No! I do not multitask whenever I work, I usually bet during morning where my tasks are so light. I never try to bet whenever I'm at work.
7. No, but there are some parts of me who want to recover what I lose before
8. No! That is the most dumb ways to do whenever you gamble.
9. No! Because I'm aware to the risks. I also manage my expectation so that I can never experience financial and emotional disaster even my bet turn into loss.

As you can see, most of my answers are connected to mindset, psychology and attitude. I do not gamble without a foundation because I learned from the OGs and I do not want to experienced what they experienced before. I also invested a lot of time for my attitude to be good that can help me to win some money in gambling.

I answered NO in all of the question, and I'm just being honest.
https://i.imgur.com/1GH7TU6.png

1. No. I'm only spending less than 30 minutes gambling because most of the time, I'm only gambling on sports bets. What I'm doing when I'm putting my bets is that, I'm looking both team's statistics, and a bit of analyzation then after that, I'll just watch games.
2. No. I can say that I'm a disciplined person when it comes to gambling, and I know how to limit my spending when it comes to it.
3. No.
4. No. Like I said, I can control my spending on gambling.
5. No. I'm not lying to them because they don't know that I'm doing it.
6. No. I'm making sure that, my work, my relationship with others is my priority before gambling.
7. No. When I'm losing, I already consider it as a loss and will accept it. Will not make reckless decision just to recover my losses.
8. No. I didn't ever experience having financial troubles with gambling as the main cause.
9. No. I have many ways to remove my negative feelings, and gambling isn't one of them. Playing online games is one. Going outside with other people is another. Eating food while watching videos is another.

I myself sometimes think whether I am addicted to gambling or not, maybe some of these questions will provide results or answers to what I am asking.
However, if I think back, I can still control my desire to gamble and limit the money at stake, but sometimes I also ignore the gambling management that I have made. This is what makes me confused to say I am addicted or not, maybe I will try an addiction test That's it, thanks for the offer.


https://i.imgur.com/I4CvgpB.jpg
And those are my results, but it seems my gambling addiction is not dominant and I feel quite comfortable with the results.
I think there should be more questions.

Let me answer, to what extent do I get addicted to online gambling.

1. Maybe, yes, sometimes when I see a good game, I think about it, want to continue my gambling activity on a curious game.
2. No, I have full control over the money I bet in gambling sources.
3. Of course, I managed to cut some of my gambling winnings, maybe I cut it often.
4. Definitely, yes.
5. Sometimes I have to do that, so that those I love won't be sad when I lose a bet.
6. No, I have time to organize all that.
7. Of course, even if bad luck approaches the umpteenth time.
8. No, I gamble not someone else's, so I don't need to refer to other people.
9. Never, it's very dangerous for myself, I'd rather go to the mountains or the sea to overcome it.

That is all from me.

Tried visiting the site but I can't find where to put my answer so maybe I can just post it here.

1. No
2. No
3. No
4. YES, its quiet boring sometimes.
5. YES, its better not for them to know or else they will judge me easily.
6. No
7. Yes, Tried this before, but not anymore.

I guess the result for me is moderate, since I gamble occasionally only.  

1. No, because I usually think about playing gambling when it comes to weekends
2. No, I only limit myself to no more than $20 per week, so I prefer to play with smaller stakes
3. I succeed if I want to reduce my gambling
4. Not really, because usually I've been consistent with my betting and spending limits
5. Never, because being honest with my girlfriend would make me even more scrutinized
6. No, because I only play casino on weekends and occasionally bet on big football events which are held on weekdays so it doesn't interfere with my other activities
7. After my money is spent on gambling according to my weekly limit, then I will go on a date with my girlfriend
8. There's no need, because that will only add more problems
9. Never, I play gambling when I'm feeling too late on weekends and usually gamble just for fun

If I answer the questions above, it seems that I am not indicated as a gambling addict, but maybe this can help and is also useful for other gambling addicts  ;)

1. Not so much anymore, in the past I used to think more about strategy.
2. No, I use more money because its part of my martingale strategy, not because I am feeling differently.
3. My gambling time has been pretty stable over the years.
4. No
5. No, I try to be open as much as possible with family
6. A little bit maybe
7. Yes
8. No I only use my own money
9. In the past yes, now I only play with a positive mindset

Thanks for the share.
My result: Little or No Indication of Gambling Addiction

I don't actually think about gambling the whole day, that may the reason why I got a little score when it comes to addiction. Like right now, I will only think about it because there will be a game tomorrow and I should prepare my bets so that it will all be set tomorrow.
Then after the results, another long hour of rest until the bookies post the game odds.
I have never been in a financial problem too where there is a need to be bailed out just because of it.

But like what the website suggests, this should not be a proper substitute for diagnosis. We can always lie with our answers here but in front of a specialist, we might not be able to do so.

Result is little or no addiction as well. It would have been different if I took this test a couple of years ago when I had more time to spend on playing or betting. The situation has changed a lot now and I got more busy with other stuffs so the test result is quite accurate for the time being hehe.

It wasn't long ago when a member posted his story about gambling when he felt bored or sad - I'm not sure anymore.

I'm definitely not a gambling addicted, because if I were, I would have already went bankrupt, wasting all my holdings in a desperate attempt of chasing losses. Instead, I've managed to control myself and accept the losses I faced without getting anxious, tempted or stressed to recover that money.

It's true right after the loss I felt like I could go through the wrong route, acting like an addicted gambler, but after all I overcame those feelings without further financial prejudice.

Little wonder what our losses in gambling can lead us to research or do. I once started to write an essay on gambling when I experienced a huge loss. Thank you for sharing this great resource with us. It will sure be useful for those who may be on the high end of the spectrum of gambling addiction. I find that this can also be used to test for other addictions as well.

Here’s the question for the test for easy reference, You will need to answer it on the website to see the result.
1. No
2. No
3. No
4. No
5. No
6. No
7. No
8. No
9. Yes

My result says that "Your answers suggest that there is Little or No indication that you are experiencing symptoms common among people with a gambling addiction." I learned this from watching gambling addiction suck the life out of a friend. So, I tread carefully.

Most or all of my answers is NO,  but #3 got me , it is kinda hard to stop from your limits, whether you are winning or not still you need to limit yourselves so that you will be used that no matter what happen you will not add some money to your limit or you will stop asap. Also for the last question #9 it is very bad idea to gamble when you are sad or lonely it will not help you to ease your emotion.

these surveys are good, but a person who is addicted to gambling will not answer these questions honestly and sincerely, for an addicted person he is fine, he does not see that he is not fine. In my case I don't need to answer these questions for the following reasons:

1 - I don't bet a lot of money on gambling
2 - I have good bankroll management
3 - I always use my strategy and I don't deviate from it, that is, when I lose money I don't chase losses

I'm not saying that my strategy is very good, but at least my strategy keeps me playing and having fun with games of chance and with my self control 100% functional. for an addicted person he constantly plays the same games and has nothing else to do in his life, he makes big bets like 1000$, my stakes never even reached 100$ in a single game, I always keep as low as possible in each game and per week I bet less than 10 games and I don't even spend more than 1 hour analyzing the games I bet on, of course I spend many hours watching games but I really like fun

1.  No I don't spend lots of time thinking or planning about my gambling activity.  I take it as it come and play accordingly.
2.  Not really, I have a fix bankroll whenever I Play, I know losing control on financial aspect in gambling will drawn us and exhaust us of our money.
3.  No, when I plan to reduce my bankroll I do it.
4.  No, I feel fine.
5.  Sometimes when it is needed but most of the time, I told them about my activity.
6.  No.  I only gamble when I am free.
7.  No, I know chasing losses will make us lose more.
8.  No, I borrow money for another reason and not because I lost my funds on gambling
9.  No, I'd rather lie on my bed staring at the ceiling when I feel anxious, sad or helpless to reflect on the solution.

The result stated:

Looking at others reply, I guess that I've already the idea on what result I'll get and having those questions. I'd for sure gonna fall to little or no indication of gambling addiction.   :D

This is a good measurement for those that have results that indicates their gambling addiction. It'll give them the idea on what they should control and the system will tell them that they're already addicted because even if some friends or random person online tells them that they are, they wouldn't believe.

Yep, that's the spirit when I was in that time chasing losses but that's it after that I never chase again but instead I change my strategy and thus, calling it a day. But now, I rarely gamble due to my busy schedule and I like it this way I'm never bothered to think what should I do in order to win next time.

So far, so good I will probably gonna get a result of less likely to have a gambling problem of I would try to answer those questions. lol

If they don't experience worse losses yet, it could mean these gamblers are still in control of their selves. If they take the test, the result that they could get are likely negative. For us veterans on this field, we already take one of these before because from our long time of gambling, we already tried to experience a heavy losses and we have doubts from our selves that what if we are an addict already?

If you feel that gambling is life, you will not take the test because you won't still not stop even if you found out that you are positive from the signs of gambling addictions. Only those who will take it are concerned about their selves.

I don't feel like users need to do a test to realize if they are addicted to gambling or not. It's like any other addiction, you know if you have it or not. And if you are not sure, then just look at your habits with that activity in the past few days.

I really enjoy gambling, and I play almost every day, and I never lose more than what I can afford to lose, but I don't consider myself a gambling addict. I stop when I want and I like to walk away from the casinos each time I hit a nice prize.

This quiz only takes binary (yes or no) data so it's definitely not valid IMO. At least, a scoring method with the 4 Likert scale (with the neutral option removed) should be more accurate. You can answer, no, sometimes, often, and always. Anyways, I know it's just a light quiz for fun so doesn't have to be serious :P

For sure my result is "Little or No Indication of Gambling Addiction" since I was "forced" to say no.

I am not really certain whether or not such a simple test is enough to give you results on whether or not you have a gambling addiction and if yes, how severe of an addiction it is.

Seems like one of those fake IQ tests you can take that you found on some facebook post. Its not very scientific, that is to say.

A gambling addiction is very alike to a drug addiction from the perspective of your brain's neurochemistry. A dopamine abuse will leave physical signs which only a doctor could conclusively diagnose.

The best thing to do is if you suspect that you MIGHT have a gambling addiction, no matter how severe, you should definitely cut down on the gambling, at least for a while until your brain chemistry resets.

I tried it, and I answered purely according to what I believed. the result, "Slight Indications of Gambling Addiction" to be honest, this question is a common question. thus, this test does not refer to absolute results. anyway, in the link you shared, after I filled out the test. they say, your answer shows a mild indication that you experience common symptoms among people who are addicted to gambling. however, this quiz is not a substitute for a proper diagnosis from a health care professional.

So, in conclusion. To be honest, I don't mind if I am declared a gambling addict. because, as a matter of fact, I love sports betting. in particular, football. however, I have rules of the game as a betting foundation that I do. most importantly, as we all agreed. everything returns to the self-control we have.
Regarding this test, this quiz is only a simplified result, not the result of an exact diagnosis from an expert. yes, just to try anyway it's okay.

Still it is a good thing to check and answer the question if a person is gambling at least once a week to know his gambling addiction resistance and know the factors to check if ever he wanted to be on guard against gambling addiction.  


Obviously, those who gamble for fun will definitely enjoy gambling but those who gamble for profit will be frustrated if they fail to meet their goal.

---

My answer on the 9 questions is:

1. Yes/ not always but sometimes
2. No
3. Yes
4. No
5. Yes
6. No
7. No
8. No
9. No

I got "Little or No Indication of Gambling Addiction". I thought i would be at least mild case but i think that investing into crypto is flling a lots of my gambling needs these days. As it's hard to crash zero doing that and it lasts longer then my weekly slots fund.

I am not sure if i was completely honest to myself on that test and maybe my closest friends would see my answers differently, but i tried to be honest and i still rather believe that i have a mild addiction that's under control at the moment then live in denial and not do anything to control my addiction because it's little.

Most of choices are "NO" but still ending up on having Moderate Indication of Gambling Addiction!  :D

I agree into some words above that being honest is sometimes its really hard.There are indeed questions could really be answered neither Yes or No.LOL
In general, i do play when i do get bored which means i do seek for leisure but there are times which greeds do activates. hehe

1. No.
2. I don't gamble more with a lot of money.
3. I managed to reduce my gambling during this time.
4. I don't feel upset or anxious when I try to limit my gambling and I don't even feel anything when I limit my gambling.
5. I am not lying about my gambling habits.
6. Gambling does not interfere with my life at all.
7. After losing money gambling, I would not go back for a while and never thought about making up for the loss or breaking even because it must not have been easy for me.

Most probably there were no gambling addicts around here, because those people were too busy thinking about their gambling habits rather than answering these questions lol.
Sometimes we tend to avoid the questions to the things which are obvious and we deny it as we thought it's still under our control, just like how a lot of people got addicted with cigarettes and liquor.
However, these test are pretty basic but a good early indicator of such addiction.

My result is also 'little to no gambling addiction' which I didn't need a test to find out. But I imagine that if many of us get the same result, it is partly because most people gamble responsibly and partly because perhaps those who have problems with gambling are more reluctant to take the test.

Here’s the question for the test for easy reference, You will need to answer it on the website to see the result.
1. Do you spend lots of time thinking about gambling or planning a gambling activity? - No
2. Do you need to gamble with increasing amounts of money to feel excited? - No
3. Do you unsuccessfully try to cut back on your gambling? - No
4. Do you feel irritable or restless when you try to limit your gambling? - No
5. Do you lie to loved ones about your gambling habits? - [/b] Sometimes I do depending on who's asking[/b]
6. Has gambling interfered with your work, school, or relationships? - No
7. After losing money gambling, do you often return to it with the intention to make up for the loss or break even? - I have always tried to avoid doing that
8. Do you have to ask others to bail you out of financial troubles due to gambling? - No
9. Do you ever gamble when you feel anxious, sad, helpless or guilty? - Yes

I guess my addiction is pretty low.

I didn't take a screenshot of the assessment results, but the conclusion is Little or No Indication of Gambling Addiction and hope it's accurate.
However, the question remains whether this test is accurate enough to predict if someone is addicted to gambling or not, and whatever the results of this test are, we know best whether we are in the addiction category or not. If you are addicted, it would be better to seek help immediately before it becomes too late and it will be increasingly difficult to escape.
Gambling should be done with full awareness so that it will not cause addiction.

does this mean that if you're at the losing end again, you'll go on another 1year break to get yourself right??
While taking a break is necessary, I do not think it should be as consistent as you make it plus, try mastering your bets to avoid loses.

I can't upload the screenshot, but result shows that I have little or no gambling addiction.
Everything was in the negative except for the fact that I usually gamble to cover up for a lost gamble.
I try to curtail unnecessary waste of finances but I can't cut gambling, understanding that gambling is not a win-win but a win lose, I'll not feel bad at a lose instead try to cover it up.

The thing is.... people with a gambling addiction or any addiction cannot be helped, until they acknowledge that they have a problem. A test like this will be ineffective if they do not answer these questions truthfully.

Also, some people "ignore" their gambling problem, even if it is thrown in their face. They find several excuses for their behavior and tell people that it is just harmless fun, while Rome is burning around them.

Enjoy the test and be 100% truthful with you answers.  ;)

yes of course this will work with honesty and all people who feel themselves as active gamblers don't ever test this if you don't want to be honest because with honesty of course this test will work, if you get bad test results from this site at least they can find someone to be able to change the mindset to gamble wisely and responsibly in the future.

A. not totally but sometimes when I have sideline and has money to earn before that? then yeah spending time what gambling and how much may i win.
A. nope , I am not (thanks God then)
A. No I'm not , i can cut my gambling playing.
A. Nope.
A. Yeah I did sometimes (Sorry for that)
A. also Sometimes Interfered my Work and Relationship.
A. I keep looking for recovery each time.

those are the only part that I think answerable by me.

We are all addicts... when we do things we like we need to be addicted, more or less. I believe most of us play comfortably, but I agree that there's some greediness in each of us, and it turns on more or less often. Moments of heat and passion... and not-so-rational thinking.

In the end, I think that it all comes down to the simple question, can you afford to spend money on gambling? Those who can afford to play & lose will gamble for fun and entertainment, and those who risk what they can afford to lose will face consequences, sooner or later.

1.The creator of this test must put some "trick questions" because many gamblers would lie when doing such tests.
A "trick question" is a question whose answers might contradict with the answers of other questions, so that the survey creators might find out which gamblers is lying and which one tells the truth.
2.Answering the questions with yes and no isn't enough for an accurate measurement of the gambling addiction.
Many polls have questions, in which the survey participants have to evaluate their answers from 1 to 5.
Like "How likely are doing to a casino, after you have lost a big amount of money?" and the users have to pick a number from 1 to 5.
Anyway, creating such test is a great idea.

1. Yes when I entered gambling section but didn't understand very well here. There was no one to explain it to me. I have spent time on my own and gained experience here.
2. No
3. Yes. When I failed at gambling, I felt bad about myself and told myself not to gamble anymore.
4. Yes
5. No
6. No
7. Yes
8. No
9. Yes

1.No, i don't really spend much time on gambling activities.  I spend about 25 to 30 minutes.
2. No.
3. No
4. No, I don't feel restless each time i try to cut back on gambling.
5. Yes I have lied like twice but not anymore.
6. Yes it has for once.
7. No.
8. No. Have never asked anyone to bail me because of gambling.
9. No. I don't gamble whenever am sad.
 
Most time when I feel like gambling is taking too much from me both in time and money i usually give it a break.

Gambling Addiction Test - if you have opened this topic, congrats, you are already addicted :D

I have passed the test and got "Little or No Indication of Gambling Addiction". Even though it is said that I am not addicted, it does not say that there is no chance I wont become one one day. Personally, I think I am addicted, but I have other interests or hobbies, or I simply dont have much time to gamble, so my addiction isnt highly pronounced.

No, I often gamble for three hours.


Not yet, because I gamble because all I want is to win and I don't care if I lose.


I was able to overcome my gambling without leading me to have an addiction to it.


I don't get irritated because I know how to limit and control myself when gambling in the casino.


No, my husband even knows this, but he only knows how much to lose and whether to win and still.


No, it's only because of your time management that how you handle it correctly.

It's my habit that when I lose and my bet runs out, I stop immediately and come back when I have more gambling money.

No, because I have never experienced such a situation and it will not happen to me for sure.


No, because I'm gambling knowing I'm ready.

Just planning a activity on what games I would like to play for the day but I don't spend 3 hours or above since I think this is sort of abusing myself if I do so.

Sometimes yes since the thrilling part betting above on what you plan is somehow satisfying.

Yes out of frustration before.

Not at because limiting yourself is part of discipline and that could avoid you to get addicted on the game.


Gamblers are lier so most of us do this to avoid unnecessary talks towards what we currently enjoy.

So far no gambling fun is temporary.


Yes, its good to have aim but don't play aggressively because you will get nothing or maybe have more higher chance to lose your money again.

Nope can't afford to get bad impressions if my friend or relative knows that I'm struggling because of this casino matters(but luckily this is not yet happening to me).



No, That's bad condition to play because its hard to focus when you are distracted on some issues in life.

That was a good one, so I appreciate the OP for sharing this test. It's an initial test for those who feels like they are prone to being a gambling addict but in case you badly need help, this ain't the solution.
I tried the test and most of my answers was a no because that's the truth. It's not like I am near the point where I would be arrested for so many loans or dragging other people from my hobby. And I don't really bet too many anymore unlike in the past where I dice almost the whole day.
The test was also a bit short, I am expecting some questions that will be hard to answer but it ain't there.

I think these days many ignore the signs and think they can just snap out of it when they have not even acknowledged the problem, when the solution to solve a problem starts with acceptance.

Thank for the share, I did take the test and it suggests it's not a diagnosis tool nor can it be taken to be accurate (though they haven't admitted this).

Thinking about a gaming or match activity, Yes because of some of the competitions am involved in both on and off site but not gambling related.

There is no thrill in that, besides smartest and profitable gamblers know how to manage risk and when to stop.


Unsuccessful no, It's all about self control no matter they edge to gamble and this comes with time.

No ways, patience is the name of the game something I have learnt from trading forex.

How or when is this considered a lie when you aren't asked about it???

Once when I was receiving a prize but this is a fan activity that doesn't come between my productive times.

I don't chase my loses because I know losses are part of the game and the sooner you know this the more likely you won't lose more money than expected.

My gambling habits never come to this extent.

Gambling is not my feel better activity especially that this is a source of unhealthy dopamine, better going to the gym than this....

I got the same result and I feel it's because of how questions have been structured especially with the yes or no answers.

1. No, I just do it whenever have a vacant time and available funds.
2. No, I always make sure to control my emotions and just allocate enough budget for gambling.
3. No, it was never a problem
4. No, as much as possible, I discipline myself and I don't let my emotions control me.
5. No, my partner is aware of it and I have no plans of hiding my habit.
6. No, I focus on what's more important.
7. No, once I lose it I don't chase it.
8. I don't think that will happen in the future but in case, I think I will be needing to seek help from my closest family member.
9. Yes, I have done this before just to feel entertained especially when I'm alone.

b]Here’s the question for the test for easy reference, You will need to answer it on the website to see the result.[/b]
1. Do you spend lots of time thinking about gambling or planning a gambling activity? Yes
2. Do you need to gamble with increasing amounts of money to feel excited? No
3. Do you unsuccessfully try to cut back on your gambling?  No
4. Do you feel irritable or restless when you try to limit your gambling? No
5. Do you lie to loved ones about your gambling habits? No
6. Has gambling interfered with your work, school, or relationships? Yes
7. After losing money gambling, do you often return to it with the intention to make up for the loss or break even? No

BTW, My personal result is Mild Indication of Gambling Addiction.
8. Do you have to ask others to bail you out of financial troubles due to gambling? No
9. Do you ever gamble when you feel anxious, sad, helpless or guilty? No

Actually, this test is just to show us some weaknesses which an addicted gambler has,because all these questions are pointing to addiction. An addicted person will display such character, since he or she is being trapped down by his/her emotion

This a good test but let us tell ourselves the truth, people who are neck deep in gambling, I mean people who are gambling addicts know within themselves that the level to which they
are addicted even without taking the test. Even if they claim not to know, their family and friends would have cautioned them about it and the how itis impacting on their lives and wellbeing directly and indirectly.
One question that I think should be on the list is "My family and friends have told me to quit gambling."

C'mon man exactly what I wanted to say upon my first view of this topic, I mean every gambler knows within if he habits are getting out of control and for certain most addicts will always tell themselves massive lies on their gambling addition problems, i don't know for sure but I feel an adiction in gambling is always on self denial for the person involved, I could remember when I had similar problems with gambling, I mean I always knew deep down in me that my habits were getting out of hand but the issue was , was I self prepared to stop this act because I believe you are the only one who can stop this act. Unfortunately for me I had to take the vital decision that was needed in my habits towards gambling and I would say it has truly helped me.

"Little or No Indication of Gambling Addiction"

This is what I got from the test. I believe that's true for my case since I do not seek gambling any time of the day. I think it could be worse if I had continuously won in gambling and felt that profit from gambling, you know? The hook, but I failed and have a little sense of it, TBH.

Check yourself and be honest about what you are going through. In that way, you will be okay.

I did it and here was my results:

Little or No Indication of Gambling Addiction

“Your answers suggest that there is Little or No indication that you are experiencing symptoms common among people with a gambling addiction. However, this quiz is no substitute for a proper diagnosis from a health care professional, and we would encourage you to schedule an appointment with your doctor or other mental health professional if you are concerned about your gambling.”

I only gamble for entertainment so it seems accurate enough to me.

No real test is indicative of gambling addiction, I think I've used this test a while ago, and had asked a few of my friends who mind you, are poker players planning to go professional, just for laughs. Turns out we also had mild indication of a gambling addiction even though we really track our bets and never let a dime slip away unnoticed, as well as keeping our emotional state in check to make sure we're level-headed when we're playing. I know this could still be a good gauge of how bad do you think you have gone in the world of gambling addiction, but for me the ultimate giveaway that you may have been addicted with gambling already is if you're already asking yourself/second guessing yourself. "Am I addicted to gambling?" or "Am I already addicted to gambling?" Once you start asking yourself these questions, you know something is awry.

I guess I am not that much addicted but when I lose, somehow in my mind, I try to get back what I have lost. That's what can't get me out of this. I have a good self-control while gambling, but when I lose, I can't do it properly. That urge to get back what I have lost is a real pain in the ass when you are gambling. Other than that, everything works out great if I can plan it beforehand.

I did not take this test because I think that this website under the guise of testing collects people's emails and their interests. Therefore, those who received the results of the test to the e-mail after some time may begin to receive promotional mailings. I don't trust this website.

Also, I did not like that this test uses direct questions about gambling. Even at the stage of answering the questions, each of us understand our level of gambling addiction beforehand.

Planning gambling is one form of addiction that you already have to gambling. I had the same problem, but now those feelings no longer drive me to gamble more.

After all, you shouldn't gamble to chase losses, that is the least recommended thing to do when you lose. Recovering losses after you lose will increase other losses even though in some cases it is not always the same between one gambler and another. But if you're gambling for fun, then I don't think there's any reason for you to recover your losses.

With one answer of yours being YES, you already show signs of either Mild or Not and it won't have a difference if you don't fight back.
You wouldn't be taking the test if you have no doubts about yourself having gambling problems. Taking the test means you could answer at least one Yes to it.

There is no number for specialists to call on the page of your test result though. I was thinking of psychologist's number all around as ads after the test.

I think that's somehow normal for gamblers like us mate, surely nobody would want to think that they are just donating those funds to the platform without taking any chance to at least retrieve some of those funds that has been lost. But maybe, you should not try and force it, just do some regular bets and this time, try to take a much less risks bets that you think has more chances and do not chase those odds because chances are, you cannot think it clearly because those odds are tempting you. A win is a win and worth to celebrate with.

I am not an addicted gambler and this test is for a reminder to let gamblers see the habit which is attached a an addicted gambler. Some persons does all this questions that was asked in the test and I wonder why will someone allow gambling to control their lifestyle.

My result from the test shows that I am a disciplined gambler who sees gambling as fun and not as a means of making profit. Greed causes addiction and addiction leads to great loss.
