I discover this site few weeks ago after I experience a devastating lose before. Personally I don’t know if it’s really accurate or not but there’s no harm on doing self assessment especially if you are already doubting on your gambling habits status.

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.

[Slow death]

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

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.   

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.

[Oceat]

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.

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

[jostorres]

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.

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.

[seoincorporation]

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.

[mu_enrico]

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

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

[goldkingcoiner]

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.

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.

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.  

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.

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.

[Fatunad]

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

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

[traderethereum]

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.

[Oasisman]

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.

[Don Pedro Dinero]

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.

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.

I started to gamble in 2014. I quit gambling for a year, in September 2019 and started to gamble again in September 2020. I lost and I stopped gambling again until the beginning of 2021 when I know that I have control over it.

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.
