Gambling Self-Assessment

If you are concerned that gambling may have taken over your (or someone else’s) life then the following questions may help you to find out:

Do you gamble to escape from a boring or unhappy life?
When gambling and you run out of money, do you feel lost and in despair and need to gamble again as soon as possible?
Do you gamble until your last penny is gone- even the fare home or the cost of a cup of tea?
Have you ever lied to cover up the amount of money or time you have spent gambling?
Have you lost interest in your family, friends, or hobbies because of your gambling?
After losing, do you feel you must try and win back your losses as soon as possible?
Do arguments, frustrations or disappointments make you want to gamble?
Do you feel depressed or feel that you are likely to harm yourself because of your gambling?

The more you answered ‘yes’ to these questions, the more likely you are to have a serious gambling problem.

To speak to someone about this, you can contact Customer Service or there are a number of Support Organizations available to help with free and independent advice.
