Are You Playing Responsibly?

Responsible gambling helps players stay within their limits and prevents betting from turning into financial or personal strain. It gives people a clear way to track how they play and make early adjustments when something feels off. That’s why we added this test — so Canadian players can check in with themselves at any time.

Responsible Gambling Questionnaire

This Responsible Gambling Self-Test is a simple way to check in with yourself and review how you currently engage with gambling. It is based on the internationally recognized PGSI framework, which is used worldwide as a screening tool for identifying risky behavior. However, this test is not a diagnostic evaluation, and your result cannot determine whether your gambling has reached a harmful level. Only a qualified professional can make that assessment.

The test is anonymous and created for personal use, helping you understand whether certain habits may be shifting toward unhealthy patterns or a loss of control. To get the most accurate insight, please answer each question honestly and consider how these behaviors appear in your daily life. If your results raise concerns or if you feel uncertain about your gambling behavior, seeking independent advice from a trained specialist may be helpful.

Thinking about the last 12 months, have you ever placed bets that were more than you could comfortably afford to lose?
Over the past year, have you felt the need to wager larger amounts of money to experience the same level of excitement?
In the past 12 months, have you gone back to gambling on another day specifically to try to win back money you had previously lost?
During the past year, have you borrowed money or sold something to get funds to gamble?
Over the last 12 months, have you ever had the feeling that your gambling might be becoming a problem?
In the past year, has gambling led to any health-related issues for you, such as stress or anxiety?
Over the last 12 months, have other people commented on your gambling or suggested you might have a gambling problem, even if you disagreed?
In the past year, has your gambling created any financial difficulties for you or for your household?
During the last 12 months, have you felt guilty about how you gamble or about the outcomes of your gambling?

What to Do Next?

Regardless of your score, it’s important to act in your best interest. If your score was low, great — keep practicing self-control, setting clear limits on time and money, and retake this self-test from time to time to stay on track.

If your score was moderate or high, don’t wait. Talk to someone you trust about your gambling and explore support options. Below is a table of Canadian confidential helplines and resources. These services provide free support, counseling, and referrals.
