Moderate Risk

Your answers indicate that your gambling activities put you at moderate risk for developing what we call problem gambling.  This means you may have experienced problems from gambling that have led to negative consequences.  Everyone experiences gambling problems differently.  For some people, their gambling activity affects only their finances, while for others gambling behaviors can affect their relationships and even their mental health.  It is important to know that you are not alone in your experience, and that there are steps you can take today to reduce the problems associated with your gambling activities.

To read real stories of people who have experienced problems from gambling, read the e-book, “The Faces of Problem Gambling.”
