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.
Little or No Indication of Gambling Addiction.
Topic: Gambling Addiction Test (Read 339 times)
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 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.
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.

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.
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.

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 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.

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.

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. 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.

Gambling is not my feel better activity especially that this is a source of unhealthy dopamine, better going to the gym than this.... BTW, My personal result is Mild Indication of Gambling Addiction.
I got the same result and I feel it's because of how questions have been structured especially with the yes or no answers.
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.

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