Thank you for taking the Problem Gambling Self-Assessment.

Take it again.

If you answered ‘yes’ to three or more of the questions, you may be experiencing gambling problems, or be at risk for experiencing gambling problems.

While this self-assessment has been offered as a guide, only a health care professional can determine if you have a gambling problem, another issue, or both.

Please consider the following resources available to Massachusetts residents.
