BITSKYGAME Self-Assessment Guide

Gambling is entertainment and excitement for many, but for some, it can have negative effects and even become a serious problem affecting all aspects of life. Recognizing the signs of problem gambling is the first step toward a healthy life. The following self-assessment questions help you reflect on your gambling behavior and determine if you need to pay attention and make adjustments. Please answer honestly and openly.

Self-Assessment Questions

• Do you often spend a lot of time thinking about gambling, planning bets, or raising funds for gambling?
• Do you need to keep increasing your bet amount to get the same excitement?
• Do you feel anxious or irritable when trying to reduce or stop gambling?
• Have you repeatedly tried to control or quit gambling but failed?
• Do you gamble to escape stress or relieve negative emotions (such as anxiety, guilt, helplessness)?
• After losing, do you have a strong urge to 'chase losses'?
• Have you often hidden the amount of money gambled or lost from family or friends?
• Have you ever misappropriated, borrowed, or taken others' funds for gambling?
• Has gambling repeatedly affected your family, friendships, or work/study?
• Have you fallen into financial difficulties due to gambling and needed to borrow money or seek help?
