Self-assessment
Are You Gambling Responsibly?
The following questions are a brief self-assessment tool drawn from internationally recognised responsible gambling frameworks. Honest answers can help you identify whether your gambling habits are within a healthy range or whether it may be worth seeking additional support.
If you answer "yes" to three or more of these questions, we encourage you to use ar66's responsible gambling tools or contact one of the support resources listed further down this page.
