About this self-check
What is the PGSI?
The Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI) is a nine-question screening tool developed by Ferris and Wynne in 2001 and used by health bodies worldwide. It gives a quick indication of gambling-related risk, it is a screen, not a clinical diagnosis.
Are my answers private?
Completely. The questionnaire runs entirely in your browser. We do not record your answers, ask for your name, or send anything to a server. When you close the page, your answers are gone.
What should I do with my result?
A low score is reassuring but still a good prompt to set limits. A moderate or high score is a signal to take action, set deposit limits, take a break, or talk to a free, confidential helpline. Your result links straight to support.
Can I take it for someone else?
The PGSI is designed for the person who gambles to answer about themselves. If you're worried about someone else, our guide for families is a better starting point, and helplines support concerned relatives directly.
