Problem Gambling Severity Index

The Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI) is a brief, 9-item, self-report measure of problematic gambling behaviours in the general population (Ferris & Wynne, 2001). The PGSI is able to identify different subgroups of problem gamblers with different levels of risk status (none, low, moderate, and problematic).

The Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI) is a reliable and standardised measure of at-risk behaviour in problem gambling. Take the test truthfully and see if your gambling is a problem here.

Score:

0-2 - Low Risk Problem Gambler

3-7 - Moderate Risk Problem Gambler
