Addicted to gambling

Black Jack Tisch
Am I a compulsive gambler?
Compulsive gambling, or gambling addiction, is a serious problem. It often starts out harmlessly enough: you go out with friends and play a few rounds on a machine or place bets in a betting shop. But for some, what started out as a pleasant diversion turns into a dangerous obsession at some point. A staggering 40,000 compulsive gamblers live in Vienna alone. Do you suspect you may be one of them? Take the test and find out! The self-test below is used by many organisations to find out about gambling addiction. If your answer to one or more of the test questions is YES, it may mean that your gambling has already reached a dangerous level.

Quite honestly …

Have you at some point spent more money on gambling than you can actually afford?
Have you been gambling for a long time and do you have the feeling you cannot stop?
Are there days when you think of nothing but gambling?  
Have you tried to win back lost money the next day (chasing losses)?
Have you borrowed money or sold something in order to be able to continue gambling?
Do you feel like a loser when you gamble away money?
Has somebody told you that you should stop gambling?
Do you have financial worries because of gambling?
Do other people have money problems because of your gambling?
Is gambling stressful for you?
Do you gamble when other things in your life stress you out?

Don’t be afraid!

Have you answered YES to more than one question? You are not alone in this. Below are some contacts all over Austria where you can ask for help if you have a gambling problem.
