Your Play Behaviour

One way to keep your play fun is to evaluate your play on a regular basis to ensure that gambling is a positive experience for you.

 

Positive Play Quiz

The Positive Play Quiz offers you the opportunity to learn more about your gambling and provides some tips on ways to play positively. Anyone can take the Positive Play Quiz – the quiz is anonymous, quick to take and gives instant feedback on how your score compares to other players. The Positive Play Quiz aims to promote healthy and happy gambling behaviours so that gambling can always be fun!

 

Learn More About Your Play

To keep your play positive, we encourage you to be aware of the following common gambling concerns:

  • Spending more time and money than intended
  • Hiding the extent of gambling activity from family and friends
  • Feeling guilt or remorse about gambling
  • After losing, having the urge to return as soon as possible to win back losses
  • Arguing about gambling with friends and family
  • Borrowing money or selling assets to gamble
  • Considering illegal means of obtaining money to gamble
  • Missing work in order to gamble

If you have questions or concerns about your play, we encourage you to take the Canadian Problem Gambling Index (CPGI) self-assessment tool.

These self-assessment tools are not intended to diagnose problem gambling but can be helpful in identifying high-risk behavior.
