Are you at risk for bet regret?

That’s the question the Michigan Gaming Control Board would like to help you find out.

The MGCB is now offering an interactive quiz to help identify problem gambling. The quiz is part of their latest Responsible Gambling campaign, “Don’t Regret The Bet.

What is the MGCB Don’t Regret The Bet Quiz?

The quiz is 10 statements where you answer “yes” or “no” based on how it applies to you.

Here are the 10 statements provided:

  • A friend or loved one has expressed concern about my gambling.
  • I’ve sold something, borrowed, or taken money to gamble or make up for gambling losses.
  • When I cut back or stop gambling, I feel restless or irritable.
  • When I’m feeling bad, gambling is a welcome distraction and can make me feel better.
  • I’ve hidden how much I gamble from others.
  • When I lose money gambling, I return to win it back later.
  • I think about gambling a lot, plan my next bet, or relive gambling stories by telling them to others.
  • I’ve been wagering larger amounts of money to keep it fun and exciting.
  • Gambling has negatively affected my relationships.
  • I’ve tried to cut back or quit gambling but haven’t been successful.
