Your Player Profile - Compulsive Gambling

It's important to evaluate your habits and behaviour to ensure that the game remains a game. This test, however, is not intended to diagnose a pathological gambling problem. Rather, it should be used as an evaluation tool designed to maintain or develop healthy habits in connection with games of chance and gambling.
