Gambling Addiction Test is an iPhone application developed by Inquiry Health LLC. This free educational and reference program focuses on helping individuals assess their risk level for gambling addiction.

Gambling Addiction, also known as Problem Gambling or Compulsive Gambling, is characterized as an addictive disorder in the DSM-5. To be diagnosed, an individual must exhibit at least four of the following symptoms in a 12-month period: needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money, restlessness or irritability when attempting to cut down or stop gambling, repeated unsuccessful efforts to control gambling, preoccupation with gambling, gambling when feeling distressed, chasing losses, lying to conceal involvement with gambling, jeopardizing relationships or opportunities due to gambling, and relying on others for financial relief.

The app presents users with a simple screening questionnaire to measure their level of risk for gambling addiction. Additionally, it provides information on the nature of addiction and various treatment options. It is important to note that this test is not a diagnostic tool, and a qualified healthcare professional should be consulted for a formal diagnosis. The app serves as a helpful resource for individuals who are concerned about their risk of gambling addiction.

According to a meta-analysis, approximately 1.1% of the adult population in the United States could be identified as pathological gamblers. It is crucial for individuals to seek professional help if they are worried about their risk of developing a gambling addiction.
