The “Brief Bio-social Gambling Screen” (BBGS), is a
screening tool that consists of only three questions
for identifying gambling problems:
1. During the past 12 months, have you become restless, irritable or
anxious when trying to stop/cut down on gambling?
2. During the past 12 months, have you tried to keep your family or
friends from knowing how much you gambled?
3. During the past 12 months, did you have such financial trouble that
you had to get help from family or friends?
