"PGSI score 0 - Representing a person who gambles (including heavily) but does not report experiencing any of the 9 symptoms or adverse consequences asked about.
PGSI score 1 to 2 - Representing low-risk gambling by which a person is unlikely to have experienced any adverse consequences from gambling but may be at risk if they are heavily involved in gambling.
PGSI score 3 to 7 - Representing moderate-risk gambling by which a person may or may not have experienced any adverse consequences from gambling but may be at risk if they are heavily involved in gambling.
PGSI score 8 or more - Representing problem gambling by which a person will have experienced adverse consequences from gambling and may have lost control of their behaviour. Involvement in gambling can be at any level, but it is likely to be heavy."
