A certification model for gambling

Know the game.
Know if now's the time.

Two short, anonymous checks — one on whether you understand how the games are built to win, one on whether gambling is a safe idea for you right now. Neither is a diagnosis. Together they take about fifteen minutes.

Why two, not one

A single test can't measure both things at once. Someone can recite the house edge perfectly and still be at real risk; someone else can be cautious by temperament and know almost nothing about how the games are designed to win. One knowledge quiz screens the wrong people either way — so GamCert splits the question into two tracks, scored separately, rather than one pass/fail gate.

Track 1 — Risk & vulnerability

The Honest Answer

An anonymous, validated screening questionnaire (PGSI + Lie/Bet) — 11 questions. Tells you whether gambling looks safe for you right now, in plain bands: Clear, Elevated, High. Not a diagnosis.

~5 minutes · self-report, no right answers

Track 2 — Competence & cynicism

The Cynicism Test

Sixteen non-trivial multiple-choice questions on odds, house edge, the tactics used on you, and the rules of the road. One answer per question, no redo. Clear the bar with no weak category and you're issued a certificate.

Both tracks are screening and education tools, not medical or clinical instruments. If anything in either result concerns you, a real conversation with a professional or a helpline is worth more than another self-check — Track 1 lists a few to start with.
