The Distribution of Problem Gaming Categories Using the GAS 7 Approach Cross-Tabulated Against the Distribution Using the CORE 4 Approach

	GAS 7
CORE 4	No-problem	Problem	Addicted	Sum
No-problem	2,747 (90.5)	55 (1.8)	0 (0.0)	2,802 (92.3)
Problem	51 (1.7)	148 (4.9)	0 (0.0)	199 (6.6)
Addicted	0 (0.0)	14 (0.5)	22 (0.7)	36 (1.2)
Sum	2,798 (92.1)	217 (7.1)	22 (0.7)	3,037 (100.0)

The GAS 7 approach uses all seven items, whereas the CORE 4 approach uses only items 4–7 (core criteria). Numbers in parentheses are percentages of the total sum of gamers included in the sample (n=3,037).
