To answer your former question, the correct phrase is "Is it worthwhile?" To answer your second question, you can rephrase as, "You broke all your relationships with your family due to gambling. Do you think it was worth it?"

Your 1st sentence has worthwhile but it solely depends upon the way a sentence is said and the 2nd method means worth it

Is it worthwhile? is correct as it is being followed by the act and the question is asked for the confirmation of the content.
