Some surprises in eCOGRA online gambling survey results

After months of work around the world, what is arguably the biggest survey yet of online player attitudes and opinions is due to be presented at the International Casino Exhibition in London at a media conference scheduled for the 23 January.

The Global Online Gambler Report was devised by leading gambling research teams at Nottingham Trent University supported by the University of Nevada (Las Vegas), and features views gleaned from the US, UK, Asia, Canada, Germany and Sweden.

The report covers areas such as online poker rooms and casinos, player protection and preferences, use of information portals, game favourites, responsible gambling and luck, with almost 11 000 people in a number of countries taking part in both qualitative focus group and general response research projects.

eCOGRA CEO Andrew Beveridge said this week: ""Early indications are that there will be some surprises in the report. We think it will be very revealing for both industry insiders and a wider public."
