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."
