eCOGRA Survery of Online Gamblers Underway

5 September 2006

eCOGRA, the independent standards authority of the online gaming industry, is conducting the largest online gambling survey ever commissioned among the poker and casino playing communities.

Since announcing its intentions a few months ago, eCOGRA has received a massive amount of interest from both media and players alike. The survey is now live at www.ecogra.org/playersurvey.

The survey – a joint venture between eCOGRA, University of Nevada and Nottingham Trent University, aims to capture the responses of 20,000 players from around the world. In addition, the findings will be supplemented with qualitative focus groups, due to be held within six of the industry's major markets.

Designed to capture information about the behavior and attitudes of online gamblers, the survey results are expected to provide an invaluable understanding and insight into their needs and concerns. This information is vital to eCOGRA's ability to continue to offer a rewarding and safe online gambling experience.
