Internet gambling survey - draw to win Apple Ipod Touch!

[JainieD]

Apologies if you are not interested in this or you consider it to be spam - I am not entirely sure what is considered acceptable for this forum.

I am posting to ask forum members if they would take part in a short survey about Internet gambling in the UK. The survey asks a series of questions about Internet gambling activity and how it changes over time. It takes about 15 minutes to complete and completed entries are entered into a prize draw for an Apple Ipod touch.

To take part, you need to be over 18, live in the UK and gamble on the Internet for money, either now or in the past, on any type of game, e.g. betting, poker, bingo, lottery, fruit machines, casino games.

The survey and further details about the research are available at

Thankyou.

Its been a few weeks since I posted details of the Internet gambling survey. Thanks to those of you who have completed the survey - your input is very much appreciated.

The survey is still live so if you haven't completed it yet, you still have an opportunity to take part and make sure your experiences of Internet gambling are represented in the research. It will be great if you can participate.

When the survey has 200 participants, I will add a second Ipod touch to the draw so you have a good chance to win something nice, while helping with this research.

Thanks!

Hi is this survey also available to participants who live outside of the UK (such as myself) or are you restricting the research to UK only players?

The survey is open to people who are currently living in the UK. This is because the culture of gambling in different countries can influence how people gamble online, for example, different gambling laws, advertising, computer access, popularity of different games etc. Apologies that it is not more inclusive and it doesn't apply to some forum members. The survey has to have some limits or it becomes unmanageable.

Thanks to all who have completed the survey

As promised, as 200 people have now completed the survey, a second Ipod touch will be added to the draw.

If you haven't taken part already, please have a go - you have a chance to make sure your experiences are included in the research and may win a nice prize.

Thanks - and good luck!

Thanks very much to all those who have completed the survey. If you haven't completed it yet, please do so soon - the survey will be closing on 30th September.

I will conduct the draw in the week after the survey closes and you can expect to hear from me by 15 October if you have won a prize.

Thankyou again. The contribution from this forum is very much appreciated
