In a past Casino Conditions betting news report, the proposed online casino and gaming study set forth by eCommerce Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance (eCOGRA) was highlighted as it neared its unveiling and elicited participation from the gaming community.

Now in full swing, the survey is supposedly meeting its objectives as being one of the most comprehensive online gambling surveys of its kind. Encouraging bettors to take part and make their voices heard, the accumulated results will be shared with casino and gaming site operators and the general public to help the industry provide a more pleasing online gambling experience.

Visitors to the eCOGRA website will now see a large link that says Players Survey 2006, which can be immediately accessed in an entirely autonomous manner. Participants are allowed to answer as many questions as they like, as well as stop taking the survey at any point during the process, which only takes a few minutes of one's time.

Based on tracking statistics, the survey is drawing enough participants at a rate that will make it the largest survey of online casino gamblers to date. With the help of Trent Nottingham University, as well as numerous online gambling portals and casino operators, word of the survey is getting around fast.

In order to give operators a clearer idea of what has caused the online gambling industry to expand as rapidly as it has, and how to harness this expansion so that the industry remains regulated, fair, and credible. Several, if not all, of the sectors of the internet gambling industry are covered in the survey, including online poker, security and protection, casino games, problem gambling and games of chance.

Online casino gamblers are encouraged to take part in the survey and contribute to the sanctity of a thriving gaming industry. Results of the survey will be publicly published as early as January, 2007.
