Questionnaire completion times

All data tables are provided in Statistics on gambling participation – Year 2 (2024), Wave 1 .

Table A.8: Online questionnaire completion time, by gambling status in the past four weeks shows the online questionnaire completion time. The aim was for the online questionnaire to take an average of 20 minutes to complete. The mean time taken was 17 minutes: 20 minutes for those who had gambled in the past 4 weeks and 15 minutes for those who had not gambled in the past 4 weeks. The median time taken was lower than the mean: 14 minutes for all participants, 17 minutes for those who had gambled in the past 4 weeks and 11 minutes for those who had not gambled in the past 4 weeks1.
