When looking into the attitudes towards online casino games’ speed of play, the majority of respondents reported that across 7 online (non-slots) casino games, the speed of play was ‘just right’ (71 to 78 percent). Yet, almost a quarter of respondents (24 percent) reported that they spend more than they could afford to lose playing online casino games. Many agreed that it is easy to become engrossed whilst playing these games (77 percent), whilst 28 percent reported experiencing a ‘binge’ whilst playing online casino games. The most frequently played online (non-slots) casino game was virtual roulette with 36 percent of respondents having spent money on this activity in the last 12 months, followed by poker and live roulette at 29 percent of respondents.

We have learnt about consumer’s attitudes towards online casino game’s spin speeds, their awareness around their spending habits and behaviours, as well as supporting Evidence theme 5, adding value to our evidence base. This research has been able to give insight into which online casino products consumers are engaging with and the demographics that are doing so. Respondents were also asked about their staking behaviour, with many reporting that they do not change their stake amounts whether winning or losing (69 percent and 67 percent, respectively). Keno and baccarat had the least number of respondents spending money on this activity in the last 12 months (9 percent and 10 percent respectively) (Table 1.0).
