Web Trial Report February 2009 - Males Only

This “Trial Report” shows just a few of the key topline tables included in the February 2009 results package. Interrogation of this “Trial Report” is designed to show the analysis potential of the data. It’s important, however, to realise that the information available to purchase covers a great many more dimensions and includes a great deal more detail. For example, Reports are available that also contain data on individual Companies (i.e. named web sites; named casinos; named magazines etc.). This “Trial Report” is a free taster; the published Reports contain ten times as much!
This report is also available filtered by the following overall bases (click on the report title to change to that report):

Click anywhere within a particular Table to load it for further analysis - such as, for example, changing the "crossbreaks" (to put different variables across the top of the tables) or to change the "base" (to filter the data that goes into the tables, such as making it U.S.-only, Males-only, Online-money-players only, New-players only etc.etc.).
