Sports Betting Habits, Spend, and Promotions Survey

Thanks for taking part! This survey is for adults (18+) and asks about your sports betting activity, spending, and views on promotions. It takes about 5-6 minutes, and your answers are confidential. There's no judgment here — honest answers help us most.

Explore the reasoning behind this respondent's spend and betting frequency: ask what typically triggers a betting session (a game they're watching, a promo notification, boredom, socializing), and whether their actual spend last month matched what they intended to spend. If they said promotions influence which app they use, probe a specific recent example of a promo they used and whether it changed how much or how often they bet. If they indicated they tried to cut back and found it difficult, gently ask what made it hard and whether they've looked into any support resources — do not diagnose or lecture, just listen and note details.

Which age range are you in?

• 18-24
• 25-34
• 35-44
