    Please answer honestly, it's proper research. Not just the kind that companies do to make more money!

    I'll second that comment. A big chunck of those questions were lifted straight from a Bi-polar screening test so we must do everything we can to help.

    I have started this and paused. Do you think that entering offline comps like texts and postcards does count as gambling? I would answer the questions totally differently if this is the case. I also recognise, whilst free, online comping can have many of the same facets as online gambling.

    I saw it and answered it as the purely "financial" type of gambling :)

    Thanks Kipper. I don't want to muck up their research in any way.

    I couldn't agree with you more I was just shocked that the original comment needed to be made. It just goes to show how naive you can be. I answered because there was no screen out question so just continued and in the end it was relevant. If they had wanted purely 'gamblers', as a professional body who have done research before I thought they would have put a stop on at the beginning. If I am wrong then I apologise. This is research that is long overdue in my humble opinion.
