New Study Reports About 10 Percent Of Those Who Use The Internet Have Gambled Online

Parks associates, based in United States, has released a new studying which they have entitled "Digital Media Habits".  In their study they report that they have found that about 10 percent of those who use the Internet declared that they gamble online regularly.  The study is directed toward an examination of growing interactivity with regard to the convergence of online technologies, one example being the uploading of videos, technologies that are being used at a number of sites by about eight percent of those who use the Internet.

The ongoing introduction of mobile cellphone gaming and the efforts toward market penetration, may be one of the reasons for this increased activity.  But the use of mobile cellphones, the many Internet related applications that are now available online, have now been included with the latest cellphones.  Examples are digital recording and the ability to gamble online, all of which have become easily available.  Parks Associates head, Parks, says that probably nearly one-fourth of all Internet users possess a mobile phone.

In the survey, 2060 of those who use the Internet responded.  Parks reports a margin of error of two percent plus or minus.  A probable correlation was also found to exist between the number of those who participate in online gambling, and the number of those who listened to podcasts, with each being at about 10 to 11 percent.
