National Survey Reveals Trends in US Gambling Attitudes and Behaviors (NGAGE Study)
The National Survey on Gambling Attitudes and Gambling Experiences (NGAGE) provides crucial data to understand gambling behaviors and attitudes across America. These surveys help develop prevention programs and promote responsible gambling practices.
NGAGE 1.0 (2018) Launched in response to the Supreme Court's Murphy case ruling, this initial survey established a baseline of U.S. gambling activities before the widespread expansion of sports betting.
NGAGE 2.0 (2021) This follow-up survey measured changes in national gambling attitudes and experiences compared to the 2018 baseline, tracking the evolution of gambling behaviors and public perception.
