Everest Poker has commissioned Jupiter Research to conduct a Pan-European survey identifying the demographic and behavioural characteristics of the poker playing community in Europe.
Nearly 2,000 consumers in France, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, Spain and Italy completed the survey online which is the first poker-specific survey on European players to be published.
The survey shows the average European poker player to be male, aged 25 to 34-years-old and earning less than €35K per year.
The survey also suggests that European consumers play poker online four times per month and are driven by the fun aspect of the game. Additionally, 40 percent of those surveyed play poker on a weekly basis with evenings and weekends being the most popular times to play.
Respondents were also asked to assess their online poker playing skills during the survey. Dutch and German players were particularly modest with over 20 percent believing they have below average poker skills compared to players in other European countries. Eight percent of respondents from each country considered their poker skills to be above average, with the exception of Swedish players, 11 percent of whom consider their skills to be better than in other countries.
