The Random Project - Public Survey

Nocht Studio, in partnership with Extern Problem Gambling Ireland, is developing "Random," a project exploring randomness and gambling.

This survey aims to gather public insights on gambling issues and experiences to guide the Random Project.

The survey should take about 10 minutes to complete.

Some questions may cover sensitive topics like gambling harms. If you feel uncomfortable, you can stop the survey at any time.

All responses are anonymous and no personal information will be shared.

If you need support, links to gambling support services will be provided at the end of the survey.

"Random" is currently in the research and development phase. It involves collaboration among academics, service providers, experts by lived experience, and the public to develop artistic interventions on randomness and gambling.

"Random" is funded by the Arts Council of Ireland and Creative Ireland through Waterford City & County Council.
