Project Maverick (Gaming)

watchLAB welcomes you to the pre-qualifying online survey for Project Maverick (Gaming)!

Topic: Gaming
Genders: All
Ages: 16 - 44
Sessions Available: April 27th through April 29th
Type of study: Focus Groups
Length: 90 minutes
Location: Remote
Incentive: $125 (Payment would be mailed to you as a check. We estimate that checks would be mailed out about 6 weeks after the last interviews for this study have been completed.)

Before you get started -- some stuff you should know:

After you fill out the survey, we will review your responses. If you appear to be a possible match to our client's research criteria we will call you to verify your responses and ask you some additional questions to determine if you fully qualify. Please note that simply filling out the survey does not automatically qualify you for the study. Also, due to a potential high volume of responses, we may only be able to respond to those who appear to be a possible match.

The world has Swiss Banks. We have our Online Community. Both are highly confidential and secure -- only with us, you don't have to worry about retina scans and fingerprints. Any information you share with watchLAB will never be given to any clients or third parties without your explicit permission as part of a paid market research study.
