2021 methodology: interviewing conducted using a mix of post-to-online and online panels. Paper questionnaires could also be requested by postal respondents and were returned by post. Any break column with a base size lower than 100 has been removed as margins of error become too great. Data is tested at the 99% confidence level.
Original survey question: Do you ever play games at home or elsewhere in any of these ways? (MULTI CODE) On a mobile phone or smartphone
