That is a very relative question really. Personally I'm here almost every day working on my game, my players vary in the amount of time they spend on prep for our weekly sessions. 1 player is heavily invested and 'pesters' me on a daily basis... which i love. The others are more a couple of times a week but are there with bells on for game night. It all depends on what game you get into, average games will run weekly or bi-weekly depending on the GM's schedule but there are frequent one-shots that could give you a game every day if desired. Long term games are less likely to run more than one or two nights a week due to the prep time a GM has to put into them... but that being said if you are looking for something time consuming then i would recommend GMing, nothing eats my time more than session prep ;)

Ditto Ziechael.  I have one game I play in Thursday nights, which is about 5 hours between the game and writing backstory, responses, and tinkering with spells and macros.  I also co-GM 2 games (one for a blind friend of mine, the other for my wife), so There's about 12 hours a week.  Outside that, I'd like to be spending about as much time as possible working on API scripts (I have many that need maintenance, many I'm working on, and many more I want to write).  I also try to put in some time on the Wiki updating documentation and adding it for things that are as yet undocumented.  And on top of that, I am looking over parts of the forum to de moderation. Roll20 is pretty much my second job, which pays in happiness instead of dollars. =D

I personally play 2-3 times per week, plus some prep-time on other days, and this covers 2-3 different games, so the average per game is once a week. From my experience I've found that a lot of games/groups play once a week, or twice-per-month, on a repeating schedule (like every Monday, or every-other-Friday), same as Ziechael said.   It is harder to find/form a group that can play more than once-a-week, of course it is possible to do this if you can find a other players with matching schedule / availability.  If you are Game Master'ing it is easier to have something to do multiple days per week, if your game requires or benefits from GM-prep-time such as making maps, planning scenarios, writing stories and descriptions or drawing pictures.
