There are a variety of reasons why individuals start betting on bingo, for example for cash, for companionship, for adrenaline rushes, or simply to have a great time. Highs and lows, thrill and kills, you name it – online bingo provides all these and more. Just as in any other game where stakes are high, this increased excitement has its own genuine share of positive and detrimental impact on the gamblers.

Bingo- The Anxiety Attractant

The anticipation involved in a game of bingo can drive a person to the opposite side of the spectrum. Getting too engrossed in the match, your anticipation level might change; this might have a detrimental effect on individuals who have hyper tension or cardiac issues. According to some studies, people who participate in bingo are prone to get easily worked up and accordingly have high-anxiety. It has been seen that employment related anxiety is much lower than the anxiety generated while participating in bingo. There have been many cases of players having lost their place of work because of bingo-related stress impacting their proficiency at work.

Despite the aforementioned risks, bingo can still be a great stress-reliever if players acknowledge that it’s only a game, guard their well-being and constrain their actions.
