There are a variety of reasons why people begin playing bingo, such as for money, for company, for adrenaline rushes, or simply to have a good time. Peaks and pitfalls, thrill and kills, you name it – internet bingo provides all these and many more. Like any other game where risks are high, this increased exhilaration has its own fair share of favorable and negative impact on the gamblers.
Bingo- The Anxiety Attractant
The exhilaration involved in a night of bingo can drive an individual to the opposite side of the spectrum. Getting too engrossed in the game, one’s anticipation level possibly could change; this could have a detrimental outcome on players who suffer from hyper tension or heart issues. Some studies indicate, people who compete in bingo are prone to get easily worked up and accordingly have elevated stress levels. It has been seen that work related anxiety is far less than the anxiety generated while wagering on bingo. There have been many cases of people having lost their jobs because of bingo-related stress affecting their proficiency at work.
Despite the previously stated risks, bingo is able to still be a wonderful anxiety-buster if players acknowledge that it is just a game, guard their well-being and control their actions.
