Online gaming reduces stress

GAMING online can reduce stress levels, according to a study conducted by McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It states that online gaming could actually be good for people’s overall health.

This study demonstrated that after playing some online games, which included online casino games, individuals were a lot less stressed; the hormone responsible for inducing stress, fell by 17 percent on average. For a number of behavioral scientists, this is strong proof that there is a correlation between online gaming and reducing stress levels.

Another study done at Eastern Carolina University, which lasted for six month using 134 subjects found that online gaming can reduce stress and elevate one’s mood. A study at Oxford University also revealed that online gaming may be beneficial for those suffering from PTSD – post traumatic stress syndrome.

An online casino also recently conducted their own informal research study using Blackjack players. In this informal study, it was noted that 74 percent of all the players in the study felt that online casino games were a great way to have an enjoyable time as well as reduce stress. Those players that said that online casinos did not help reduce stress levels played online casino games with much higher stakes involved. Another survey, this time using Roulette players demonstrated the same thing – approximately 77 percent said that online casinos were a great way to reduce stress.
