Obesity and online casino

29 Mar 2007

Online casino opponents are so angry about the success of online casino that they find everyday new arguments to publicly fight it. Now is the turn of nutrition and obesity. They are trying to link online casino gambling with higher risks for obesity ! Of course, spending hours and even days gambling in front of a computer is not the healthiest activity. But it was already the case with many other hobbies, so why do they focus on online casino ?

Take video games for instance. They do not only touch the kids population. They actually have more fans among men in their twenties and thirties, who do not hesitate to play hours and even days. But it important to make a difference between players who just have fun once in a while, and addictive gamblers, those who visit online casino sites everyday...Because obesity is actually not the only threat upon their heads...Online casino games should stay games. They should not keep you from having a social life, for instance...

Not because of the risk of obesity, but because of the amount of time spent alone, in a room, in front of a computer, without talking to anybody but other online casino fans. Or because you gambled more than you make, and have nothing left to go out with your friends…This is all very exaggerated, I know. But if reading this reminds you just a little bit of yourself, you need to know you might be addicted and start to think about your gambling habits. If online casino has taken such a place in your life, you must face it and take measures to put it back where it should be: entertainment.
