MDC reports that hundreds of players took part in the survey, and the company found there was a link between prolonged screen time during a gambling session and the effect on the players feeling of well-being.
According to MDC, the key finding of the report was that 41% of gamblers experienced feelings of stress and anxiety when their screentime was prolonged.
MDC also wanted to know how excessive screen time affected players health relating to a range of symptoms, including stress, anxiety, headaches, depression, neck and back pain, sleep disorders, and insomnia.
