  • 1 in 50 couples row over gaming every day
  • Call of Duty is the online game most likely to cause a rift between couples
  • 1/4 Women have (unsuccessfully) tried to ban gaming in the house, compared to 1/5 Men
  • 25% of men have thought about breaking up with their partner because of online gaming-related arguments, compared to 17% of women

With Valentines day almost a week away, new data from CardsChat.com reveals which online games cause the most arguments in a relationship. CardsChat surveyed 1,000 UK adults whose partner plays online games, to find out how gaming affects relationships. CardsChat also spoke to three relationship experts to explain the findings.

1 in 50 couples row over games every dayย 

Out of the 1,000 surveyed, 1 in 50 couples said they argued over gaming every day! 1 in 25 of the respondents said they squabbled a little less, โ€˜justโ€™ 250 to 300 times per year, while 3 in 25 โ€˜fessed up to having gaming-related rows 150 to 200 times a year.

Arguments per year No. of couples
50-100 1 in 4
150-200 3 in 25
250-300 1 in 25
Every day! 1 in 50

According to the survey data, Call of Duty is the online game most likely to cause a rift between couples with 38% of couples admitting to have argued about time spent on the game.

Fifa is a close second, with 34% of couples confessing to argue over the football game.

According to Iain Macintoshโ€™s book, โ€˜Football Manager Stole My Lifeโ€™, the titular game was cited as a factor in a whopping 35 divorce cases back in 2012. However, despite these stats, we found that the addictive micromanagement game came fourth with 15%.

Game Argument about time spent on the game
Call of Duty 38%
Fifa 34%
Fortnite 21%
Football Manager 15%

What the expert says:

So whatโ€™s behind these rows? Chris Pleines, a dating expert from Datingscout says forgetting important dates and a lack of quality time can contribute: โ€œBeing preoccupied with gaming will most likely let you forget what day it is, especially if you pull an all-nighter. Instead of preparing something special for your partner, you are busy levelling up on your game.โ€

Letโ€™s hope that these gamers donโ€™t forget about Valentineโ€™s Day!

Who Is Trying โ€” and Failing โ€” To Ban Gaming?

1/4 Women Vs 1/5 Men

We dug deep into our research to find out who is trying to ban gaming in these households. The girls just edge it slightly, with one quarter of female respondents admitting to unsuccessfully trying to ban gaming in their house. While around one fifth of men said they had also tried unsuccessfully to put a stop to gaming in the home.

What the expert says:

We spoke to Susan Trombetti, leading matchmaker, relationship expert, and CEO of Exclusive Matchmaking, to delve even deeper into the impact of gaming on relationships. She told us: โ€œGaming is a way to be connected without really connecting with people thus sometimes increasing your social isolation. This can cause issues for relationships.โ€

Her advice? โ€œSome things you can try are limiting time spent on the game instead of banning them altogether. Opposed to making your household a gaming free household, if your partner enjoys it, consider limiting the time gaming, similar to how you may set boundaries like no phones while eating dinner together. Small compromises may work for you and your partner.โ€

Gaming Causing Break-Ups

25% Men Vs 17% Women

Have thought about breaking up with their partner over gaming

Our data reveals that 25% of men have thought about breaking up with their partner because of online gaming-related arguments. Compared to 17% of women surveyed admitting theyโ€™ve considered calling time on a relationship for the same reason.

What the expert says:

Dainis Graveris, a certified sex educator and relationship expert at SexualAlpha suggests that: โ€œWhen people play online games, they become a part of something that involves responsibilities, loyalties, and interactions. These interactions, however, donโ€™t spill through with their relationships offline.

And why does this seem to bother more men than women? Dainis says:โ€ it boils down to the male gamerโ€™s motivations for playing online games thatโ€™s why you can find that most of them get into serious fights with their partners and have thought about breaking up with them.

For instance, some male gamers feel that playing online games helps alleviate stress, serves as an outlet for negative energy, and/or helps them regain a sense of control. When their female partners donโ€™t understand their motivations, they take offense and get into serious argumentsโ€.

Peace of the action

Considering how many relationships are on the ropes due to online gaming, we started thinking about how couples can avoid the agro.

The simple solution? Get gaming included in your vows Or if youโ€™re not married, write some up into your living arrangements. We took the liberty of writing some upโ€ฆ

โ€˜Do you [insert name] promise to play only an hour of gaming a day?โ€™

โ€˜I promise never to ban gaming in the houseโ€™

โ€˜I vow to always put you first, even when Iโ€™m playing Fortniteโ€™

โ€˜I promise never to keep score, even when Iโ€™m beating you at FIFAโ€™

โ€˜I vow to never let the PS5 come between usโ€™

โ€˜I [insert name], take thee, [insert name]โ€ฆ.forsaking all othersโ€ฆโ€™til COD do us partโ€™

โ€˜Whatโ€™s mine is yours and whatโ€™s yours is mineโ€ฆexcept the Xboxโ€™

BTCGOSU Celebrates 5 Years of Bitcoin Casino Guidance With High Value Giveaways Amid Trump-Era Cryptocurrency Market Volatility

Published

btcgosu-celebrates-5-years-of-bitcoin-casino-guidance-with-high-value-giveaways-amid-trump-era-cryptocurrency-market-volatility

ย 

BTCGOSU, the leading independent guide to Bitcoin gambling and crypto casinos, announced its 5th anniversary. Since its founding in 2020, the platform has established itself as the gold standard for comprehensive, unbiased cryptocurrency gambling resources during a period of unprecedented growth and now increasing volatility in digital asset markets.

As cryptocurrency markets navigate the turbulent waters of President Trumpโ€™s recent economic policies, including the sweeping global tariffs announced on โ€œLiberation Dayโ€ and the proposed national Bitcoin Reserve, BTCGOSU remains committed to providing crypto gamblers with reliable guidance on maximizing digital assets in the gambling space.

โ€œWhen we launched BTCGOSU five years ago, we set out to create the most trustworthy resource for crypto gamblers in an industry plagued by misleading information. Today, as player volumes demonstrate strong growth despite the Trump administration policies, the cryptocurrency landscape faces new challenges and opportunities, making our mission more relevant than ever,โ€ said Efialtis, founder of BTCGOSU.

BTCGOSU casino reviews cover hundreds of platforms, analyzing everything from trust, legitimacy, and anonymity factors to deep studies of the full range of crypto casino games, player bonuses, and payout speeds. The siteโ€™s reputation for objectivity and honesty has earned it widespread recognition on Bitcointalk.org, where it has been highlighted as an exception among casino review sites for an unwavering commitment to providing unbiased information.

โ€œIn a market where Bitcoin prices can fluctuate dramatically based on a presidential tweet or tariff announcement, crypto gamblers need reliable information more than ever. Whether itโ€™s navigating new regulatory environments or finding casinos that offer the best hedge against market volatility, BTCGOSU continues to be the trusted guide for the crypto gambling community,โ€ added Efialtis.

To ensure a strong focus on the trust and confidence factors affecting all crypto gamblers, Efialtis implemented a provably fair verifier early in the life of the site. This verifier is widely used by registered BTCGOSU players.

The platformโ€™s anniversary comes at a pivotal time for cryptocurrency markets. Trumpโ€™s policies, including the establishment of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and the appointment of crypto-friendly figures like Paul Atkins as SEC Chair, led to a significant uptick in crypto adoption. Bitcoinโ€™s value soared to new heights in early 2025, with prices hitting $111,000, reflecting a 60% increase since his re-election in November 2024.

Tariff uncertainties have since resulted in a fall-back in values, but the policies have increased interest in cryptocurrency investing, with the number of active crypto holders growing amid tangible government support.

As a result, the crypto gambling market has seen an influx of new players, with transaction volumes of $2 trillion in 2023 projected to increase to a soaring market value of $150 billion by 2030.

To celebrate its milestone and cater to the increasing player numbers, BTCGOSU is launching a series of special 2025 initiatives, including exclusive bonuses with partner casinos, educational content about the intersection of crypto gambling and market dynamics, and an anniversary $5000 giveaway.
