  • Research reveals 50% of gamers are experiencing more gaming injuries than ever before
  • Leading physiotherapist Tim Allardyce provides top tips on how best to avoid injuries in the future

From health powerups in fortnight, to injured players in FIFA, gaming character injuries are all too common… but have we ever stopped to think about the gamers themselves?

A new report by CasinoSource.co.uk has revealed which console is the most dangerous to play (due to injuries sustained), and what the most common gaming injuries are.

PlayStation revealed as the most dangerous console!

It’s bad news for PlayStation gamers, as players of these consoles are more likely to gain an injury over any other type of gamer.

The report – which surveyed gamers – asked if they have ever gained an injury during game play.

77% of PlayStation gamers have gained an injury during gameplay, making it the most dangerous console. The top 4 most dangerous consoles can be seen below:

Rank Console % of gamers who had experienced an accident whilst playing
1 PlayStation 77%
2 Xbox 74%
3 Nintendo Switch 73%
4 Computer 69%

The top 5 most common gaming injuries revealed

When asked what type of injury they gained from playing games, the survey revealed the top 5 gaming related injuries as:

Rank Gaming Injury Percentage of gamers who suffer
1 Neck strain 86%
2 Headaches and migraines 84%
3 Gamer thumb (tenosynovitis – repetitive use of the thumb) 41%
4 Eye strain 32%
5 Back strain 20%

Expert reveals tips to avoid gaming injuries

Long-term gaming can lead to injuries – especially if you don’t do anything to avoid the problem. To help gamers with these common injuries, leading UK physiotherapist Tim Allardyce provides his simple top tips to avoid physical and mental pain and strain:

 

  • Avoid late-night gaming

 

Late night gaming can affect your circadian rhythm and sleep cycle. It can also place strain on your eyes, so try to finish gaming an hour or so before bed.

 

  • Try to get moving

 

When gaming, it can be helpful to get up and move every 20-30 mins, to stay mobile and reduce joint pains. Get outside, and if possible, absorb some vitamin D, and enjoy the fresh air.

 

  • Don’t snack and play!

Make time to prepare healthy food, as much as possible. If you do enjoy snacking, make every effort to avoid unhealthy treats (crisps, pizza, take-aways, sweets, biscuits) in favour of fruit and veg. Crucially, it’s also important to drink plenty of water and stay hydrated.

TaDa Gaming, a leading provider of innovative casino content, is redefining fast-play entertainment with the release of Cash Stack, an adrenaline-pumping crash game that puts timing, control and strategy directly in the player’s hands. With a max multiplier of 100x, Cash Stack delivers rapid gameplay, instant decisions and nonstop engagement.

Built for players who love simplicity and control, Cash Stack starts at a 1.01x multiplier, with the tension rising as players manually tap DROP to increase their payout potential. Every decision carries risk — one mistimed move and the round ends instantly. For those who dare, the game can soar up to 100x before the stack collapses.

The twist comes with the Cash Rain Event, a random in-game boost that can multiply winnings by 0.1x to 10x. Players must hit CASH OUT before the round ends to claim the bonus value, adding a thrilling layer of timing and anticipation. The result is a fast, skill-driven experience that rewards quick reactions and nerve.

Cash Stack embodies TaDa Gaming’s next step in the evolution of crash games — sleek visuals, simple mechanics and an emphasis on player control over automatic outcomes.

Sean Liu, Director of Product Management at TaDa Gaming, said: “Cash Stack takes the essence of crash gameplay and turns it into a true test of timing and instinct. Every round is a balance between greed and precision — do you cash out early or chase the big win? We’ve designed it to be fast, flexible, and highly engaging for players who want to feel in control.”

In just under three months, the world will turn its eyes to Abu Dhabi as the Games of the Future 2025 (GOTF 2025) prepare to deliver an electrifying showcase of competition, innovation and entertainment.

Set to redefine the boundaries of sport in a pioneering format where competitors must excel both in traditional sports and digital gaming arenas, the Games of the Future 2025 is set to be a sporting spectacular like no other.

For six days from 18-23 December, ADNEC will transform into a futuristic sports hub featuring sports and esports arenas, robot combat zones and drone racing tracks, as athletes and clubs from across the globe battle across 11 phygital disciplines that test speed, strategy and sporting prowess for a staggering USD 5 million prize pool.

Led by ASPIRE as the official delivery authority for the Games of the Future 2025, and supported by Ethara, the operations powerhouse behind some of the city’s key iconic events, athletes, fans and spectators can look forward to an exceptional edition that will elevate the Games of the Future into a landmark occasion on the global sporting calendar.

Residents and visitors can experience a taste of the action with an immersive roadshow at a series of locations across the UAE from October to December. Featuring live demos and interactive challenges, the tour will bring the thrill of phygital sport to life ahead of the Games of the Future 2025 in December.

Nis Hatt, CEO of Phygital International, said: “Phygital sports are rewriting the rulebooks of competition. With less than three months to go, transforming the iconic exhibition centre in the heart of Abu Dhabi into the world’s most advanced space for both digital and physical competition is no small feat. It requires the vision and dedication of hundreds of people to build bespoke digital arenas, pitches, and immersive experiences that will redefine how athletes compete and how fans engage.”

Fans will be able to follow every moment of the Games of the Future 2025 thanks to two newly confirmed media partners. Ei Nerd, Brazil’s leading entertainment platform boasting over 4 billion views, will bring the spectacle directly to its vast community, and BIGG, one of the foremost gaming and esports entertainment company in EMEA, will deliver comprehensive coverage via BIGG TV, the Middle East’s leading gaming channel, which reaches 50 million households in more than 100 countries.
