REVEALED: These are the Online Games that Cause the Most Arguments đźđ

Â
- 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 dayÂ
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, âjustâ 250 to 300 times per year, while 3 in 25 âfessed 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 Macintoshâs book, âFootball Manager Stole My Lifeâ, 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 whatâs behind these rows? Chris Pleines, a dating expert from Datingscout says forgetting important dates and a lack of quality time can contribute: âBeing 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.â
Letâs hope that these gamers donât forget about Valentineâs Day!
Who Is Trying â and Failing â 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: âGaming is a way to be connected without really connecting with people thus sometimes increasing your social isolation. This can cause issues for relationships.â
Her advice? âSome 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.â
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 theyâve 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: âWhen people play online games, they become a part of something that involves responsibilities, loyalties, and interactions. These interactions, however, donât spill through with their relationships offline.
And why does this seem to bother more men than women? Dainis says:â it boils down to the male gamerâs motivations for playing online games thatâs 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 donât understand their motivations, they take offense and get into serious argumentsâ.
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
âDo you [insert name] promise to play only an hour of gaming a day?â
âI promise never to ban gaming in the houseâ
âI vow to always put you first, even when Iâm playing Fortniteâ
âI promise never to keep score, even when Iâm beating you at FIFAâ
âI vow to never let the PS5 come between usâ
âI [insert name], take thee, [insert name]âŠ.forsaking all othersâŠâtil COD do us partâ
âWhatâs mine is yours and whatâs yours is mineâŠexcept the Xboxâ

Nolimit City boards a wild ride at 35,000 feet in Flight Mode

Â
Dear passengers, welcome aboard Flight NLC25! Flight Mode is cleared for takeoff and letâs just say, itâs not a typical family trip to Hawaii. After delivering signature slots like Tombstone Slaughter: El Gordoâs Revenge and Duck Hunters, Nolimit City is now taking it to the skies with Flight Mode and definitely not in a boring way.
Imagine having a crying baby as your only soundtrack, permanent turbulence and a seatmate who thinks deodorant is optional. The Bud Jet airline might not get you from A to B but itâll drop you into a feature-packed slot and the kind of excitement you can always expect when playing a Nolimit City slot.
In Flight Mode, winning combinations will explode, making room for new symbols to drop in. With every win, the next multiplier value climbs by +1 and applies to new symbols that fall in.
Wild Symbol: The regular Wild symbol that can land on any reel and substitute for any regular symbol.
Multiplier Increaser: Triggered when they land and add its value to the next multiplier value. Multiplier values of symbols are 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x and 10x.
Golden Multiplier Increaser: Triggered when it lands and doubles the value of the next multiplier.
Explosive items are strictly prohib⊠well, not on this aircraft. The Bomb symbol clears all regular paying symbols on its reel and row when there are no winning combinations. Only Scatter and Wild symbols are saved from the explosions.
Apologies dear passengers, the lavatory is currently occupied! The signature xHoleâą is back in Flight Mode, this time disguised as a toilet. All symbols from the main reels are flushed down and then spat out to random positions with the next multiplier value. Just to add an extra twist to it, xHoleâą then transforms itself into a Wild symbol that also gets the next multiplier value. Not so hygienicâŠ
Â
Flee Spins
This is the captain speaking â weâre going down! Prepare your life jacket and be ready for a spontaneous meet-up with the sharks during Flee Spins! Land 3, 4, or 5 Scatter Symbols to trigger 6, 9, or 12 Flee Spins, respectively.
Upgrade your seat to Bud Jetâs nice price class when purchasing one of these Nolimit Boosters:
-Print Spins: guarantees a spin that starts off with a 30x multiplier on each paying symbol.
-Printier Spins: guarantees a spin that starts off with a 268x multiplier on each paying symbol.
-Printiest Spins: guarantees a spin that starts off with a 911x multiplier on each paying symbol.
No legroom, no peanuts â but you do get Extra Spins. After a round ends, players may get the option to purchase an additional spin, maintaining the current multiplier state of all previously landed symbols.
The special xGodâą mechanic is locked away disguised as passports on the bottom row, secured behind bulletproof glass and a seatbelt that actually works. Each Bomb explosion breaks the panel of its respective reel, bringing you one step closer to landing a Max Win.
The maximum payout of Flight Mode is 5,051x the base bet. Flight Mode is rated as âExtremely Volatileâ delivering the thrilling high-stakes gameplay that Nolimit City fans know and love.
Per Lindheimer, Head of Product at Nolimit City, said: âThis isnât your standard trip from A to B. Flight Mode is what happens when you let a slot company rewrite the in-flight safety manual, handing out dynamite instead of peanuts.â
âFlight Modeâ will be available to all Nolimit City partners on June 17th, 2025.
