The number of Hamster Kombat players has exceeded 150 million people. All of them log into Telegram dozens of times a day to press their fingers on the hamster and thus collect coins. And all this because players have hope that in the future, in-game money will turn into real cryptocurrency that they can sell and get rich. Initially it seemed like it was just fun – the game did not require any investment other than a huge amount of time. But in fact, players began to pay so much attention to the game that it began to pose a threat to their mental health. At least one player ended up in a mental hospital, and news recently emerged of an accident that led to the death of an overly enthusiastic teenager. Many experts warn about the dangers of Hamster Kombat for children, and the authorities in Uzbekistan have warned that players may face criminal charges in the future.

Some people simply log into the game a couple of times a day, take the coins they have accumulated from passive income, collect combos from in-game purchases, and exit. But there are also players who set themselves reminders about important events in the game and even wake up in the middle of the night to collect money. On the Internet you can find videos in which people use dozens of smartphones to play – these are literally mobile farms for mining in the “hamster”.

The danger of playing Hamster Kombat for children
The popularity of Hamster Kombat is impressive, and the obsession of people is frightening. Many experts have already spoken on this matter.
For example, child psychologist Natalya Naumova shared with Izvestia that playing can lead to mental problems. According to her, if a child has a super idea to collect as many coins as possible in a game, he may sacrifice communication with people and even sleep for this. This is quite expected, because many people tend to chase easy money.
In addition, games like Hamster Kombat stimulate the production of the happy hormone dopamine. When a player quickly gets a million coins, he feels joy. When it rises to a new level, there is even more joy. People like anything that brings pleasure, especially if it doesn't require much effort. An obsession with gaming can not only lead to sleep problems, but also have a negative impact on your studies and quality of life in general.
To avoid such dependencies, parents should diversify their child’s leisure time as much as possible. Choose hobbies for him in which he will feel significant, will be surrounded by like-minded people who will appreciate him and treat him well, the psychologist noted.

Is it possible to make money on Hamster Kombat
Hamster Kombat is played not only by children, but also by adult men and women. In the hope of collecting a lot of coins and getting rich, some players buy dozens of smartphones, that is, they invest real money in this matter. And this despite the fact that no one guarantees that they will receive anything. Cryptocurrency specialist Evgeny Kaminsky believes that only bloggers and other public figures who have invited hundreds of people to the game will be able to make money through Hamster Kombat. And the profit for others may be so low that they will regret that they devoted so much time to the game. It's easy to imagine that some people may become depressed because of this.

Accidents due to Hamster Kombat
Unfortunately, the game Hamster Kombat has already led to accidents. Its victims were teenagers from Russian cities.
For example, on June 13, news appeared that a teenager from Tyumen ended up in a psychiatric hospital because of the game. According to local media, the 14-year-old boy set alarms every day at 3-hour intervals to log into the game and collect the accumulated coins. He did not stop even at night, which led to insomnia and even hallucinations. Fortunately, the patient's condition improved in the hospital and he began to recover.

A great tragedy occurred in Samara due to the game Hamster Kombat. One of the young players was so carried away by the set of coins that he decided to play even while taking a bath. His smartphone was connected to a charger and accidentally slipped out of his hands. This resulted in an electric shock and the teenager died.
Could the developers of Hamster Kombat get into trouble due to these accidents? Here's what the 2Miners.com pool owner thinks about it:
Problems caused by accidents are probably non-existent, except in some small countries. However, from an ethical point of view, companies such as Apple and Google may take a negative stance against clicker.
The greatest concern is the time people waste on completely meaningless “work”, which is unlikely to bring them any benefit. Moreover, they may face mental disorders and disappointment when all their efforts turn into only a couple of cans of Coca-Cola.
