• We conducted an online survey of more than 18,000 MMO gamers in China.

• Bonding social capital was linked to lower odds of health disruptions, but bridging had no effect.

• Weak ties in one’s core discussion network were linked to greater odds of health disruptions.

• Health outcomes were also affected by coplaying patterns.
