About The Webinar
An Introduction to Online Gaming
Online gaming is simply the playing of a video game over the internet, usually with friends. Online games can be played on any number of devices from dedicated video games consoles such as PlayStations, Xboxes, and Nintendo Switches, to PCs, laptops and mobile phones.
Online gaming provides many benefits. Unfortunately, it also comes with some risks. As well as developing gaming disorder, the ability to play and chat online with others around the world can leave children open to scamming, grooming, and online bullying. Loot boxes and skin betting have also received widespread attention for encouraging similar behaviour associated with gambling.
For these reasons, it’s important that trusted adults educate themselves around what online gaming is and how they can ensure children play safely.
