Gaming, Gambling, and Problematic Media & Internet Use (Virtual)

ARE YOU GAMBLING WITH YOUR FUTURE?

Gaming can be fun, but it can also be risky.

Although video games may seem harmless, the risks aren’t. Many video games imitate real-life gambling behaviors. Youth who gamble before age 12 are 4 times more likely to develop gambling problems later in life. It's important to recognize if gaming or gambling is starting to interfere with your life.

Attend a virtual one-hour workshop to learn more about how to keep gaming fun and to increase your knowledge about its connection to youth gambling.

Who Should Attend:• Youth • Parents/Caregivers • Youth Serving Professionals • Anyone interested in learning more!
