Protecting our teens in the digital age!

The rise of gambling on social media and exposure to gambling-like activities as young as age 11 is on the increase. Our research shows frequent gamers, especially those who purchase loot boxes, are showing an increase in spending which highlights a growing concern that young people are engaging in gaming practices that mimic gambling behaviours.

Join us for an exciting event where we will explore the impact of gambling simulation, gaming microtransactions, and the behaviours of our youth and their thoughts on gambling and gaming. From lootboxes to e-sports and sports betting, we’ll dive into the latest trends and discuss how to navigate this new normal. Don’t miss out on this great opportunity to learn more from our experts and connect with others who are concerned about our young people and their future.
