Online Gaming and its Safety

Hello gamers! There are ranges of online games. Some are simple and single player games which you can play on your own and others are big, complex and multiplayer games involving lots of players. We can help you learn how to stay safe online when playing games.  Loads of people play poker games online. You can play these games on:  
  • Mobile apps 
  • Consoles and computers 
  • And websites. 
You can also talk to people through the game itself, chat site, a console network at the gaming forum. You can talk through instant messenger, video chat or a headset. Some people like to watch other gamers playing on live-streaming sites. 



Games are a great way to relax and have fun. But it’s essential to be careful about what you share online and keep yourself safe. 

5 top tips for staying safe online: 
  • Tell a trusted adult if something upsets you. Check how to report, block, or mute other players before you start playing 
  • There’s nothing wrong with losing - sometimes you'll win and sometimes you'll lose 
  • Respect other players and don't upset anyone in order to get ahead 
  • Check game ratings - they tell you if the game is unsuitable for younger age groups 
  • Don’t spend all your time gaming - make time for your family and friends, other social activities and homework 
Oyour computers, you can use the built-in family protection tools or parental control tools you install yourself to set the same types of limits. Handheld devices also have control settings, and one setting to pay attention to is whether you allow Bluetooth connections that let others to interact with you through this type of device. 

If the game is played online, and allows players to interact, keep in mind that the safety settings and controls do not monitor the conversations within the games. While most conversations will be entirely appropriate, there may be some people who choose not to act correctly 

If you with others, talk to them about the potential for bullying, people who cheat, and people that want to get too friendly (or other grooming behavior). For younger kids, there are many online gaming sites specifically designed for youth with content moderators reviewing conversations. These may be the right choice for you.
