Are you a parent, carer, educator or someone who works with young people? With gambling-style features now built into many games, the line between gaming and gambling is becoming harder to spot.

Maribyrnong and Wyndham City Councils have partnered with IPC Health to bring you this free webinar that will give you the knowledge and confidence to guide young people through these risks. You’ll discover:

  • How gambling features appear in games (e.g. loot boxes, in-app purchases)
  • How to recognise the risks of exposing young people to gambling-like behaviours
  • How to have confident conversations with young people about gaming and gambling
  • Practical strategies and tools to manage gaming habits
  • Where to go for support and further information

Whether you’re a parent, carer, or work with young people, this session provides essential insights into a fast-evolving issue.
