This Thursday – Tech Tips Live: Gaming and Financial Harms

A quick reminder that our Tech Tips Live session on gaming and financial harms is happening this coming Thursday, and is streamable at the slightly revised time of 4:00pm.

We’ll cover a (brief) history lesson of how the gaming industry has evolved, the profit-maximising methods which games companies use, the risks these tactics can pose to children.

Importantly, we'll also tell you what you, as a parent, need to know when it comes to minimising harms, and maximising all the benefits of gaming.

We’ll also be answering some of your questions and linking to some helpful resources during the interactive session. Again, this live, virtual event is taking place at 4:00pm on Thursday March 30 – you can stream the session via YouTube.
