TOP TIPS FOR GAMING Whether it is done via mobile devices or using games consoles, gaming is one of the top activities enjoyed by young people online. Here are our tips to play safely: 0) _____ It is important to find out information on age ratings. Look out for the icon on the game that shows what age classification it has been given. 1) _____ Don't share identifying details like your full name, mobile phone number or address. Sharing this type of information could put you at great risk. 2) _____ To avoid being hacked, pick a strong password. Make sure you include a combination of letters, numbers and symbols. Treat your password like your toothbrush: you shouldn't share it with anyone else. 3) _____ Online friends are still strangers even if you have been talking to them for a long time and meeting someone you have only been in touch with online can be dangerous. 4) _____ Make sure you know what tools are available if someone is being aggressive in a game. Learn how to block, mute, delete and report on the games and consoles you use. 5) _____ Games have been designed to be fun and exciting and to keep us coming back for more. But remember, for healthy gameplay, it's important to stop for at least five minutes every hour. 6) _____ You may be asked to pay for items in the game or to upgrade to the next level. The amount may seem small, but you can run up a large bill before you even realise it. We suggest blocking in-app purchases. 7) _____ Don't break the law by downloading non-copyrighted games or cheat programmes to skip to a higher level.
