Ойын және құмар ойындардың зиянын түсіну

The digital world offers incredible opportunities for young people, but brings evolving risks that often exist out of adult sight. Whether you're a parent, professional or volunteer, our training provides essential information to help you understand, prevent and address gaming and gambling harms.

Ойын

3-15 жас аралығындағы балалардың 91% видео ойындарын ойнайды. Көптеген адамдар үшін бұл жағымды тәжірибе – шығармашылықты, мәселелерді шешуді және әлеуметтік байланыстарды дамыту. Бірақ өсіп келе жатқан мәселе бар: ойындар құмар ойындарға ұқсас мүмкіндіктерді қосады.

Құмар ойындар

Бүгінгі жастар құмар ойындарға қол жетімді және қалыпты жағдайға айналған әлемде өсіп келеді. Лотерея билеттері мен скретч-карталардан бастап, онлайн бәс тігуге, бейне ойындардағы құмар ойындарға ұқсас мүмкіндіктерге және әлеуметтік желілердегі жарнамаға дейін жастардың құмар ойындарға бейімділігі артып, дамып келеді.
