Getting Played: Gambling, Gaming & Young People

Young people today are increasingly exposed to gambling and gambling-like content in many aspects of their lives. While gambling is an activity people can enjoy, the truth is it can lead to serious harm – not just financially, but also in terms of mental health, relationships and overall wellbeing.

Getting Played is an initiative of the ACT Gambling and Racing Commission, which aims to help young people understand the risks associated with gambling and gambling-like content in video games. From this page you can find program information for educators, school wellbeing teams, parents and carers.
