Game-Bling: When Gaming Meets Gambling Workshop

YMCA of Eastern Ontario - Youth Gambling Awareness Program

Learn about the intersection between gaming and online gambling in this interactive workshop presented by the YMCA of Eastern Ontario's Youth Gambling Awareness Program.

Gambling is incorporated in the games youth play (i.e. videogames, mobile apps), blurring the lines between gambling and gaming. Due to the risk associated with gambling, it is important for youth to differentiate when a game goes from a skill-based activity to a chance-based activity. This interactive workshop explores unconventional forms of gambling available to minors. Learn more, play games, and win prizes!

This program is hosted by the YMCA of Eastern Ontario and the Youth Gambling Awareness Program. To learn more about the YGAP program click the link here.
