Online Gaming

“Online gaming is big business. Worth £3.77 billion in 2019, it accounts for almost half of the UK’s entertainment market. The variety of games on offer alone is staggering, with simple, colourful beginner games for very young children through to complex multi-player video games for older age groups. And while those under 18 make up less than 25 per cent of active gamers, they are getting younger, with 17 per cent of 3 to 5-year-olds now playing games online.

This guide looks at the positives and negatives of online gaming, how you can talk to your child about it, and the practical steps you can take to make it a safe and healthy activity.” hwb.gov.wales
