New classifications are now in place to help parents and carers identify video games with gambling-like content.  

Research shows links between gambling-like content in video games and problem gambling, emotional and mental health impacts.  

Video games with gambling-like content will now be classified M (not recommended for children under 15) or R18+ (restricted to adults 18 years and over).  

We’ve created resources and hope you’ll share these with your interested networks: 

• An info sheet for parents/carers 

• Social media tiles to share with your networks 

• Nadia and Zac’s story - demonstrating how a parent discovered and made some changes to feel more comfortable with the video games her son plays.
