Gaming is about having fun, building skills, and connecting with others, but it's important to stay safe while you play.
Many online games allow players to chat with strangers, make purchases, and join communities. While most interactions are positive, some people may use games to scam, bully, manipulate, or collect personal information.
Knowing how to protect yourself helps keep gaming fun and safe.
