Help and Advice What do I need to know about online gaming?

Other Players

Playing games with your online friends can be great fun, but sometimes they can do and say things which aren’t so nice.

Top Tips

  • If you’re playing with people you don’t know offline, remember not to share any personal information or details about yourself. (e.g. where you go to school, where you live or your passwords)
  • If anyone says or does anything which is worrying or upsetting you, speak to an adult you trust for help and support. You might also want to visit our Get Help page.
  • Make sure you know how to report and block other players, so if they break the rules or are participating in griefing or bullying you know how to stop them.
