ABOUT G.A.M.E
The Gambling-Awareness Messaging & Education (GAME) Campaign NT was a 2024–2026 research and co-design project exploring how young people in the Northern Territory experience gambling-like activities and other commercial features within digital games.
GAME placed young gamers’ knowledge and experience at the centre of the research.
Through a survey and co-design workshops, young people shared how they assess value, fairness and spending in games, and identified the ways game design, digital currencies, battle passes, paywalls, limited-time offers, prompts and social influences can shape play and spending.
These insights were translated into a series of animations designed to build awareness and strengthen young people’s ability to recognise and critically assess commercial features within games.

TAKE PART IN OUR SURVEY
The Gambling-Awareness Messaging & Education (GAME) project aims to minimise gambling harms among young gamers in the Northern Territory.
We want to know more about in-game spending habits and purchasable video game features such as loot boxes, esports betting, skin betting, and token wagering.
Take our quick survey and share your thoughts on in-game spending and the supposed link between some games and gambling. Your insights will help us understand the impacts of such elements and contribute to future harm minimisation strategies.
