Today, there is a very thin line between gaming and gambling. Some view gambling as gaming, while others disagree. Even though gambling and gaming activities share many common features there is a big difference. Gambling is a game of luck and involves monetary transaction, whereas gaming requires skill, knowledge and can be skill enhancing and educational.

Gaming is a social, leisure activity and a way to spend time with friends and family as you compete against each other. It involves lateral thinking, problem solving skills to overcome the challenges posed by the game developers. Players choose to play – either alone, with friends or the wider community – if they think the game is fun, exciting and safe.

If the gaming environment turns toxic because of inappropriate, harmful content, players and their peers will leave the platform, resulting in revenue loss for the gaming provider who often rely on the community’s revenue for in-app and in-game purchases. User safety and brand protection equals revenue protection and go hand in hand to deliver positive user experiences.

“The risk of young people being harmed by toxic content they encounter online is too great for a single platform operator to tackle on its own, or to build from scratch. By collaborating with Image Analyzer we can block offensive live-streamed video at unprecedented levels and make online communities safer.”
