Esports Safety

SAFETY

By participating in STX Soccer Esports, players and their families benefit from the connection and support of a community while reducing their risks online.

Addressing the risks

Much of the risks in esports and online gaming come from anonymous, unsupervised environments where youth can be especially vulnerable.

• Interactions with bad actors and communications with unverified adults
• Predatory risks and grooming
• Bullying and harassment
• Online toxicity and negativity
• Excessive screen time and imbalance with other activities
• Improper health and exercise habits
• Limited checks and balances
