Vivo Brazil: Slot Machine
As children and young people are increasingly immersed in interactive worlds, especially in the online gaming universe, global studies indicate that a child can spend even more time, money, and experience more anxiety than a professional gambler. Faced with this scenario, Vivo and the Africa Creative agency, with the technical support of the Regional Psychology Council of São Paulo (CRP-SP), have created a platform aimed at creating more conscious consumption of online games by younger audiences.
The platform, named Vegas Generation, was created to help parents, guardians, caregivers, and educators promote a more healthy, responsible approach to children’s online gaming activity. Vegas Generation serves as a clear guide that can help detect problematic usage of online games by children, something that has concerned parents, caregivers, educators, and young people’s advocates around the world. Additionally, Vegas Generation’s platform provides caregivers with access to relevant information on the subject. In order to definitively identify signs children are engaging in potentially harmful online gaming activity, the platform, www.vegasgeneration.com, gives parents, guardians, and caregivers a test in which their own answers indicate if their child is playing games beyond what experts consider a normal amount. www.vegasgeneration.com provides suggestions and guidance on taking the first steps to deal with a child’s toxic online gaming. All content production of the platform and support were done in partnership with Luiza Brandão, a psychologist specializing in children and adolescent behavior, who has been assisting families facing this problem for seven years. As part of her investigation into the problems of kids and gaming, Brandão wrote an article for her postgraduate degree in Clinical Psychology at the University of São Paulo (USP) on factors associated with the misuse of video games among Brazilian teenagers. The rollout of Vegas Generation promoted on Vivo’s social media channels, along with impactful images produced by artificial intelligence that depict the reality of the gaming issue along with illustrating the solutions. Finally, a Google search strategy will be implemented to answer the most frequently searched questions by parents and relatives on the search engine.
