Design Sprint for Safe and Responsible Gaming

A two-day design sprint workshop took at the Youth Makerspace Larnaka (https://www.facebook.com/makerspacelarnaka/) on Friday and Saturday, 12-13 October. During the workshop, participants discussed, explored, proposed solutions and developed prototypes (applications, systems, etc.) with a goal of providing useful information for responsible gaming, as well as information for the risks posed by non-responsible participation.

The prototypes developed by the teams followed the theme of the Responsible Gaming campaign (http://responsiblegaming.gov.cy/en/) as part of the Responsible Gaming Awarness Week (http://responsiblegamingweek.gov.cy/) of the National Betting Authority:

1. Learn before you play

2. Set limits

3. Self-evaluation

4. Be brave when addressing the problem

5. It’s a game, do not forget it

The interactive workshop was hosted by Prof. Panayiotis Zaphiris and Andreas Papallas from the Cyprus Interaction Lab.

The event was supported by the Research center on Interactive media, Smart systems and Emerging technologies (RISE, http://rise.org.cy).
