PEGI Online goes live

The fruits of a new relationship between The Interactive Software Federation of Europe and the European Commission have gone live in the form of a new PEGI website, www.pegionline.eu.

The aim of the site is to help parents and children identify the risks and dangers of playing video games online. Its goals include raising awareness of possibly unsuitable content, as well as encouraging the formation of adult-minor friendships in a suitable environment.

“Unlike PEGI logos, the PEGI online label only guarantees that the holder is committed to protect minors and has signed up to the PEGI online safety code,” secretary general of the ISFE Patrice Chazerand said.

"Vigilant parents will therefore be instrumental to the success of PEGI Online."
