Review of electronic gaming machine pre-commitment features: Limit setting

Abstract

The Australian Institute of Family Studies (AIFS) was commissioned by the former Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA) to research options for the introduction of limit setting within a broader pre-commitment system. This report examines research evidence and opinions from regulators, academics, government officials and EGM venue operators relating to the optimum design of limit-setting features within a pre-commitment system. The report provides analyses and options relating to applying limit-setting features to EGMs as a consumer protection or harm minimisation measure.
