6. The New Public Policy Agenda Pre-commitment Focus on player pre-commitment limits Player monetary loss limits – daily, weekly, monthly. Machines must stop when limits reached Players initially set their own limits voluntarily Players set limits away from the machines Players carry an ID device connected to their limits in order to play (e.g. plastic card, smart card or some other smart technology) Machines only operate using an ID device. Machines still use coins and notes as usual RESPONSIBLE GAMING NETWORKS
