The centrepiece of the Andrews' government pokies reform announcement is the introduction of a carded system for users of poker machines. Such a pre-commitment system will require pokies' users to register for an account linked to a gaming card that will record a limit of how much they're prepared to lose daily, weekly and monthly. Once that limit has been reached, the system will not allow further gambling. Because all pokies in the state are linked, this limit will apply across machines and across venues.
