Poker machine players will also be linked to bank accounts in changes Dominic Perrottet says ‘will save lives’

The self-imposed spending limits could be changed up to once a week under the changes. This is likely to be criticised by advocates, who had wanted the reforms to go further.“What I hear from harm minimisation experts is [that] the biggest issue is being in front of a pokie machine with a different intention than what you walked in with,” he said.

Players will be linked to a single bank account, interim $500 cash feed-in limits will be implemented and a statewide self-exclusion register will be created. He began pushing for reforms off the back of a damning NSW Crime Commission report last year that found widespread laundering through poker machines across the state. The commission recommended a cashless system.
