Gambling is without doubt a popular and enjoyable pastime within our culture. The large majority of Australians will gamble on something at some time in the course of a year (Productivity Commission, 1999). However around 85% of all those in treatment are addicted to one form of gambling - gaming machines.

Pre-commitment helps the individual take responsibility for they're gambling and it seems to have all the hallmarks of a good minimisation strategy. That is what this application is all about, helping you make a decision to reduce or limit the time you spend doing this activity and most importantly reminding you of other commitments/appointments in your life.

It assists in the reduction of problems for the gamblers, and has little impact on the enjoyment or play rates for recreational gamblers. The application has no unforeseen or unintended negative consequences, simply a tool to manage the time spent gambling.

If advances in technology over the years have made poker machines more addictive, it stands to reason that further advances, (in the right direction), could make them less addictive for those at risk, yet just as pleasurable to the average player.

Unfortunately though, to date the manufactures of pokies have not been able to come up with anything to assist the vulnerable. Perhaps...this is the begining.


We hope to add further enhancements to later versions as feedback becomes available.
