At The Pokies 172 NET, we promote responsible gambling practices and understand that from time to time a “time-out” may be the best course of action. Our Self-Exclusion program is a very effective service that will help you take control of your life and stay away from our betting games for a period of your choice.
Self-Exclusion Requests
Every gambler has the right to self-exclude themselves from our betting services. Players may like to self-exclude for a definite period or for a permanent period of time:
Self-Exclusion Periods
self-exclusion period | Duration |
Short-term exclusion | 7 days, 14 days, 30 days |
Long-term exclusion | 60 days, 90 days |
Permanent exclusion | Indefinite period of time |
What happens when self-exclusion takes place?
When a self-exclusion applies:
No Participation
There will be No Participation in any of the games or betting services from which you have self-excluded yourself.
Account Creation Prohibition
An account Creation Prohibition applies. This means that you may not create another account on our site. If a new account is identified as being created while a self-exclusion is in place, The Pokies 172 NET will automatically disable it.
Recommendation During Exclusion
We recommend that this self-exclusion period be used to delete all gambling-related subscriptions, notifications, and social media pages.
Best Use of the Exclusion Period
The self-exclusion period will be put to best use if all of your gambling-related subscriptions, notifications, and social media pages are deleted.
Changing or Cancelling Exclusion Limits
Control is yours; however, a cooling-off period applies in relation to all self-exclusion decisions in order to prevent spur-of-the-moment decisions to rejoin gambling games:
Change Requests and Cooling-Off Periods
The Action Requested | exclusion type | Time Until Change Takes Effect |
Increase in limits | Fixed Period or permanent | Immediate |
Decrease or cancellation | Fixed Period (7 to 90) | Twenty-four hours |
Decrease or cancellation | Permanent | Seven days |
