(c) if the participant has set a limit under paragraph (b), a limit on the participant's net loss on games played under the scheme in any year determined by the provider.
(2) If the participant has previously set a limit under subsection (1), any new limit set by the participant that increases the amount of time or net loss does not take effect until the time determined by the loyalty scheme provider, which must be at least 24 hours after the participant has notified the loyalty scheme provider of the new limit.
(3) A loyalty scheme provider must not allow a participant to continue playing games under the scheme after a limit set by the participants under subsection (1) has been reached.
Penalty: 20 penalty units.
