Clearance period (self-exclusion)

NSW gaming & clubs

The statutory cooling-off interval between a patron's application to revoke a self-exclusion order and the order's revocation taking effect. The NSW self-exclusion register framework requires the clearance period to lapse before a patron can re-enter the gaming area — protecting the patron against impulse-driven revocation and giving the venue a defensible audit trail. The exact duration is set by the underlying scheme rules and the venue's self-exclusion policy.

This term sits in the NSW gaming & clubs section of the working glossary — vocabulary drawn from the Gaming Machines Act 2001, the Liquor Act 2007, the Registered Clubs Act 1976, and L&GNSW guidance.
