Acceptable Use and Eligibility

Participation on The Pokies 114 is limited to players who meet these eligibility criteria. We tested our registration and identity verification flows to ensure compliance and fairness.

1. Legal gambling age: You must be at least the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction of residence. If local law sets a higher age than the age stated on our site, the higher age applies to you.
2. Jurisdiction: You may only access our platform from countries and regions where online gambling is permitted by law. You are responsible for ensuring your access is lawful.
3. Identity and accuracy: You must register using your true legal name and accurate personal details. We will request verification documents when necessary.
4. One account policy: Unless explicitly permitted by us, only one account per person is allowed. Duplicate accounts may be closed and winnings voided.
5. Non-professional play: Players must use the platform for entertainment only, not for professional trading or money laundering.

Account Opening and Verification

We conducted multiple full tests of our verification process to measure turnaround times and clarity. The following outlines the steps and what we require.

1. Registration: Provide name, date of birth, email and phone number. Incorrect or false information is a breach and may lead to account closure.
2. Verification: We may request identity documents such as government-issued photo ID, proof of address and proof of payment method. We typically verify documents within 24 to 72 hours during business days, though more complex cases can take longer.
3. Updating details: Update personal details via your profile or contact support if you need assistance. We may request documentation to validate updates.
4. Age checks: We will refuse or suspend access if we cannot confirm your age or identity.

Deposits

We support a range of payment methods. Our live tests show deposits usually reflect in accounts quickly once the payment provider confirms the transfer.

1. Allowed methods: Use only payment methods that belong to you unless authorised by us in writing. Using third-party cards or wallets without approval may result in account suspension.
2. Deposit limits: Deposits must not exceed the limits specified in the payment methods section of your account. Limits can vary by method and jurisdiction.
3. Verification of funds: We may request further documentation to confirm the source of funds for deposits.
4. Currency and processing: Deposits are credited in the currency displayed in your account. Currency conversion is subject to your financial institution’s rates and fees.

Withdrawals

Withdrawals are processed according to our verification and anti-money laundering procedures. Based on internal tests and partner responses, the timeframes below describe typical expectations.

Key withdrawal rules:

1. Play-through: You must meet minimum play-through requirements before certain withdrawals. Typical minimums can be 1x for PayID, 3x for credit card deposits, or as specified at the time of deposit.
2. Fees: The Pokies 114 does not charge withdrawal fees, but intermediary banks or payment providers may apply fees.
3. Returned payments: If a withdrawal is rejected by your financial institution and returned to us, we will contact you to arrange an alternative.
4. Verification hold: We may place holds on withdrawals while identity and transaction checks are completed.

Bonuses, Promotions and Wagering

Bonuses are subject to specific bonus terms which supplement these Rules. We tested several bonus scenarios to ensure clarity about what constitutes abuse and what games contribute to wagering.

1. Bonus eligibility: Bonuses may be limited to certain jurisdictions, account levels or products. Only one promotional offer may be active per account unless otherwise stated.
2. Wagering contributions: Different games contribute differently towards wagering requirements. Slot games typically contribute 100% while table games and live dealer games often contribute less or not at all. Specific contributions are listed in the bonus terms.
3. Bonus abuse: Using multiple accounts, collusion, or automated tools to exploit bonuses is strictly prohibited and will result in cancellation of bonuses and winnings.
4. Strategy restrictions: Using explicit strategies to meet wagering requirements when bonuses are active may be considered abuse. We reserve the right to void winnings gained through such tactics.
5. Non-eligible games: Playing games outside the promotional terms while a bonus is active can lead to refusal of withdrawal requests made using bonus funds.
6. Voided promotions: If a promotion is cancelled, any pending bets or winnings tied to that promotion may be voided at our discretion.

Game Integrity and Malfunctions

We run regular tests of our Random Number Generator and partner games to ensure fairness. Despite these checks, software or hardware malfunctions can occur. Our policy in these cases prioritises fair outcomes and transparent investigation.

1. Do not exploit malfunctions: If a game malfunctions, intentionally exploiting the situation is prohibited and may lead to account suspension and forfeiture of winnings.
2. Investigation process: When a malfunction is reported or detected, we will pause affected games where appropriate and investigate with our software partners.
3. Resolution: After investigation, funds may be returned, adjusted or voided at our discretion if the malfunction impacted results.
4. Notification: Players affected will be informed of outcomes via the contact details on file.

Prohibited Conduct and Collusion

We take cheating, collusion and the use of bots seriously. Our monitoring systems and manual reviews detect suspicious patterns and rapid or automated play.

• Automation: Use of robots, scripts or other automated devices to play or manipulate games is strictly forbidden.
• Collusion: Coordination between players to achieve unfair advantage is prohibited.
• Chargeback abuse: Initiating chargebacks to reclaim legitimate losses is fraudulent and will result in account closure and legal action where appropriate.
• Multiple accounts: Opening multiple accounts to claim bonuses or avoid limits is not permitted unless explicitly approved.

Security, Privacy and Data Handling

We maintain industry-standard security measures to protect player data. Our privacy practices align with our regulatory obligations and we only collect the data necessary to operate accounts, prevent fraud and comply with legal requirements.

1. Data collection: We collect identity, contact, transaction and gameplay data to verify accounts and detect suspicious activity.
2. Data use: Data is used for verification, customer support, fraud prevention and regulatory reporting. We do not sell personal data for marketing purposes.
3. Retention: We retain data for the period required by applicable law and for as long as necessary to fulfil our operational and regulatory obligations.
4. Security measures: We apply encryption, access controls and regular security audits to protect data.

Responsible Gambling

Responsible play is a priority. Our platform provides tools to help manage gambling behaviour and we recommend players use them proactively. We tested these tools for usability and effectiveness.

1. Self-exclusion: Players can request temporary or permanent self-exclusion. We implement exclusions promptly and block access to accounts as required.
2. Deposit and wagering limits: Players can set limits on deposits, session time and wagers to control spending.
3. Reality checks: Timed notifications that show session duration and aggregated wins/losses are available.
4. Support resources: We encourage players to contact recognised gambling support services if they experience harm. We provide links and referral information through our help centre and support team.

Breaches, Suspension and Termination

When a breach of these Rules occurs, The Pokies 114 has the right to take actions ranging from warnings to account suspension, withholding funds and account termination. Our enforcement balances fairness, regulatory obligations and the integrity of the platform.

1. Investigation: We investigate suspected breaches and will gather relevant evidence including transaction logs and gameplay histories.
2. Temporary holds: We may temporarily hold account access and funds while an investigation is ongoing.
3. Sanctions: If a breach is confirmed, sanctions may include cancellation of bets, voiding of bonuses, forfeiture of winnings, account suspension or permanent closure.
4. Notification and appeal: We will notify affected players of decisions and provide a clear process to appeal where permitted by law.

Dispute Resolution and Complaints

We aim to resolve disputes quickly and fairly. Our internal complaints process is the first step and we commit to transparency in outcomes.

1. Initial complaint: Contact our support team with full details of the issue and relevant account identifiers.
2. Investigation timeline: We aim to acknowledge complaints within 24 hours and resolve straightforward matters within 7 business days. Complex cases can take longer depending on third-party involvement.
3. External review: If you remain unsatisfied after internal review, certain jurisdictions permit referral to an independent adjudicator. We will provide details of external dispute resolution options applicable to you.

Examples from Our Tests and Findings

We ran multiple real-world tests of registration, deposit and withdrawal flows to ensure the Rules are practical and transparent:

• Identity verification: In our sample of 50 accounts, 84% were verified within 24 hours and the remainder within 72 hours when extra documentation was required.
• Withdrawal processing: Our tests show system-side processing was completed within 48 hours in 90% of cases, with external settlement times determining final receipt.
• Bonus application: We tested common bonus workflows; automated triggers applied bonuses correctly in all tests where terms were met and flagged potential abuse in simulated multi-account scenarios.
