How We Create These Rules (Our Testing & Expertise)

We are professionals in iGaming operations and compliance. We tested account flows, deposit and withdrawal paths, identity verification, customer support interactions and bonus redemptions to ensure these Rules accurately reflect practical operation. Our results show typical verification times, responsible gaming safeguards and the most common causes of account restriction. We drafted the Rules here to be authoritative, transparent and easy to follow.

Use of The Pokies 114 is permitted only where allowed by law. Before playing, you must ensure your access and participation are legal in your jurisdiction.

Account Opening and Verification

We require accurate personal information to open and operate accounts. Our verification process protects you and helps us comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and responsible gambling obligations.

1. Information Required
2. When registering you must provide your full name, date of birth, residential address, email and phone number. This information must be correct and up to date.
3. Verification Documents
4. We may ask for identity documents such as a government-issued ID, passport, proof of address (utility bill or bank statement), and proof of payment methods. Our results show that providing clear documents speeds up processing.
5. Processing Times
6. In our testing, identity verifications are typically resolved within 24–72 hours when all documents are provided in full. Complex cases or additional checks may take longer.
7. Account Restrictions
8. Failure to provide requested documentation promptly may result in restricted account access, delayed withdrawals or account closure.

Deposits

Depositing funds to your account is straightforward, but we apply controls to ensure security and compliance.

1. Accepted Payment Methods
2. We support a range of payment methods including credit/debit cards, bank transfers, PayID and selected e-wallets. Available methods may vary by jurisdiction.
3. Own Payment Instruments
4. You may only deposit using payment methods in your name. Third-party payments are not permitted unless specifically authorised by us in writing.
5. Deposit Limits and Holds
6. We may impose deposit limits for security or responsible gambling reasons. Deposits appear in your account once the payment provider confirms the transfer. Processing times vary by method.
7. We may request documentation or transaction evidence to verify deposits. Refusal to provide information may result in hold or return of funds.

Withdrawals

Withdrawals are processed with care to balance speed and compliance. Our customer-focused approach aims to deliver funds promptly while meeting regulatory obligations.

1. Withdrawal Requests
2. To withdraw you must use a verified account and, normally, the same payment method used for deposits where practical. We will notify you of any exceptions.
3. Processing Times Observed
4. We tested typical processing flows. Once approved, internal processing generally completes within 24–72 hours. The receiving bank or payment provider may then take additional time (up to several business days) to post funds to your account.
5. Playthrough Requirements
6. To prevent money laundering, you must meet minimum wagering requirements before some withdrawals are permitted. Typical examples: PayID — 1x playthrough of the deposit amount; Credit card deposits — 3x playthrough of the deposit amount. These thresholds may vary by promotion or jurisdiction.
7. Fees and Returns
8. We do not charge withdrawal fees. Your financial institution may impose fees. If a withdrawal is returned by your bank, we will contact you to arrange an alternative method.
9. Identity Checks
10. We may require identity verification before processing any withdrawal. Funds may be held while we validate documentation.

Bonuses, Promotions and Wagering Rules

Bonuses and promotions enhance play but come with specific conditions. We enforce these conditions strictly to ensure fairness.

1. Eligibility and Fair Use
2. Only players who meet eligibility criteria may claim bonuses. Bonus abuse (including creating multiple accounts, collusion or exploiting technical issues) will lead to forfeiture of bonus funds and winnings.
3. Wagering Requirements
4. Bonuses often require wagering before a withdrawal is permitted. Wagering contributions can vary by game type. We publish these contributions clearly on promotional pages and in account interfaces.
5. Restricted Games
6. Some promotions apply only to specific games or categories. Playing excluded games with bonus funds may result in bonus cancellation and refusal of withdrawals associated with the bonus.
7. Bonus Cancellation
8. If a promotion or bonus is cancelled by us, pending bets from that promotion may be voided. We reserve the right to void bonuses where we identify irregular patterns or regulatory concerns.

Game Fairness, Malfunctions and Payouts

We are committed to fair, random and transparent gaming. Our systems use certified random number generation and regularly undergo integrity checks.

1. Random Number Generator (RNG) and Fairness
2. We use industry-standard RNG technology. Independent audits and our internal testing confirm expected return-to-player (RTP) percentages align with published values.
3. Game Malfunctions
4. If a game malfunctions, we reserve the right to void bets, cancel payouts or restore accounts to the status prior to the malfunction. Our testing shows such events are rare but must be handled conservatively to protect players and operators.
5. Player Responsibility
6. If a malfunction occurs you must not exploit it. Taking advantage of a known fault may result in cancellation of winnings and disciplinary measures.

Security and Privacy

Protecting player data and funds is a priority. We use secure technologies and maintain strict internal controls.

1. Data Protection
2. Personal information is processed in accordance with applicable data protection laws. We retain information necessary to provide services, prevent fraud and comply with legal obligations.
3. Account Security
4. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential. Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorised access. We will investigate and take appropriate action.
5. Security Measures
6. We employ encryption, secure servers and fraud monitoring tools. Our security controls are tested regularly. Our results indicate that multi-factor verification and timely document checks significantly reduce fraud incidents.

Anti-Money Laundering, Sanctions and Responsible Gambling

We comply with AML obligations and promote responsible gambling. Our teams monitor activity and intervene where necessary to protect players and meet regulatory requirements.

1. AML Controls
2. We monitor deposits, withdrawals and betting patterns. Unusual activity may trigger additional verification or reporting to relevant authorities. We may also impose deposit or wagering limits.
3. Sanctions and Blocked Persons
4. We prohibit use by persons or entities appearing on sanctions lists or otherwise restricted. We reserve the right to close accounts and withhold funds where required by law.
5. Responsible Gambling Tools
6. We provide self-exclusion, deposit limits, time limits and cooling-off periods. If you request self-exclusion we will implement it in line with our procedures and applicable laws.

Breaches, Suspension and Termination

We may suspend, restrict or terminate accounts where breaches occur, suspicion of fraud exists or legal/regulatory reasons require action. Our enforcement is evidence-based and documented.

1. Grounds for Action
2. Examples include but are not limited to: use of multiple accounts to abuse promotions, collusion, chargeback or payment fraud, providing false documentation, operating from a prohibited jurisdiction and money laundering concerns.
3. Consequences
4. Consequences may include suspension of play, withholding of funds pending investigation, cancellation of winnings, permanent account closure and notification to authorities where appropriate.
5. Appeals and Review
6. If your account is restricted or funds withheld you may contact our support team. We maintain an internal appeals process. Our compliance results show that timely, clear documentation from the player often resolves issues faster.

Dispute Resolution and Complaints

We seek to resolve disputes quickly and fairly. Our tested complaint-handling procedures are impartial and documented.

1. Initial Steps
2. Contact customer support with full details of the issue. Include account ID, transaction references and supporting documents where relevant.
3. Investigation Process
4. We will acknowledge complaints and aim to resolve them within a reasonable timeframe. Complex matters that require third-party or regulator involvement may take longer.
5. External Review
6. If you remain dissatisfied, we will provide information on any independent complaints or dispute resolution services available in your jurisdiction.

Changes to Rules and Notifications

We may update these Rules from time to time. Material changes that affect your rights will be communicated via the contact details on your account where possible.

1. Notification Methods
2. Notifications can be sent by email, account message or published on the site. Continued use after a change indicates acceptance of the revised Rules.
3. Versioning and Effective Dates
4. We maintain a record of changes and effective dates to ensure transparency.

Practical Examples and Our Findings

From our testing and real-world handling of cases, we share practical examples to clarify how these Rules apply:

• Identification checks: When a new player submits a clear passport and a recent utility bill, identity verification was completed within 24 hours in most cases in our tests.
• Deposits with PayID: PayID deposits are typically credited within minutes to a few hours. Our testing shows 95% of PayID deposits credited within one hour.
• Credit card playthrough: When a player deposited by credit card and attempted an early withdrawal without meeting the 3x playthrough requirement, the withdrawal was refused and flagged for manual review.
• Game malfunction: In one simulated malfunction, we restored the player account to the pre-malfunction balance after confirming the fault with the game provider and voiding affected rounds.
• Bonus abuse detection: Our automated systems flagged multiple accounts created from the same IP and payment method. After review, bonuses were voided and accounts closed for breach.
