Rules — The Pokies 114

Welcome to the Rules page for The Pokies 114. These rules govern access to and use of our gaming platform. We tested our internal processes and reviewed dozens of customer scenarios; our results show the policies below are designed to protect players, maintain fair play and comply with regulatory and anti-money laundering standards. By opening or using an account you agree to these rules in full.

1. General

The Pokies 114 operates as an online gaming operator registered with a corporate registration number and headquartered in accordance with our company filings. These rules apply to all players who access our games through desktop, mobile and other internet-enabled devices.

These Rules are legally binding. When you register an account, you accept these Terms in full. If you do not agree with any part of these Rules you must stop using The Pokies 114 immediately.

We reserve the right to amend these Rules at any time for reasons including but not limited to regulatory requirements, customer service improvements or technical updates. Where possible we will notify registered users of material changes.

2. Eligibility and Responsible Use

Before you play you must confirm that you meet our eligibility requirements. We tested account verifications during onboarding and our results show this process ensures compliance and protects responsible players.

1. You must be of legal gambling age in your country of residence. If your local law sets a higher minimum age, that higher age applies.
2. You must not be located in a jurisdiction where online gambling is prohibited. It is your responsibility to ensure access from your location is lawful.
3. You must not be self-excluded from gambling, nor have any account closed by The Pokies 114 previously for breach of rules.
4. Accounts must be registered in your personal name. Using false or misleading information is prohibited.
5. You must use the account for non-professional, recreational play only.

3. Account Opening and Verification

Our onboarding process balances speed with security. We tested verification flows across the most common identity documents and found the average approval time falls within the times listed below, subject to document quality and third-party checks.

When opening an account we will ask for personal information such as your full name, date of birth, email address and phone number. These details must be accurate. We may request documents to verify your identity, address and the source of funds.

4. Deposits

Deposits to your account are credited once we receive confirmation from the payment provider or virtual currency wallet. We tested multiple payment rails and found most deposits are reflected instantly, while some bank transfer methods may take longer.

1. Use only payment methods in your name. Using third-party cards or wallets without prior written approval from The Pokies 114 is not permitted.
2. Deposit limits may apply depending on the payment method. Detailed limits are available in the payments section of your account.
3. We may request documentation showing the source of deposited funds for AML compliance. Failure to provide requested documents may lead to account restrictions or funds being held pending investigation.

5. Withdrawals

We prioritise timely payouts. Based on our testing, typical processing times and rules are described below.

1. We will attempt to process withdrawals as soon as possible after your request. Some withdrawals require completion of identity checks before release.
2. Once we process a payout, the time taken for funds to reach you is outside The Pokies 114’s control. We will provide transaction references on request.
3. If a withdrawal is rejected or returned by your financial institution, we will contact you and work to find an alternate method to return the funds.
4. Minimum play-through requirements may apply based on payment method to comply with anti-money laundering rules. Example: 1x play-through on PayID, 3x on credit card deposits (these are examples; check your account terms for exact amounts).
5. We do not charge withdrawal fees but your bank or payment provider may apply their own fees.

6. Bonuses, Promotions and Bonus Abuse

Bonuses and promotions are offered at our discretion. We tested typical bonus workflows and monitored how wagering requirements interact with game weightings to ensure fairness and clarity for players.

1. Bonus eligibility: Only one account per player is usually permitted for promotional offers, unless explicitly allowed by The Pokies 114.
2. Game restrictions: Some promotions only apply to specific game types. Playing excluded games with bonus funds may lead to denied withdrawals.
3. Abuse of bonuses: If we have reasonable grounds to believe a player is using strategies, multiple accounts, bots or refunds to obtain unfair advantage, we reserve the right to void bonuses and cancel winnings.
4. Forced play strategies: Using deterministic or minimal-risk betting strategies to meet wagering requirements is prohibited when done specifically to exploit bonus conditions. If detected, related winnings may be forfeited.
5. Promotional changes: We may limit or cancel promotions at any time and will apply promotional terms as published when the bonus is issued.

7. Fair Play, Collusion and Automation

We are committed to maintaining a fair gaming environment. Our tests of game integrity and bot-detection systems show high accuracy at detecting automated play and collusion patterns.

1. Collusion is forbidden. Coordinated play or sharing of strategy among multiple accounts to gain an advantage will result in account closure and confiscation of winnings.
2. Automated play using bots, scripts, macros or any programmed devices is strictly prohibited. Evidence of automation will lead to voiding of bets and closures.
3. If a game malfunction occurs, we will investigate. We expect players not to exploit visible or latent malfunctions. Exploitation may result in forfeited winnings.

8. Game Malfunctions and Errors

Despite rigorous testing and certification of our games, unexpected errors can occur. We operate with certified game providers and independent auditors to minimise faults.

1. If a game malfunctions (display errors, incorrect paytables, server faults), The Pokies 114 reserves the right to void affected bets or adjust balances to the correct state.
2. We will investigate suspected malfunctions and, where appropriate, reverse transactions or reinstate balances. Time to resolve varies by complexity and third-party involvement.
3. Players should not attempt to exploit malfunctions. Doing so may lead to suspension and forfeiture of balances.

9. Security, Data and Privacy

We protect player data using industry standard security measures. Our security and privacy teams continuously test systems to ensure data protection.

1. Keep your account credentials confidential. You are responsible for all activity on your account.
2. We use encryption and secure data handling practices. We may share necessary personal information with third-party providers for verification and payment processing, subject to our privacy policy.
3. If you suspect unauthorised access, contact support immediately. We tested incident response times and maintain a priority process for suspected fraud.

10. Breaches, Suspension and Termination

We take breaches seriously. Our investigations combine automated analytics and human review to make robust decisions.

1. On reasonable suspicion of breach of these Rules, The Pokies 114 may suspend accounts, freeze funds and initiate an investigation.
2. If the investigation confirms a breach, we may withhold funds, cancel winnings, or close the account permanently. Criminal activity will be reported to relevant authorities.
3. If you breach rules inadvertently and we can validate your claim, we will work to resolve matters and return legitimate funds where appropriate.

11. Responsible Gambling and Self-Exclusion

We encourage safe play. Our responsible gambling features include deposit and loss limits, session reminders and self-exclusion. From our tests, early-intervention messages significantly reduce problematic play patterns.

1. You can set limits on deposits, wagers and session times in your account settings or via support.
2. Self-exclusion requests are respected across our platform. If you self-exclude, you will be unable to access your account for the chosen period.
3. If you or someone you know needs help, we provide resources and can direct you to professional support services.

12. Disputes and Customer Support

We aim for transparency and timely resolution of disputes. Our customer support team is trained and our escalation procedures are documented. We tested typical complaint flows to ensure timely responses.

1. Submit disputes with supporting evidence. We will acknowledge receipt and provide regular updates during the investigation.
2. If a dispute cannot be resolved directly, you may be able to escalate to an independent dispute resolution body as described in our regulatory disclosures.

13. Examples and Practical Scenarios (What You Can Expect)

Below are real-world scenarios based on our testing to clarify how Rules are applied.

• If you deposit with a credit card and request a withdrawal within 24 hours, we may require a play-through of the deposited amount (e.g. 3x) before releasing funds.
• If you attempt to use the same card on multiple newly-created accounts, our checks will flag this and accounts may be suspended and winnings voided.
• If a slot game displays an incorrect jackpot due to a provider fault, we will investigate and correct balances. We may void bets placed during the error window.
• If you request a withdrawal and we ask for proof of address, providing a recent utility bill or bank statement typically resolves the hold within 1–5 business days.
