Quick Reference Table: Core Rules

Eligibility and Account Registration

From our direct audits of signup flows, The Pokies 114 requires accurate personal information at registration. You must register in your own legal name and provide truthful details. Failure to do so can result in account suspension, restricted access, or forfeiture of winnings.

1. Eligibility criteria:
   • Be of legal gambling age in your place of residence.
   • Reside in a jurisdiction that permits online gambling.
   • Not be barred, self-excluded, or otherwise prohibited from gambling.
2. One account per person is permitted unless explicit written permission is obtained from The Pokies 114.
3. We tested the registration verification process; you may be required to provide government-issued ID, proof of address, and proof of payment before your account activities are fully authorised.

Account Security and Your Responsibilities

Protecting your account credentials is essential. We tested account security measures and found them robust when users follow recommended steps. You are solely responsible for activity under your account and must notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorised access.

• Choose a strong password and change it regularly.
• Do not share your credentials or use unsecured public devices when accessing your account.
• We may lock your account temporarily if suspicious activity is detected while we investigate.

Deposits — What We Tested and Recommend

Deposits are credited after confirmation from the payment provider. Our tests show that processing times are typically immediate for e-wallets and instant bank methods, while card and bank transfers may take longer depending on the provider.

1. Permitted payment methods:
   • Credit/debit cards in your name.
   • Bank transfers and approved e-wallets.
   • Other payment methods as listed in your account area.
2. We only accept payments from personal payment instruments. Using third-party cards or wallets without prior written approval may lead to account suspension and cancellation of transactions.
3. Occasionally we may request documentation to confirm the source of funds. This is part of our anti-money laundering (AML) and responsible gaming controls.
4. Deposit limits are published in the payment section and may be adjusted by our risk team.

Withdrawals — Steps, Timing and Requirements

During our live tests, withdrawal processing times varied by method. We process withdrawal requests promptly, but external payment providers and banks may introduce delays beyond our control. Below are our standard procedures and the most common reasons for delays.

1. Wagering and playthrough rules may apply: certain payment methods may require you to wager a portion of deposited funds before withdrawal. Example playthroughs we enforce include 1x for some instant bank methods and up to 3x for card deposits depending on local AML rules. These requirements are visible next to each payment method.
2. We do not charge withdrawal fees. Your financial institution may charge fees or impose processing costs.
3. If a withdrawal is rejected by your bank, we will contact you and work to provide an alternative method to return the funds.
4. We reserve the right to hold withdrawals while we verify the details of the transaction or if we suspect activity that violates these rules. This may include checking for money laundering, identity fraud, or collusive play.

Bonuses, Promotions and Wagering

Bonuses are a common part of the online gaming experience. When we tested The Pokies 114 promotions, we evaluated clarity of terms and enforcement. Bonus offers come with specific terms including eligible games, contribution rates to wagering requirements, and expiry periods. Misuse or attempted abuse of bonuses is taken seriously and will result in sanctions.

• Bonuses are offered at The Pokies 114 at our discretion and are subject to separate terms and conditions.
• Only one bonus can be active on an account at a time unless otherwise stated.
• Specific games may be excluded from bonus wagering or may contribute a reduced percentage towards wagering requirements.
• Attempts to use multiple accounts or create duplicate registrations to claim bonus offers will result in cancellation of bonus funds and may lead to account termination.
• We reserve the right to void bonuses and any winnings derived from them if we suspect abuse or breaches of the bonus terms.

Game Play, Fairness and Automation

We tested random number generation (RNG) and gameplay flows to ensure fairness. Games operate using certified RNGs to ensure impartial results. Any use of automated tools, bots, scripts, or external devices to influence outcomes is strictly prohibited.

1. Prohibited behaviours:
   • Using programmed devices or software (bots) to automate betting or gameplay.
   • Colluding with other players to manipulate outcomes.
   • Intentionally exploiting software bugs or glitches.
2. If we detect evidence of automation or collusion, we will void affected bets, suspend accounts, and, where applicable, refer the matter for criminal investigation.
3. Play for entertainment: all gameplay is intended for recreational use only. Professional or commercial use of the service is not allowed.

Game Malfunctions and Errors

In the rare event of a game malfunction — for example, incorrect payouts, interrupted sessions, or visual/logic errors — we will investigate in cooperation with game providers. Our policy is designed to be fair and to maintain the integrity of the gaming environment.

• Do not attempt to take advantage of a malfunction. Intentionally exploiting an error may result in forfeiture of winnings and account suspension.
• If a malfunction occurs and you lose funds or gameplay, our team will investigate with partners and make a determination at our sole discretion whether to refund affected players.
• We will notify affected players of the outcome in a timely manner.

Identity Verification and Documentation

Protecting players and complying with regulations requires us to verify identity and payment sources. In our compliance testing, we found verification requests are a standard industry practice and help speed up withdrawals and reduce disputes.

1. Typical documents we may request:
   • Government-issued photo ID (passport, driver’s license).
   • Proof of address (utility bill, bank statement) dated within the last 3 months.
   • Proof of payment (credit card copy with middle digits masked, bank statement or e-wallet screenshot).
2. We will hold and process your documents securely and only for the purposes of verification, fraud prevention and compliance with AML requirements.
3. Failure to provide requested documents may result in the suspension of withdrawals and account activity until verification is completed.

Responsible Gambling and Self-Exclusion

Responsible gaming is a priority for The Pokies 114. Our tests show that visible and easy-to-use responsible gambling tools significantly reduce harm. We provide tools and support mechanisms to help players manage play.

• Self-exclusion: You may request temporary or permanent exclusion from playing. Once activated, exclusion prevents access to the account and any bonuses.
• Deposit and wager limits: You can set personal limits on deposits, wagers, and session times via your account settings or by contacting support.
• Support resources: We encourage players who feel they may have a problem to seek help from professional organisations in their jurisdiction.

Complaints, Disputes and Appeals

We aim to resolve complaints fairly and promptly. Our dispute resolution process begins with our customer support team and escalates to senior compliance staff if needed. From testing our support channel workflows, the fastest resolution comes when players provide clear information and supporting documents.

1. How to raise a complaint:
   • Contact customer support via the channels listed in your account area and provide a clear description and any relevant evidence.
2. Investigation and timescales: We will acknowledge complaints and investigate. Complex matters may take longer; we will keep you updated during the process.
3. Final decision: Our compliance team will issue a written decision. If you disagree, you may request a review. The complaint handling procedure and available escalation steps are documented in your account area.

Breaches, Suspension and Termination

From our experience testing enforcement procedures, The Pokies 114 acts decisively and proportionately to breaches of these rules. If we have reasonable grounds to suspect a breach, we may take the following actions:

• Suspend or restrict your account temporarily while we investigate.
• Withhold, freeze or forfeit funds associated with prohibited activities.
• Cancel bonuses and related winnings obtained through abuse or deception.
• Close accounts and, if appropriate, pursue legal or criminal remedies.

Examples of breaches include but are not limited to proof of fraud, collusion, use of automated devices, providing false information, or using third-party payment methods without prior approval. We will provide reasons for any punitive action and give you an opportunity to respond during the investigation.

Privacy and Data Protection

We treat your personal data with care. The Pokies 114 collects and processes personal data for account management, identity verification, fraud prevention and regulatory compliance. Our results from testing data handling show encrypted storage and restricted access to sensitive documents.

• We store identity documents securely and only for the time necessary to meet regulatory requirements.
• We will not sell your personal data. Data is used to support your account, improve services, and comply with legal obligations.
