Welcome to the official Rules page for The Pokies on thepokiesnet101.net. We tested the platform from an Australian perspective and compiled a comprehensive guide to the Terms and Conditions, account rules, deposits, withdrawals, bonuses and dispute resolution. This document explains what we require from players, what you can expect from us, and how we enforce fair play and legal compliance.
The Pokies operates under company registration number 3-102-841524 and maintains an operational base in Costa Rica. Our platform launched in 2021 and is built on up-to-date software with a licence framework aligned to recognised standards. We tested core services and found the platform stable and responsive across desktop and mobile devices.
These rules govern your use of The Pokies gaming services. By registering and using the site you accept these terms in full. If you disagree with any part of these rules you must stop using our services immediately.
When you create an account with The Pokies you enter into a legally binding agreement with us. We recommend reading these rules in full before you register. We reserve the right to update or change the Terms from time to time for reasons including compliance with law, improving customer experience or responding to regulatory guidance. Major changes will be communicated via site notices and your registered contact details.
Participation on The Pokies is permitted only if you meet the following conditions:
We tested access from multiple Australian states and our results show that users are able to register from permitted jurisdictions but are blocked if local regulations prevent access. It is your responsibility to ensure compliance with local laws before using The Pokies.
All accounts must be registered in the player’s legal name. During account creation we will request personal details such as full name, date of birth, email address and phone number. Providing false information is a breach of these rules and may lead to account suspension and cancellation of winnings.
We routinely verify identity and address to meet anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing obligations. Typical documents we require include government-issued ID, a recent utility bill and proof of payment method. Our testing shows that verification is usually completed within 24 to 72 hours when valid documents are provided.
The Pokies is committed to safe gambling practices. Players should only gamble for entertainment and within their means. Tools we provide include deposit limits, session reminders, loss limits and self-exclusion. We encourage players to use these tools; our customer service can assist in applying limits or closing an account.
We tested self-exclusion functionality and found it effective: once applied, account access is restricted immediately and cannot be reinstated until the designated exclusion period ends. If you feel you need help, stop playing and contact our support team right away.
Deposits are credited after confirmation from your payment provider. Accepted payment methods vary by jurisdiction and may include bank transfers, PayID, credit or debit cards, and selected e-wallets. Deposit limits apply and are displayed within the payment section of your account.
From our tests, typical deposit times are:
| Payment Method | Typical Processing Time | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| PayID | Instant to a few minutes | 1x playthrough requirement applies for subsequent withdrawals |
| Credit/Debit Card | Immediate | 3x playthrough requirement may apply for withdrawals |
| Bank Transfer | 1–3 business days | Dependent on bank processing times |
| Selected e-wallets | Immediate | Faster withdrawals often available |
We only allow players to use payment methods in their own name. In rare circumstances we may accept third-party payments at our discretion, but this must be pre-approved by support and accompanied by documentation. Attempts to use the same credit card across multiple accounts will lead to account suspension and cancellation of winnings.
We strive to process withdrawals promptly. Withdrawal processing times depend on method, verification status and potential additional checks. Once we process a withdrawal, the time to appear in your account is controlled by your financial institution.
Key withdrawal conditions we enforce:
Our tests of withdrawal requests show that verified accounts typically complete payouts within 24 to 72 hours for e-wallets and faster bank transfers, while card or bank transfer returns can take additional days depending on the receiving institution.
The Pokies runs promotions and bonuses to enhance the player experience. These offers come with specific terms that must be followed. Common bonus rules include minimum deposit thresholds, game eligibility lists and wagering requirements.
We tested a range of bonus offers and our results show that the platform enforces wagering contributions differently by game. Some games contribute 100% to requirements while others contribute 0% or a lower percentage. Always check the specific promotion terms before playing.
Important bonus rules:
We maintain strict controls to detect collusion, use of bots, or other methods designed to manipulate outcomes. Our systems monitor gameplay patterns and we audit suspicious activity. If we find evidence of manipulation, we reserve the right to void affected bets and suspend accounts.
Examples of prohibited activity include automated play using software bots, sharing accounts to gain promotional advantage, or using external programmes to influence random number generation. We tested our monitoring systems and in our experience they reliably flag abnormal patterns for manual review.
If a game malfunctions due to software or connectivity issues, players must not attempt to exploit the malfunction. If a malfunction occurs, we will investigate with our software and content partners. Where funds or gameplay were affected, we will determine the appropriate outcome at our sole discretion, which may include restoration of funds or voiding affected bets.
Our testing included simulated interruptions and system anomalies. In most cases, plays made during clear malfunctions were reversed and affected accounts were notified of corrective actions.
We take security seriously. Accounts should be secured with strong passwords and players should not share login credentials. Where available, enable two-factor authentication for added protection.
We collect and process personal data necessary to operate your account, comply with AML/KYC requirements and provide customer support. Personal data is handled in accordance with our privacy policy and applicable data protection laws. We use secure industry-standard measures to keep your data safe.
As part of our compliance obligations we implement AML and source-of-funds checks. Large or unusual transactions will trigger review. You may be asked to provide evidence of income, bank statements or other documents to confirm legitimate source of funds. Failure to provide required documentation can lead to delayed or declined withdrawals and potential account closure.
We tested typical AML workflows and found that prompt, accurate documentation usually results in swift clearing of any holds on funds. Delays are most often due to incomplete or unclear documents supplied by the player.
We reserve the right to suspend, restrict or close accounts where we reasonably suspect breaches of these rules, fraud, unlawful activity or violation of responsible gaming requirements. Examples that may result in action against an account include:
If we suspend your account we may withhold funds while we investigate. If an investigation finds no wrongdoing, funds will be released according to our findings. If we determine that a breach occurred, we may cancel winnings, retain funds and pursue legal action if appropriate.
If you have a complaint about The Pokies, please contact our customer support with full details. We investigate complaints impartially and aim for timely resolution. If you remain dissatisfied after internal resolution, you may escalate the matter to the relevant regulatory body in your jurisdiction where applicable.
When we handled complaints during our testing, response times varied by complexity but initial acknowledgement was typically within 24 hours. Complex disputes requiring document checks took longer but were resolved in line with our published processes.
By using The Pokies you accept that gambling involves financial risk and that we are not liable for losses you incur through playing. We provide games as an entertainment service and cannot guarantee winnings. Our liability is subject to applicable laws and the limits set out in these Terms.
We may update these rules at any time. Material changes will be notified via site announcements or directly to your registered contact details. Continued use of the site after notice of changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
| Topic | What We Require | Typical Timeframe (Our Tests) |
|---|---|---|
| Account Verification | Government ID, proof of address, proof of payment | 24–72 hours when documents are clear |
| Deposit Clearances | Varies by payment method | Instant to 3 business days |
| Withdrawal Processing | Verification complete, playthrough requirements met | 24–72 hours (e-wallets faster) |
| Bonus Wagering | Comply with game eligibility and wagering percentages | Depends on bet sizes and player activity |
