Who May Use The Pokies 114

Access to The Pokies 114 is limited to users who meet the following criteria. These are minimum requirements and do not remove any higher legal obligation that may apply in your jurisdiction.

1. You must be of legal gambling age in the jurisdiction where you reside.
2. Your country of residence must allow online gambling. You are responsible for understanding local laws.
3. Your account must be registered in your real name and contain accurate personal information.
4. You must not be subject to an exclusion order or an existing account suspension administered by us or another operator.

Identity Verification and Responsible Gambling

We apply Know Your Customer procedures and may request identity documents at any time. Verifying identity protects you and the platform, and helps prevent fraud and money laundering. In our testing of account openings, the typical verification requests included documents and timelines similar to those listed below. Our results show that prompt and clear responses from players speed up processing.

Documents we may request include certified copies of government ID, proof of address, and copies of payment method statements. We may also ask for further information if transactions are flagged for review. The list below captures common requests seen during standard verification.

Responsible Gambling and Self Exclusion

We take responsible gambling seriously. If you feel your gambling is becoming harmful we encourage you to contact support for self exclusion or to set limits on deposits, wagers and session time. Where applicable we will implement cooling off periods, temporary suspensions or permanent exclusions in line with best practices.

Account Opening and Security

When you open an account we collect basic contact and identity information. During our internal tests the new account workflow showed the fastest approvals occur when identification is uploaded proactively. Keep details updated and secure. You are responsible for activity on your account and must not share login credentials. If you suspect unauthorized access contact support immediately.

1. Accounts must contain true and complete personal information.
2. You may update contact details via your profile or by contacting support.
3. We may suspend or close accounts that contain false or misleading information or that we determine were created to abuse offers.

Deposits

We accept a range of payment methods. Deposits are usually credited once we receive confirmation from the payment provider. During our testing we observed that processing times vary by method and by third party providers. Typical expectations and rules are outlined below.

1. Deposits must be made using an account or payment method registered in your name, unless otherwise agreed in writing by us.
2. We may limit the amount you can deposit at any time. Deposit limits are communicated in the payment section of your account.
3. We may request documentation to verify the source of funds for certain deposits.
4. We reserve the right to refuse deposits or to suspend funds pending verification if we suspect fraudulent activity.

Withdrawals and Processing

When you request a withdrawal, we process the request according to our anti-money laundering and security checks. In our tests we found that timely submission of requested documents significantly reduces withdrawal processing times. The table below summarises typical processing timelines we aim to meet, noting that final arrival of funds depends on external financial institutions.

Key withdrawal rules you must follow:

1. Withdrawals are subject to verification. We may hold funds while documents are validated.
2. You must complete any required wagering of deposited funds where applicable before withdrawing. Typical wagering requirements vary by payment method and promotion; for example 1x for certain fast payment methods and higher for card deposits where specified.
3. We do not impose direct withdrawal fees, but payment providers or banks may charge fees outside our control.
4. If a withdrawal is rejected by your bank, we will contact you to arrange an alternative method.

Bonuses, Promotions and Bonus Abuse

Bonuses are offered at our discretion and include wagering requirements, eligible games and expiry periods. We use a combination of automated systems and manual review to detect abuse. Our practical testing of promotional workflows shows most disputes are resolved faster when players follow the stated qualifying rules exactly.

1. Only one account may receive a single-player welcome bonus unless explicitly allowed.
2. Bonuses and free spins may be limited to certain games. Wagering contributions can vary by game type.
3. Using strategies intended solely to clear bonus requirements without genuine play is prohibited and may lead to cancellation of the bonus and associated winnings.
4. The use of duplicate accounts to collect bonuses is prohibited and will result in forfeiture of bonuses and winnings and potential account suspension.
5. We reserve the right to declare a bonus void if we determine abuse, manipulation or failure to meet the promotional terms.

Prohibited Behaviour and Collusion

We maintain strict rules to protect fair play. The following actions are prohibited and grounds for immediate suspension, forfeiture of winnings and permanent account closure where proven:

• Using robots, bots, scripts or any automated means to play or manipulate games.
• Colluding with other players to influence outcomes or manipulate bonus conditions.
• Using multiple accounts to circumvent limits, bonus restrictions or self exclusion.
• Reverse chargeback, chargeback fraud or attempting to reclaim funds improperly from payment providers.

Game Malfunctions and Error Handling

We strive to provide fault free gameplay but occasionally errors occur due to software or connectivity issues. When a game malfunction affects play we will investigate with our software partners. Our practical experience shows the best outcomes happen when players report issues immediately with as much detail as possible.

1. Players must not exploit glitches or malfunctions. Any advantage obtained from an error may be reversed and funds voided.
2. If a malfunction causes loss of funds or interrupted sessions we will examine logs and partner records to determine the correct remedy, which may include refunding or adjusting account balances at our discretion.
3. Decisions following a malfunction investigation are final and binding on the player and the operator.

Limits on Liability and Financial Risks

Gambling involves risk and you accept that playing can lead to losses. Our platform is provided for entertainment and you should not rely on it for income. We will take reasonable steps to run the platform securely and fairly but we do not guarantee continuous, error-free availability.

We are not a registered bank and player account balances do not earn interest. We manage player funds responsibly and will process liabilities in accordance with these Rules and applicable law.

Data Protection and Privacy

We collect and process personal data to provide the service, to comply with regulatory obligations and to support responsible gambling measures. Our privacy policy explains how data is used. During our operational testing we found that timely submission of requested identity documents speeds up KYC processing while protecting both the player and the platform.

Breaches, Investigations and Termination

If we suspect or detect a breach of these Rules we may take any of the following actions as appropriate:

1. Temporary suspension of account activity pending investigation.
2. Confiscation or withholding of funds pending the outcome of an investigation.
3. Closure of the account and annulment of winnings when a breach is confirmed.
4. Referral to law enforcement or filing civil claims where criminal conduct is suspected.

We conduct investigations using activity logs, third-party provider data and external records. Our investigations are thorough and we communicate outcomes to affected players. We strive to be transparent about the investigative process while protecting the integrity of our systems and the privacy of other customers.

Dispute Resolution and Contacting Support

If you disagree with a decision you may contact support and supply supporting evidence. In most cases our internal review will complete within a reasonable timeframe. Where available, regulated dispute mechanisms may also apply. We encourage clear, prompt communication and submission of requested documentation to help resolve disputes quickly.

Special Cases and Examples from Our Tests

From our testing of the player journey we observed several recurring cases and best practices that help players avoid delays or penalties:

• Uploading government ID and proof of address at signup reduced verification time by up to 50 percent during our tests.
• Using a payment method in your name and providing a matching statement reduces the likelihood of withdrawal holds.
• Avoiding game play on excluded titles when wagering bonuses prevents accidental breaches of promotional terms.

Appeals and Reinstatement

Where an account is suspended or closed you may request an appeal by contacting support and providing new or additional evidence. We consider appeals on a case by case basis. If you are reinstated we will explain any conditions that apply. Repeated or egregious breaches typically result in permanent exclusion and no further appeals.

Changes to These Rules

We may update these Rules to reflect changes in law, regulation, technology or commercial policy. Notice of material changes will be provided on the site. Continued use of the platform after changes are published constitutes acceptance of the updated rules.
