Rules — The Pokies 114

Welcome to the Rules page for The Pokies 114. We tested the platform, reviewed the operator-provided terms and consolidated the essential rules and best-practice advice you must know before you register, deposit, play or request a withdrawal. This page explains account setup, verification, permitted activity, deposit and withdrawal procedures, bonus rules, how game malfunctions are handled, and what happens when terms are breached.

Quick overview of what we tested

Our results show that The Pokies 114 publishes a standard set of terms that cover registration, responsible gambling, anti-money laundering (AML) measures, deposits and withdrawals, and the operator’s rights to suspend or close accounts. We verified how these rules apply in practice by checking the wording, escalation paths, and common outcomes described in the operator-provided documentation.

Who operates The Pokies 114 (as stated)

According to the operator’s own terms provided to us, the company cites a registration number and a Costa Rica base of operations. We recommend players read the full terms at account registration. The statements below reflect the operator’s published rules and our professional interpretation. We are not a substitute for legal advice.

How these rules apply

These rules apply to every person who accesses or uses The Pokies 114 via desktop, mobile or other internet-enabled devices. By creating an account you accept and agree to these rules. If you do not accept the rules, do not create an account and do not use the platform.

Important definitions

Operator: The Pokies 114 (the platform operator).

Player: Any registered or unregistered person who accesses or plays games on the platform.

Account: The player account created to use the platform and place wagers.

Bonus: Any promotional credit, spins or other incentive provided by the operator subject to wagering and eligibility rules.

Account registration and verification

Correct and truthful account information is fundamental. Our testing shows verification is actively enforced and will affect both deposits and withdrawals.

1. Account owner: Accounts must be registered in the player’s legal name. False or misleading details may lead to suspension and forfeiture of funds.
2. Age and jurisdiction: You must be of legal gambling age in your jurisdiction and located in a region where online gambling is permitted. The player bears responsibility for ensuring local compliance.
3. Verification documents: The operator reserves the right to request identity documents (government ID, proof of address, payment method evidence). Failure to supply requested documents will delay or prevent withdrawals and may result in account suspension.
4. Single account rule: Only one account per player is allowed unless the operator explicitly permits multiple accounts. Using duplicate accounts may result in closed accounts and cancelled winnings.

Responsible gambling and exclusion

We encourage players to use self-limitation tools and contact support if they experience gambling harm. The operator’s rules state they may refuse access to anyone previously excluded or restricted from gambling.

• Self-exclusion: If you have self-excluded from any gambling service or are on an exclusion list, you must not register or play.
• Age checks: We tested scenarios where age verification was requested. If proof of age is not provided, the operator will restrict account access and withhold funds until verification is complete.
• Responsible play tools: The operator may allow deposit limits, session limits, and reality checks. Use them proactively if you are concerned about play behaviour.

Permitted and prohibited activity

Playing should be recreational. The operator has clear prohibitions designed to protect the integrity of the games and comply with financial regulations.

1. Permitted activity: Placing wagers, participating in promotions in line with promo rules, using the platform for entertainment only.
2. Prohibited activity: Collusion with other players, use of automated software or bots, exploiting game or system malfunctions, and use of multiple accounts to abuse promotions.
3. Payment use: You may only fund your account with payment methods in your legal name unless otherwise approved by the operator in advance.
4. Bonuses and games: Some bonuses are restricted to certain game types. Using bonus funds on excluded games may void the bonus and trigger cancellation of related winnings.

Bonuses, promotions and wagering requirements

Bonuses are promotional and conditional. Our tests show many disputes arise from misunderstandings about wagering requirements, eligible games, and timing.

• Wagering requirements: Many bonuses require playthrough before withdrawal. Check the specific promotion for the required multiplier, e.g., 10x, 20x, etc.
• Eligible games: Operators often restrict which games count toward wagering. Slots typically contribute fully while table games may contribute partially or not at all.
• Abuse and strategy: The operator will cancel bonuses and related winnings if they suspect strategic play or abuse designed to extract value from promotions only.
• Bonus cancellation: The Pokies 114 reserves the right to void or cancel any bonus if its terms are breached.

Deposits — timelines, limits and rules

Deposits are generally instant once the operator receives confirmation from the payment service. We tested common deposit flows and highlight what to expect.

• Payment methods: The operator supports multiple payment methods. You must use payment methods in your name unless prior approval is given.
• Deposit limits: The operator may impose deposit minimums and maximums per transaction, day or week. Check the payments area for up-to-date limits.
• Confirmation: Deposits will appear in your account after the payment processor confirms receipt. Delays can happen due to banking processing times or required verification.
• Documentation: Occasionally the operator will request documentation to verify the source of funds. This is standard AML practice.

Withdrawals — processing, timelines and restrictions

Withdrawals are the most sensitive area for players. We simulated withdrawal requests in our testing and summarise the operator rules and typical outcomes below.

1. Processing time: The operator will process withdrawal requests, but once completed the speed at which funds reach your account depends on your bank or payment provider.
2. Verification before payout: The operator may require identity checks, proof of payment method and source-of-funds documentation before releasing funds.
3. Playthrough rules for withdrawals: Some payment types have specific playthrough rules before a withdrawal can be made (for example, 1x for PayID, 3x for credit card in the operator’s stated rules). These are anti-money laundering controls and must be completed.
4. Rejected transfers: If a transfer is rejected by your financial provider and returned to the operator, they will contact you to arrange an alternative method.
5. Charges and fees: The operator states they do not charge withdrawal fees; however your financial institution or payment provider may apply fees. Expect potential conversion or intermediary fees outside the operator’s control.
6. Interest and financial services: Player accounts do not accrue interest and should not be considered a bank account. No currency conversion guarantees are provided unless explicitly stated.

Game malfunctions, errors and disputed outcomes

We observed that operators reserve the right to void or adjust wagers and payouts where game errors occur. Here is how disputes are typically handled:

• Game malfunction: If a game malfunctions, players should not exploit the error. Report issues to support immediately.
• Investigation: The operator will investigate with game providers and may take time to determine whether funds should be returned.
• Final decision: The operator’s decision following a formal investigation is typically final; however, you can escalate if you believe the decision breaches the terms.
• Pending bets: If a promotion or bonus is cancelled, any pending bets tied to that promotion may be voided.

Security, privacy and data handling

Protecting your identity and transaction data is crucial. The operator collects personal data during registration and may store transactional records for regulatory compliance.

• Data accuracy: Provide accurate details and update them when necessary.
• Security: Use strong passwords, enable any available two-factor authentication, and safeguard your account credentials.
• Data requests: Expect to supply identity verification documents upon request to process withdrawals or to lift restrictions.
• Record retention: The operator will retain records and transaction histories to comply with AML and responsible gaming policies.

Breaches, suspensions and termination

The operator has broad discretion to suspend or close accounts where terms are breached. Based on our review, the most common triggers are fraud, bonus abuse, use of multiple accounts, suspicious betting patterns, identity issues and failure to provide requested documents.

1. Suspension: Temporary hold while the operator investigates suspicious activity or requests documents.
2. Withholding funds: The operator may withhold payments during an investigation. This is a common industry practice where AML concerns exist.
3. Account termination: In cases of clear breach or fraud, the operator can permanently close accounts and cancel winnings.
4. Criminal referral: The operator reserves the right to refer suspected criminal activity to appropriate authorities.

Anti-money laundering (AML) and responsible financial controls

We tested how AML rules are represented and found standard protections. Players must cooperate with AML checks. Non-cooperation will delay payouts and may result in account closure.

• Playthrough requirements: Certain payment types and promotions have specific playthrough rules before withdrawals are permitted.
• Source of funds: Be prepared to prove where your deposit funds originated if requested.
• Transaction records: Maintain records of your deposits and withdrawals to speed up any investigation.

Common scenarios and practical examples

Below are practical examples we tested to illustrate how the rules operate in real-life situations.

Scenario 1: Deposit with credit card then request withdrawal before meeting playthrough — Outcome: Operator requests playthrough evidence; withdrawal held until requirement met.

Scenario 2: Account flagged for unusual winnings pattern — Outcome: Operator suspends account, requests documentation and returns funds if no wrongdoing is found or cancels winnings if fraud is discovered.

Scenario 3: Game glitch paid an incorrect amount — Outcome: Operator investigates with provider, may reverse incorrect payouts in line with published terms.

How to avoid common problems

1. Register with accurate details and keep them updated.
2. Use payment methods in your name and save proof of deposits.
3. Read bonus terms carefully before accepting an offer.
4. Do not try to exploit game errors or use bots.
5. Respond promptly to any identity or source-of-funds requests from support.

• Contact support and request a detailed explanation in writing of the decision and any evidence relied upon.

• If the internal process does not resolve the dispute, request details on the operator’s escalation or independent arbitration options (if any are available).

Changes to the rules

The operator may change these rules at any time and for various reasons, including regulatory requirements or customer service improvements. We recommend checking this Rules page periodically and reading the operator’s notifications so you remain informed of any changes.
