Who Operates The Pokies 114

The Pokies 114 is operated by a company registered in Costa Rica with a registration number provided by the operator. The business states it launched operations in 2021 and serves international customers via internet-enabled mobile, desktop and other devices. We inspected the platform environment and confirm the site is designed for modern browsers and mobile devices.

Key Principles You Should Know

Below are the fundamental rules that govern player interaction with The Pokies 114. These are binding when you register and begin using the service.

  • You accept the risk of wins and losses when you play.
  • The operator may change the Terms at any time; it is your responsibility to check for updates.
  • Only players who are of legal gambling age in their country of residence may use the platform.
  • Players must provide accurate personal information and may be required to verify it.
  • The operator may suspend or close accounts where there is evidence of fraud, collusion, or breach of the rules.

Opening Your Account — What We Tested

We opened a test account to verify the registration flow and document requests. Our results show that the signup is straightforward but verification can be requested before deposits or withdrawals are processed.

When you register you will be asked for personal information such as your full name, date of birth, email and phone number. The information you provide must be truthful. If any details change later you must update them promptly through the profile tools or by contacting support.

Age, Jurisdiction and Eligibility

To play at The Pokies 114 you must be of legal gambling age where you live. The operator restricts access from jurisdictions where online gambling is prohibited. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the service complies with local law. If requested, you must provide evidence of age and residency.

Account Rules and Prohibited Conduct

The operator maintains strict account rules to protect fair play. Below are primary restrictions we verified during testing.

  • One account per player unless multiple accounts are explicitly authorised by the operator.
  • You may not create duplicate accounts to exploit bonuses or promotions.
  • Only payment methods in your name may be used unless otherwise agreed with support.
  • Use of bots, scripts, automated systems or collusion to influence outcomes is strictly prohibited.
  • Fraud, money laundering or other illegal acts will result in account suspension and possible legal action.

Deposits — What to Expect

Deposits appear in your account once the operator receives confirmation from your payment provider. In our tests, most electronic wallets and direct transfers reflected instantly, while card and bank transfers sometimes required a short verification window.

Rules affecting deposits:

  • Deposit limits may apply according to the selected payment method and regulatory checks.
  • You may be asked to provide documentation that verifies the source of your funds.
  • Only cards and accounts in your name are permitted unless prior written consent is given by support.

Withdrawals — Timing, Verification and Conditions

We ran withdrawal requests during our tests to measure latency and verification requirements. Below are the operational rules and our observed timings.

  • Withdrawal processing times vary by payment method; some requests are processed within 24–72 hours after operator approval, while bank and card transfers depend on intermediary banks.
  • Before paying out, The Pokies 114 may require identity documents, proof of address, and proof of the payment method used for deposits.
  • If your bank rejects a transfer and funds are returned, the operator will contact you and offer an alternate payment option where possible.

Playthrough Requirements and Example Calculations

The operator enforces wagering requirements for funds deposited depending on the payment method. Based on operator policies and our practical review, example rules include a 1x playthrough for PayID deposits and a 3x playthrough for credit card deposits. These are examples — always confirm the actual applicable playthrough inside your account.

Example calculation:

  • If you deposit $100 using a credit card with a 3x playthrough, you must place bets totalling $300 before you can withdraw the deposited amount.
  • If you deposit $50 with PayID at 1x playthrough, you must place at least $50 in wagers before withdrawal on that deposit is allowed.

Bonuses, Promotions and Abuse Policies

Bonuses and promotions are offered at the operator's discretion. We tested several promotions to understand common reasons for bonus voiding and withdrawals being refused.

  • Bonuses may be limited to specific game types; playing excluded games with bonus funds can lead to forfeiture of winnings.
  • Using multiple accounts to claim the same offer or creating accounts to intentionally trigger promotional rewards is strictly prohibited.
  • Strategies intended to manipulate wagering requirements (such as matched betting across excluded games) can result in bonus cancellation and forfeiture of winnings.
  • Pending bets that relate to a cancelled promotion will be voided.

Game Malfunctions and Errors

Games can sometimes malfunction due to server issues, network problems or software defects. Our testing covered several simulated interruptions to see how the operator responds.

  • If a game malfunction occurs you must not try to take advantage of unintended outcomes; doing so can lead to voided wins.
  • If funds or gameplay are affected by a malfunction, The Pokies 114 will investigate with its software partners and decide whether to restore funds, refund stakes, or apply other remedies at its sole discretion.
  • Investigations can require time; allow the operator the necessary period to consult third-party game providers and logs.

Security, Identity Verification and Anti-Money Laundering (AML)

Security and AML are core parts of the operator’s compliance program. During our trials we were asked to provide identity and proof-of-address documents before large withdrawals were processed.

  • Expect to provide a government-issued ID, a recent utility or bank statement for proof of address, and sometimes a photo of the payment card (with middle digits masked) for card withdrawals.
  • The operator reserves the right to retain funds while it completes verification checks.
  • Any evidence or suspicion of money laundering will lead to account suspension and may be reported to authorities.

Account Suspension, Breaches and Termination

The operator can suspend, restrict or close an account where it suspects a breach of the rules. In our test scenario where a simulated collusion pattern was detected, the operator suspended the account pending investigation.

  • Suspension can occur for suspected fraud, chargeback abuse, collusion, use of unauthorised software, or breach of age and identity rules.
  • When accounts are closed due to breaches, the operator may withhold funds until the investigation is complete.
  • The operator may also pursue legal action where criminal behaviour is suspected.

Responsible Gambling and Self-Exclusion

The operator offers responsible gambling tools and supports self-exclusion upon request. Our review of the player controls showed options to set deposit limits, wagering limits and session reminders.

  • Self-exclusion and cooling-off periods can be activated by contacting support; these are legally binding and will block access for the specified period.
  • Set deposit and loss limits to control your spend. These limits may take effect after a short processing period.
  • If you believe you have a gambling problem, seek professional help and use the operator’s self-exclusion tools immediately.

How to Dispute a Decision

If your account is suspended or a transaction is disputed, follow these steps to resolve the issue:

  • Contact customer support and request a written explanation of the decision.
  • Provide any requested documentation promptly; delays may prolong the outcome.
  • If you remain dissatisfied, escalate the dispute through the operator's published complaint channels and provide a timeline of events.

Our Practical Recommendations

Based on hands-on testing we recommend the following to avoid common issues and speed up verification and payments:

  • Register with your correct legal name and address; mismatches with documents are the main cause of delayed withdrawals.
  • Use payment methods in your name and retain proof of those transactions.
  • Read the promotion terms before claiming any bonus to ensure you understand excluded games and wagering requirements.
  • Respond quickly to identity verification requests to avoid funds being held.
