Terms & conditions
This page is the contract between you and the operator of The Pokies. It applies to every numbered mirror of the brand. Creating an account, depositing, claiming a bonus or using the cashier is acceptance. If you do not accept these terms, do not register and do not play.
The product summary lives on the The Pokies homepage — games, payouts and the numbered network are described there.
The site is operated under Curaçao licence 1688/JAZ. Applicable law is the law of Curaçao. This is not an Australian-licensed casino or bookmaker. AFCA, state gambling regulators and a BetStop lock do not govern this login. Last updated August 2026.
The rules that move money
| Topic | What it means |
|---|---|
| Age | 18+, or older if your local law requires it. ID can be demanded at any time. |
| One account | One login per person, family, household, phone, IP and device. Extra accounts can be closed and every transaction on them voided. |
| KYC | Photo ID and proof of address as standard. Selfie, source of funds and bank statements when the risk is higher. |
| Own money | Deposits from a method in your name only. The balance is not a bank account and pays no interest. |
| Bonus lock | Default wager 30× the bonus. Slots 100%, tables and live 3%. No deposit or withdrawal until it is cleared or forfeited. |
| Daily cash-out | $9,000 per day unless we agree another figure in writing. |
Operator, website and definitions
The Website is the The Pokies service and every official numbered URL that reaches the same lobby. Exclusive rights in the site, the software and the design sit with the operator. You receive a licence to use the service, not ownership of any part of it.
| Term | Meaning here |
|---|---|
| Operator / Company | The company that runs the site under licence 1688/JAZ |
| User | The individual who registers |
| Player Account | The login that holds your details and your balance |
| Funds | The money showing in that account, which may be used to play |
| Personal details | What you give us at sign-up and later (name, address, email, phone) |
| Registration | Completion of the form, including username and password |
| Applicable law | The law of Curaçao |
The operator may use third-party payment processors and game studios. Their delays, outages and errors are not ours to guarantee.
Who may use the service
Nobody under 18 may use the site. If the legal gambling age where you live is higher, that higher age applies.
- We can ask for proof of age at registration, at withdrawal, or later.
- If the proof is missing, false or late, the account can be frozen or closed.
- You decide whether online gambling is lawful where you live. We do not claim an Australian licence.
- Tax on any winnings is yours.
- You play on your own behalf, not as a business, agent or nominee.
Example. A 17-year-old using a parent’s card is a breach even if the parent said yes. The account can be closed and winnings removed.
Registration and the account
Real-money play requires an account. The name, date of birth, address, email and phone must be true and must match the documents and payment instruments you use.
One account only. These all count as the same person / same environment:
- a second email on the same phone
- a partner’s login from the same house or Wi-Fi
- the same device opening a new numbered URL
- The Pokies 75 after a night on 76 — same database, not a new player
If we find extra accounts we can close all of them and void the transactions on them.
Example. You lose on 75, register on 86 with another email from the same laptop. That is a second account. Both logins can be shut and the 86 deposits reviewed.
Keep the password to yourself. Sharing it with a partner is still sharing. If the login has been disclosed we can close the account without refunding what sits on it. Tell us when personal or payment details change.
The player account is not a bank account. No deposit insurance, guarantee scheme or interest applies. We can set deposit and withdrawal limits under internal security policy.
Verification — what to send
| Level | When | What we ask for |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | Onboarding, first withdrawal, or any time | Passport, national ID or driver licence, plus a recent utility bill or bank statement. We may also call the number on the file. |
| Enhanced | High-risk country or address, suspected multi-accounting, syndicate play, PEP, or any odd pattern | Everything in standard, plus a selfie holding the ID, a statement showing the first deposit, a statement no older than three months for the cash-out destination, and source-of-wealth. |
If the papers are fake, recycled, misleading or unverifiable, we can hold the account, close it, and confiscate winnings.
Example. A utility bill in a flatmate’s name, or a selfie that does not match the passport photo, is not enough. The withdrawal stays queued until a matching set arrives.
Deposits
Only the methods listed in the cashier are accepted. They can change. Crypto rails we list carry no operator fee on those rails.
- Deposit from a card, wallet or crypto address in your own name.
- No friends, relatives, partners or spouses paying in for you.
- If the name on the method does not match the account, we have no liability on that payment.
- Do not reverse, deny or charge back a completed deposit to dodge a liability.
- Stolen cards, mule accounts and cancelled payments can mean extra documents, voided credits, recovered winnings, a closed account and a report to a bank or authority.
- Deposits generally have to be played through before they leave.
Example. A $200 deposit that is requested back an hour later with almost no play can be held as possible abuse until we see the activity and the KYC file.
Withdrawals
You may request a cash-out from the cashier when all of the following are true:
- deposits have cleared checks for illegal activity
- no payment has been revoked or cancelled
- the profile details are complete
- no bonus lock is sitting on the balance — or you have forfeited that bonus
| Rule | Detail |
|---|---|
| Daily cap | $9,000 unless we agree another figure in writing |
| Name match | Pay out to a method in the same name as the account |
| Queue | First come, first served in the finance queue |
| ID again | We can run identification on every request |
| Rail change | If the deposit method cannot pay out, we agree another rail — still in your name |
| Your typing | A wrong wallet or account number is your error |
We are not responsible for a bank delay, a wallet outage or blockchain congestion.
Example. A $12,000 balance is not one payment. $9,000 can go today; the rest waits for the next day unless we have agreed a higher cap.
Refunds — when they do not happen
- lost stakes after a session
- a change of mind after a deposit that has been played
- a shared login
- a self-exclusion request for money already wagered
We correct the balance when we have credited or settled in error, or when a malfunction voids the round. Chargebacks can be treated as fraud under the deposit rules.
Bonuses
| Rule | Default |
|---|---|
| Wager | 30× the bonus, unless the promo says otherwise |
| Slots | 100% of the stake counts |
| Tables and live | 3% of the stake counts |
| While active | No further deposit, no withdrawal |
| Forfeit | Bonus and wins built on it come off |
| No-deposit / $10 welcome | Withdrawal cap shown at activation; anything above is cut |
| Min. deposit for a deposit bonus | $30 |
| Stacking | One bonus at a time |
| Spend order | Real cash first, then bonus cash |
| Claims | One per person, email or IP unless the offer says otherwise |
Worked example — 30× on slots. A $100 bonus at 30× is $3,000 of slot stakes. At $1 a spin that is 3,000 spins. Until that is done, or you cancel the bonus, the cashier will not pay out.
Worked example — same bonus on live. Live contributes 3%. $3,000 of “slot-equivalent” wagering on live is about $100,000 of live stakes. That is why clearing an offer on blackjack is not a shortcut.
We can change bonus terms. We can refuse or cancel winnings where the play looks designed only to clear wagering. If this page and a cashier banner disagree, this page wins.
Games and bets
The balance is for pokies, table games and live dealer on this brand. It is not a pass-through wallet.
- You may not use the cashier to pay bills or to move money to another payment system.
- Each title’s own rules still apply.
- We can refuse a bet without a reason, refuse a registration, or delete an account for a breach.
- If a round drops mid-way, the server result stands.
- A wrong price, a display glitch, a duplicate credit or a malfunction can be reversed. A malfunction voids the bet.
Fair play
The service is for lawful, recreational play. You must not seek an unfair, artificial or unintended advantage over the house, a provider or another player.
| Not allowed | Example |
|---|---|
| Multi-accounting | A second email after a self-exclusion or a loss |
| Bots / scripts / AI aids | Software that times bets or plays the round for you |
| Collusion | Signalling a live dealer or another player |
| Fault hunting | Repeating a round after a price or settlement error |
| Bonus grinding | Minimum-risk patterns aimed only at 30× clearance |
| Live baccarat | Sitting more than one baccarat table at the same time |
Using only information that is shown to every player in the ordinary course of a game is not, by itself, a breach — unless it is paired with one of the acts above. Winnings from simultaneous baccarat seats can be voided.
Other prohibited use
- money, cards or crypto that are not yours
- abusive or threatening chat toward staff or other players
- breaking or probing the site’s security
- using the service to move criminal proceeds
We can investigate, freeze the login, void bets, cancel bonuses and winnings, retain funds and close the account. We can notify the relevant authority. You agree to cover costs, including legal fees, that arise from your breach.
Closing the account
Write from the email on the file to live chat or [email protected]. Ask for written confirmation. Include:
- the registered name and the email on the account
- a clear request to close, not a pause
- whether you want a withdrawal of the remaining real-money balance
Available real-money funds that are not locked by a bonus and that pass KYC are paid out under these rules. More detail is on Contact us. Help and BetStop are on Responsible gambling. BetStop does not shut this offshore login by itself.
Complaints
Start with support — chat or the mailbox for the domain you are on. Put this in the first message:
- account email
- date and time (your timezone)
- game name or transaction ID
- what you want reviewed
If the first answer is not enough, say so in the same thread and ask for an escalation. Disputes are handled under Curaçao law. There is no AFCA path. External links on the site are not under our control.
Changes
We can update these terms. The text on this page is the current version. Material changes may also be flagged in the cashier or by email. Keeping the account after a change is acceptance. If one clause is struck out, the rest remains.
Support runs 24/7 on live chat and on [email protected]. The address updates to the domain you opened.
