Rules — The Pokies 114

Welcome to the Rules page for The Pokies 114. We tested our platform thoroughly and publish these rules to make our obligations and yours clear. Our results show that transparency helps avoid disputes and keeps play fair and enjoyable. These Rules govern your use of The Pokies 114 gaming services when accessed via desktop, mobile or other internet-enabled devices.

1. Who We Are and Regulatory Status

The Pokies 114 is operated by a company with registration number 3-102-841524, registered at 200 meters north and 50 meters east of the North American Cultural Center, Barrio Dent, San Jose. Established in 2021 and based in Costa Rica, we deliver a competitive online gaming experience and a wide range of games and sports betting products. Our operations comply with applicable regulations and we are governed by the standards of PAGCOR where relevant to our offerings. We continuously test our systems and update processes to meet industry best practice and legal requirements.

2. Applicability and Acceptance of These Rules

These Rules form a binding agreement between you ("the player") and The Pokies 114 ("the operator"). By registering an account or continuing to use our services you confirm that you have read, understood and accepted these Rules in full. If you do not accept any term you must stop using the platform immediately.

3. Account Eligibility and Legal Requirements

  • You must be at least the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction of residence. You are responsible for ensuring that you are permitted by local law to access and use The Pokies 114.
  • Only players from jurisdictions where online gambling is lawful are permitted to use our services. It is your responsibility to check and comply with local law before registering or depositing.
  • Accounts must be opened in the name of the player. Providing false or incomplete information is a breach and may lead to account closure and forfeiture of funds.
  • Only one account is permitted per individual unless expressly approved by The Pokies 114 in writing. The same credit/debit card number may only be linked to one account.
  • We reserve the right to request proof of age and identity and to restrict access until satisfactory documents are provided.

4. How to Open an Account — Our Tested Process

We tested the registration flow across desktop and mobile and found the process straightforward when accurate information is provided. To open an account you must:

  1. Provide personal details such as full name, date of birth, residential address, phone number and email address. All information must be truthful.
  2. Confirm you are of legal gambling age and that you are not excluded from gambling in your jurisdiction.
  3. Agree to these Rules and any additional bonus or promotion terms at time of claim.
  4. Complete any verification steps requested by our Compliance team (see Verification section below).

5. Verification and Documentation

For safety and regulatory compliance we may request documentation to verify your identity, address and payment methods. Our checks are part of anti-money laundering (AML) and fraud prevention measures. Typical documents we may request include:

  • Valid government-issued photo ID (passport, driver licence or national ID card).
  • Proof of address (utility bill, bank statement) dated within the last 3 months.
  • Proof of payment method (front of card with middle digits masked, bank statement showing transaction to The Pokies 114, or a screenshot of e-wallet transaction history).

We tested our verification turnaround times and our results show that most verifications are completed within 24 to 72 hours when clear documents are provided. In complex cases or where additional checks are required it may take longer and funds can be held while a review is underway.

6. Deposits — Methods, Limits and Timing

Deposits are credited to your account once we receive confirmation from the payment provider. The following table outlines common methods, typical processing times and required playthrough multipliers used for withdrawal eligibility.

Payment Method Typical Credit Time Playthrough Requirement (if any)
PayID / Bank Transfer Minutes to 24 hours 1x of deposit before withdrawal
Credit / Debit Card Instant to a few hours 3x of deposit before withdrawal
eWallets / Virtual Wallets Instant Varies by promotion — see bonus terms

We tested deposit processing across methods and our results show that instant methods (cards and eWallets) provide the quickest access to play. Bank transfer methods may take longer due to bank processing times. Deposit limits may apply by payment method and will be displayed at the time of deposit.

7. Withdrawals — Timing, Checks and Requirements

When you request a withdrawal we endeavour to process it as quickly as possible. However, some withdrawals can take longer depending on the method and whether identity checks are outstanding. Key points:

  • We do not usually charge withdrawal fees. Third-party financial institutions may apply fees or conversion charges.
  • Withdrawals are processed to the original funding source where practical. If your withdrawal is returned by your financial institution we will contact you to arrange an alternative method.
  • Before a withdrawal is paid we may require identity and source-of-funds documentation.
  • Where anti-money laundering safeguards require it, you may need to wager deposited funds a minimum number of times before we accept a withdrawal (see the Deposits table above for typical playthroughs).

Example calculation based on our tests: If you deposit $100 by Credit Card and our terms require 3x playthrough, you must wager $300 in eligible games before a withdrawal can be processed. If you deposited $100 via PayID with a 1x requirement you must wager $100 before withdrawal.

8. Game Play, Fairness and Testing

We use industry-standard random number generation (RNG) and independent testing where applicable. When we tested a representative sample of slot and table games, our results show return-to-player (RTP) values consistent with published rates. Key gameplay rules:

  • Games are intended for entertainment. Outcomes are random and wins are not guaranteed.
  • If a game malfunctions for any reason we reserve the right to void game results and adjust accounts. We will investigate and, where appropriate, restore funds at our sole discretion.
  • You must not use automated programs, bots, scripts or collusion to influence play. If we find evidence of manipulation we will void winnings, suspend accounts and may pursue legal action.

9. Collusion, Bonus Abuse and Prohibited Strategies

Our testing and monitoring systems detect patterns consistent with collusion, bonus abuse and prohibited strategies. We define these as actions designed to exploit system vulnerabilities or obtain an unfair advantage over other players or the platform. Examples include:

  • Using multiple accounts to claim welcome offers or promotions multiple times.
  • Placing offsetting bets or using strategies specifically to meet wagering requirements without playing for entertainment value.
  • Using third-party services or software to automate wagering or change outcomes.

If we detect such activity we reserve the right to:

  • Withhold or cancel bonuses and related winnings.
  • Close or suspend accounts and withhold funds pending investigation.
  • Pursue criminal or civil action where appropriate.

10. Bonus and Promotion Terms

Bonuses and promotions are subject to specific terms which must be accepted when you claim them. Common rules you should expect:

  • Bonuses may be available only for selected games. Playing excluded games with bonus funds may lead to withdrawal refusal.
  • Wagering requirements, expiry dates and maximum bet sizes while wagering bonus funds will be specified with each offer.
  • We will void bonuses and associated winnings if we have reasonable grounds to believe the offer has been abused.
  • Some promotions may be restricted by geography or only available to verified accounts.

Our review of past promotions shows that clear terms reduce disputes. We recommend reading the promotion-specific rules before claiming any offer.

11. Game Malfunctions and System Failures

If a game malfunctions, displays incorrect information, or if a technical failure occurs during play, you must not attempt to take advantage of the situation. We will investigate any reported malfunction and our decision is final. Depending on the outcome, we may:

  • Restore balances, void affected bets, or return funds at our discretion.
  • Delay processing until third-party providers (game studios, payment processors) confirm the issue and assist with remediation.

Our testing indicates that most faults are resolved quickly after verification with providers. We aim to be transparent in our responses and provide updates where investigations are prolonged.

12. Responsible Gambling

We take responsible gambling seriously. Our platform provides tools to help you manage play and spend responsibly. These include deposit limits, session time reminders, reality checks and the ability to self-exclude. We tested these tools and recommend players make use of them.

  • You can set daily, weekly or monthly deposit limits via your account or by contacting support.
  • Self-exclusion options are available for players seeking a cooling-off period or long-term exclusion.
  • If you believe you have a gambling problem, seek professional help. We recommend contacting local support services and using the self-help tools on our platform.

13. Privacy and Data Protection

We collect and process personal data to provide our services, perform verifications, and comply with legal obligations. Our Privacy Policy sets out how we handle and protect your information. Typical processing includes:

  • Identity verification to prevent fraud and money laundering.
  • Transaction processing for deposits and withdrawals.
  • Monitoring play patterns to detect collusion, bonus abuse and problem gambling indicators.

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to safeguard personal data. We only share information with third parties where necessary for compliance or with your consent (for example, payment processors and verification services).

14. Breaches, Suspension and Account Termination

If you breach these Rules, or if we suspect a breach, we may suspend or close your account and withhold funds pending investigation. Typical triggers for action include:

  • Use of fraudulent or stolen payment instruments.
  • Multiple accounts or collusion to exploit bonuses.
  • Use of automation or manipulation of games.
  • Failure to provide requested identity or transaction documents.

Where we determine that a breach has occurred, we may cancel bets and void winnings. We will notify you of the action and the reason, except where notification would prejudice an ongoing investigation or legal process.

15. Dispute Resolution and Contact

We aim to resolve queries promptly. If you have a question about these Rules, your account or a transaction, contact our Customer Support team. In our experience, providing clear documentation speeds up resolution. What to include when contacting us:

  • Account details and a clear description of the issue.
  • Transaction IDs or screenshots (where relevant) to aid investigation.
  • Any supporting documents you have already provided.

If you remain dissatisfied after an internal review we provide information about alternative dispute resolution options where applicable and relevant regulatory contacts such as PAGCOR where they apply to the issue.

16. Changes to These Rules

We reserve the right to update or change these Rules at any time for reasons including, but not limited to, compliance with law, regulatory guidance, improvements to customer service, or changes to our product offering. Changes will be published on this page and, where significant, we will use notice measures to inform active account holders. Continued use of the platform after changes are published constitutes acceptance of the updated Rules.

17. Key Definitions

  • "Operator" means The Pokies 114 and any authorised affiliate operating the gaming platform.
  • "Player" means any registered user of the platform.
  • "Bonus" means any promotional credit, spins or offer provided to a player that is subject to separate wagering requirements.
  • "Wagering / Playthrough Requirement" means the number of times a deposit or bonus must be wagered on eligible games before a withdrawal is permitted.

18. Our Commitment to Fair Play — What Our Tests Show

We tested key platform features including RNG, payout processes and dispute handling. Our results show consistent adherence to published game RTP where applicable and efficient handling of standard verification and withdrawal requests. Where issues arose (for example, disputed verification documents) our Compliance team followed documented procedures and communicated expected timelines. We commit to continuing independent testing and to publishing fair, clear rules for our players.

19. Practical Examples and Scenarios

To make the Rules easier to understand, here are practical examples we used during testing.

  • Example 1 — Deposit and Withdrawal: Sarah deposits $200 via PayID (1x playthrough). She bets $200 on eligible games and wins $500. She can request a withdrawal after wagering the $200 deposit amount. Standard verification checks must be complete before funds are paid out.
  • Example 2 — Bonus Abuse: John tries to open two accounts using the same credit card number to claim two welcome bonuses. Our checks flag the duplicate card number and his accounts are suspended pending investigation. Bonuses and winnings are voided due to clear breach of one-account-per-card rule.
  • Example 3 — Card Chargeback: Emma makes a deposit, plays and requests a withdrawal. Later her bank reverses the deposit as a chargeback. We will investigate, and if the chargeback is upheld we reserve the right to suspend the account and recover funds derived from the disputed deposit.

20. Final Notes

These Rules are drafted to protect players and ensure a fair, secure gaming environment. We recommend that players keep their account details accurate, respond promptly to verification requests, and use responsible gambling tools to manage play. If you have any questions about these Rules, contact Customer Support with detailed information to help us resolve your query quickly. We remain committed to fair play and legal compliance and will continue to test and improve our services for the benefit of all players.
