Which currency can I use on ThePokies? Our platform operates exclusively in AUD (Australian Dollars) as our standard currency. New Zealand players should note that deposits will be processed in AUD, with currency conversion handled by your card provider.
Deposits and Withdrawals
How do I fund my account? Depositing funds is simple and requires only that you're registered and logged in. Look for the deposit button in the top right corner, enter your desired amount, and you'll be directed to our SSL-secured payment page where you can safely enter your card details for instant account crediting. Our live chat support is available if you encounter any issues.
Are there deposit fees? No fees whatsoever. Unlike many casino platforms, we believe in covering processing costs ourselves, ensuring no charges are deducted from your deposit. While some banks might occasionally apply fees, this is extremely rare based on our experience.
What's the minimum deposit amount? Currently, the minimum deposit is $30 AUD.
How do I request a withdrawal? Withdrawals are straightforward with minimal requirements. Navigate to the cashier section in your account, select withdrawal, enter your local banking details, and we'll transfer your funds as quickly as possible.
What's the processing time for withdrawals? We prioritize swift withdrawal processing to ensure you receive your winnings promptly. All withdrawals are completed within 7 business days, and thanks to our domestic banking partnerships, you won't experience delays from international transfers - funds go directly to your account.
Bonuses
What constitutes a bonus? A bonus represents additional funds credited to your account under various conditions. Bonus amounts vary, requiring wagering at x40 the bonus value (unless stated otherwise) before converting to withdrawable real funds.
Example - A player deposits $100 using our 100% match offer, receiving an additional $100 in bonus funds. Real funds are used first, requiring $4000 in wagering before withdrawal eligibility. Complete bonus terms are available in the "Bonus Terms & Conditions" under the Rewards section.
How do I activate a bonus? Accessing our Rewards section requires mobile verification through the prompted form. Enter your mobile number and click "Send Code" to receive an SMS verification code. This prevents duplicate accounts alongside additional security measures including IP and browser fingerprint verification.
How can I track my bonus wagering progress? The Rewards menu displays a progress bar showing your current wagering amount and remaining requirements before bonus funds convert to real cash.
Casino
Do you hold proper licensing? Yes - we operate under Curacao government licensing through sublicense N.V #365/JAZ, authorizing casino services across designated regions worldwide. We adhere to stringent regulatory requirements including cashflow and system audits ensuring manipulation-proof operations and guaranteed player payouts.
Are your games legitimate? Absolutely. We exclusively partner with licensed providers who undergo rigorous third-party audits ensuring completely random RNG (Random Number Generator) systems without bias. Trust forms the foundation of our player relationships, guaranteeing fair gameplay across our platform. Our live casino tables also meet extensive auditing standards.
What occurs if a game crashes during play? Typically, re-entering the crashed game restores your previous session for continued play. Alternatively, games may complete automatically on our servers during device freezes or connection losses. If your session doesn't restore properly, contact our support team with details - we maintain comprehensive systems for verifying past gameplay and sessions.
Can I use VPN services for region-restricted games? Absolutely! Unlike competitors, we believe players deserve access to the latest games and providers. If regional restrictions block your access, we see no issue with VPN usage to bypass these limitations. This philosophy sets us apart from most casino operators.
What should I do if games won't load? Connection issues or provider maintenance could be the cause. Please clear your browser cache and cookies, then restart your browser. If problems persist, contact our support team to check internal systems and troubleshoot the issue.
How do I capture screenshots for support? Screenshots help our team see exactly what's happening on your screen. On PC, use the Print Screen key and paste into Paint or similar software. Android users should press power and volume down simultaneously to save screenshots to your gallery. iOS users need to press and release the home button with the side button or sleep/wake button (model dependent).
Safety
How secure is my personal information? Completely secure - our platform uses industry-leading SSL encryption technology with current standards ensuring sensitive data transmission remains protected from unauthorized access, safeguarding you and your payment information.
Do you require identity verification for withdrawals? No - we view verification requirements as unnecessary obstacles preventing access to your winnings. In 99% of cases, no verification documents are needed. We reserve the right to request verification only when suspicious activity or fraudulent payment methods are detected, which occurs very rarely.
Responsible Gambling
Can I permanently close my account? Absolutely. If you need to close your account due to gambling concerns, inform our support staff via live chat and we'll ensure permanent account restriction.
