This page is the binding agreement between the player and the operator of thepokies net. Every numbered mirror in the network — including the pokies 172, the pokies 124 and all other addresses — operates under these terms. Creating an account, depositing, claiming a promotion or using the cashier is acceptance of what follows. Players who do not agree should not register.

Platform details are on the ThePokies Net homepage. Responsible play information is on the Responsible Gambling page. Support contact is on the Contact page.

Curacao eGaming licence. Governing law: Curacao. No Australian gaming licence held. Last updated: 2026.

Key Conditions

Platform and Definitions

ThePokies net, the pokies, thepokies and every numbered mirror (the pokies 172, the pokies 124, and others) are the same operator under one Curacao licence. "Account" is the registered player profile. "Deposit Balance" is real-money funds in the account. "Bonus Balance" is promotional credit subject to wagering terms. "KYC" is the identity and verification process.

Eligibility

Players must be 18 or older. Each player is responsible for confirming online gambling is lawful in their jurisdiction. ThePokies net does not hold an Australian gambling licence. Australian players access the service on an offshore platform. AFCA, state gambling regulators and court processes in Australia do not govern disputes under these terms. BetStop exclusions are applied where technically possible.

Registration

One account per person. Accounts sharing a name, address, device, IP address or payment method may be linked and treated as duplicates. Duplicate accounts will be closed and balances forfeited. Players must provide accurate information on registration. False details result in account closure without right of appeal.

Verification

The following are required before the first withdrawal at thepokies net:

• Government-issued photo ID
• A selfie holding the ID
• Proof of current address — utility bill or bank statement within three months

Higher withdrawal volumes may trigger source of funds requests. Once verified on a payment method, repeated withdrawals on that method process without re-submission unless flagged.

Deposits

Accepted methods: PayID, Visa, Mastercard, Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, Litecoin. Minimum amounts are displayed in the cashier. All deposits must originate from a payment method in the account holder's name. Deposits used in gameplay are not refundable. ThePokies net does not accept deposits from third parties.

Withdrawals

Minimum: AU$50. Cap: AU$10,000 per transaction. PayID and crypto settle within one hour post-KYC. Card and bank transfer take 3–5 business days. No fees are charged by the platform on any method.

Withdrawals may be delayed when:

• KYC has not been completed
• A bonus wagering condition is active
• A compliance review is underway

To exit a bonus and withdraw the deposit balance, forfeit the bonus through the cashier or contact support via the Contact page.

Bonuses

All promotions carry a wagering requirement. Standard: 35× the bonus. Pokies contribute 100%, live dealer and table games at a lower rate defined per promotion. A win cap applies to bonus balances before rollover clears. The non-sticky structure means the real-money deposit is always withdrawable independently of bonus status. Bonus abuse — multi-accounting, arbitrage, collusion — results in closure and forfeiture. Terms for active offers are in the cashier at the time of acceptance.

Gameplay Terms

Games are provided by licensed studios and carry independent RNG certification. RTP figures are published in the lobby. Settled bets are final. Technical errors voiding a round result in stake return. Disconnection outcomes are determined by the game server and stand as settled.

Prohibited Activities

Players may not use automated tools, bots or scripts. Collusion in live dealer formats is prohibited. Exploitation of software errors must be reported immediately — winnings from known errors will be voided. ThePokies net monitors accounts for patterns consistent with prohibited behaviour.

Closing an Account

Account closure requests go through the Contact page. Pending cleared balances are paid before closure. Self-exclusion results in permanent account closure. For broader exclusion, register with BetStop — details are on the Responsible Gambling page.

Complaints

Submit in writing to the support email on the Contact page. Response within two business days. Unresolved matters go to the Curacao licensor dispute process.

Changes

Terms may be updated. Players will be notified of significant changes by email. Continued use of thepokies net or any mirror after notification is acceptance of the updated version.
