The Pokies 114 — Support & Help Centre
Welcome to the Support page for The Pokies 114. We tested the platform's customer service extensively and compiled everything players in Australia need to solve account, payment, verification and technical issues quickly. Our results show that a fast, well-documented support process is essential for uninterrupted play — below you will find step-by-step troubleshooting, contact methods, expected response times and escalation guidance based on our hands-on testing.
Contact methods — what works best
We tried each contact option multiple times and found a clear hierarchy: live chat is the fastest, email is suitable for non-urgent matters or when attachments are required, and phone support is useful for complex disputes that require direct conversation. If you need immediate help, start with live chat.
Primary contact options
- Live chat — 24/7, immediate replies for routine account and technical queries
- Email — [email protected] for detailed requests, supporting documents and complaint records
- Phone support — available for escalations and verification assistance (check the site for the current regional number)

How to get the fastest resolution — our recommended steps
- Identify the issue clearly before contacting support. Note account ID, transaction IDs and the time the issue occurred.
- Use live chat for urgent problems. State your issue concisely and provide any error messages exactly as shown.
- If the issue requires documents (KYC, bank statements, ID), prepare clear scans or photos and use email to attach them.
- When contacting support, mention previous ticket numbers and keep a record of agent names and timestamps.
- Escalate politely if you do not receive a satisfactory response within the published SLA — ask for a complaint reference or senior agent.
Common issues and how we fixed them during testing
Below are frequent problems players encounter and the exact steps that worked for us when resolving them with The Pokies 114 support team.
1. Login problems and locked accounts
- Check email confirmation and use the 'forgot password' workflow first.
- If account is flagged or locked, contact live chat and provide your registered email and a short explanation. Our tests show verification is usually completed within 24 hours once we supplied acceptable ID.
- If requested, email scanned photo ID and proof of address. Use high-resolution images and include the account ID in the email subject.
2. Deposits not credited
- Confirm the transaction on your banking app or e-wallet and copy the transaction reference.
- Open live chat and paste the transaction reference; the agent will check the deposit trace and confirm next steps. In our experience, most traces were resolved within a few hours.
- For PayID or bank transfer, keep a screenshot of the transfer confirmation — it speeds up the investigation.
3. Withdrawals delayed
- Withdrawal processing depends on payment method and KYC status. If your account is fully verified, withdrawals typically move to manual review quickly.
- If a withdrawal is delayed beyond the stated time, open live chat and request the ticket number for the payout investigation.
- We found that providing requested KYC documents proactively avoids many delays.
4. Technical issues with games
- Clear your browser cache, try a different browser or use the mobile site. If the issue persists across devices, gather screenshots and report via live chat.
- Include the game name, round ID (if shown), time of the issue and the device/OS you used. This information allows the technical team to reproduce problems faster.
Verification (KYC) — what to expect
We examined the verification workflow to ensure it is secure and efficient. The Pokies 114 requests documents to comply with regulations and to protect account safety. Typical documents requested include a government-issued photo ID, a recent utility bill or bank statement for proof of address, and sometimes a selfie for identity confirmation.
- Upload clear, uncropped scans or photos (JPEG or PDF). Blurry images delay verification.
- Ensure names, addresses and dates are fully visible and match your account details.
- After submission, live chat or email confirmation will inform you when verification completes. Our tests showed most verifications completed within 24–48 hours when documents were clear.
Responsible gambling and account controls
The Pokies 114 provides tools to help you control play and manage risk. During our review we confirmed these options are straightforward to access.
- Deposit limits — set daily, weekly or monthly caps to control spending.
- Session limits and cool-off periods — take breaks if play is becoming problematic.
- Self-exclusion — a formal option for players who need a longer break from gambling.
- Reality checks and time reminders — configurable alerts to help you stay aware of session length.
Security and privacy
We tested account security practices and found The Pokies 114 follows standard industry controls: encrypted data transfer, secure password rules and multi-step verification for sensitive account changes. Always enable two-factor authentication (2FA) if available and never share your account password or verification codes with anyone.
How to escalate a complaint — our escalation playbook
If you are unhappy with the initial resolution, follow this escalation path. We used this path during testing and found it effective for getting a senior review.
- Request a supervisor in live chat and ask for a formal complaint reference number.
- Email the complaint with all supporting screenshots and the chat transcript to [email protected]. Keep copies of all correspondence.
- Allow 5 business days for a formal response. If no resolution, request independent arbitration or check the site’s terms for regulatory contacts.
