TERMS and CONDITIONS

INTRODUCTION: YOUR DIGITAL HANDSHAKE

This Player Contract (the "Contract") represents a binding agreement between you and Spinwise Gaming Limited, operating as Pokies24.io. By clicking "I Accept" during registration or by using any feature of the Pokies24.io universe of gaming experiences (website, mobile applications, games, tournaments, and associated services - collectively called "The Platform"), you're digitally shaking hands with us and agreeing to these terms.

Think of this Contract as the rulebook for our digital casino. Just as physical casinos have house rules posted at the entrance, we have ours here. Breaking these rules can result in anything from a friendly reminder to permanent removal from our digital premises.

SECTION A: BECOMING A MEMBER OF OUR COMMUNITY

A1. Age and Location Verification

The Ground Rules: To join our community, you must be at least 21 years old (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction if higher). We're serious about this - underage gambling isn't just against our rules; it's against the law.

This list evolves as global regulations change. Ultimately, it's your responsibility to verify that online gaming is permitted in your location before signing up.

A2. The Registration Journey

Starting Your Adventure: Creating your Pokies24.io profile requires accurate personal information. This isn't just about rules—it's about protecting your account and winnings. You'll need to provide:

  • A valid email address that you check regularly
  • Your legal name as it appears on official documents
  • A secure password (combination of letters, numbers, and symbols)
  • Your date of birth
  • Your residential address
  • A valid mobile number for security verification

Your Digital Identity: Each player may maintain only one account on The Platform. Multiple accounts linked to the same individual will be merged or terminated, with any promotional benefits removed. Different individuals living at the same address or using the same network may have separate accounts, but please notify our Player Support team of this situation to avoid confusion.

A3. Your Digital Word of Honor

By joining Pokies24.io, you're making these pledges to us:

  • You're accessing The Platform for personal entertainment only
  • You're using legally obtained funds
  • You understand gaming involves genuine financial risk
  • You're playing only on your own behalf
  • You'll maintain respectful conduct toward other players and staff
  • You'll regularly update your account information if it changes
  • You accept responsibility for any tax obligations resulting from your winnings
  • You won't implement automated systems, scripts, or artificial intelligence to gain advantages
  • You won't coordinate with others to manipulate game outcomes

A4. Account Dormancy and Revival

Accounts without login activity for 180 consecutive days will enter "hibernation mode." After 365 days of inactivity, accounts transition to "dormant" status and may incur a maintenance fee of $2 monthly, deducted from your balance. We'll attempt to contact you before applying any fees. Accounts with zero balance after fee deductions will be archived but can be revived upon request.

SECTION B: FUNDING YOUR ADVENTURES

B1. Wallet Management

Your Pokies24.io account contains three distinct financial components:

  • Primary Wallet: Your deposited funds and winnings from gameplay
  • Bonus Vault: Special funds with specific conditions (more on this in Section E)
  • Pending Transactions: Funds currently allocated to ongoing games or bets

B2. Making Deposits

B2.1 Deposit Methods

We offer various ways to fund your account, which may vary based on your location:

  • Monthly deposit ceiling

Once established, these limits take immediate effect for decreases and implement after a 24-hour cooling period for increases.

B3. Withdrawal Protocol

B3.1 Identity Confirmation

Before processing your first withdrawal, we'll need to verify your identity through a process we call "KYC" (Know Your Customer). This involves providing:

  • A clear image of your government-issued photo ID
  • A recent utility bill or bank statement showing your registered address
  • A selfie holding your ID document
  • Verification of payment methods used for deposits

This verification helps protect both you and us from fraud and fulfills our regulatory obligations.

  • Weekly maximum: $7,000 equivalent

  • Games in progress must be completed
  • We reserve the right to request additional verification for security purposes

SECTION C: GAMEPLAY INTEGRITY

C1. Fair Play Framework

The Digital Dealer's Pledge: All games on The Platform operate using certified Random Number Generation (RNG) systems regularly audited by independent testing laboratories. Game outcomes are determined solely by these systems, ensuring complete randomness and fairness.

Technical Architecture: Our platform employs industry-standard encryption and security protocols to protect the gaming environment. Game results are processed and verified on our secure servers, not locally on your device, eliminating manipulation possibilities.

C2. Prohibited Tactics

The following actions violate our integrity standards and may result in account restrictions or termination:

  • Using VPNs or proxy services to mask your location
  • Implementing bots, scripts, or automated betting systems
  • Exploiting software vulnerabilities or game mechanics
  • Using specialized software to gain advantages
  • Deliberately disconnecting to avoid negative outcomes
  • Collusion with other players
  • Structured betting patterns designed to exploit bonus conditions
  • Using multiple accounts to circumvent limitations
  • Tampering with game clients
  • Chain-betting or progressive betting systems when using bonus funds

C3. Wager Acceptance and Settlement

All bets submitted undergo acceptance verification. Once accepted, wagers cannot be canceled unilaterally by players. In exceptional circumstances, we may void wagers when:

  • Technical errors affect odds, markets, or outcomes
  • Obvious pricing errors occur (100x normal odds)
  • Events are canceled, postponed beyond 72 hours, or substantially modified
  • Reasonable suspicion exists of outcome manipulation
  • Regulatory or compliance requirements necessitate voiding

When a wager is voided, the stake returns to your Primary Wallet without restriction.

C4. Game Interruption Protocol

If your gaming session experiences disruption:

  • Completed game rounds are settled normally
  • Incomplete slot spins are completed automatically with results available in your game history
  • Incomplete table game hands may be recovered upon reconnection
  • If systems cannot determine the outcome of an interrupted game, stakes are returned to your Primary Wallet
  • For progressive jackpot games, the jackpot amount at disconnection is honored if won

We're not responsible for disruptions caused by your internet connection, device malfunction, or power failures.

C5. Maximum Win Limitations

Regardless of stakes and potential returns, the following maximum win limits apply:

  • Per single spin on slot games: $50,000 equivalent
  • Per hand in table games: $75,000 equivalent
  • Per sports event: $40,000 equivalent
  • Per day across all games: $150,000 equivalent

SECTION D: SPORTS WAGERING GUIDELINES

D1. Fundamental Principles

Our sports betting platform operates under these core principles:

  • We accept wagers on events displayed on The Platform
  • Each sport has specific rules governing bet settlement
  • Published odds may change prior to bet acceptance
  • Official results determine settlement, even if they differ from initial reports
  • Once accepted, bets cannot be altered or canceled by players

D2. Market-Specific Nuances

D2.1 Match Outcomes

Standard match bets are settled based on the result at the conclusion of regular time (including injury/stoppage time but excluding extra time/penalties) unless explicitly stated otherwise in the market description.

D2.2 Abandoned or Postponed Events

When events are abandoned or postponed:

  • If resumed within 48 hours, bets remain valid
  • If postponed beyond 48 hours, bets are void unless specified otherwise
  • If abandoned after starting, bets on already determined markets stand
  • Special sport-specific rules may override these general principles

D2.3 Statistical Markets

For player statistics markets (goals, points, cards, etc.):

  • Official league/tournament statistics determine settlement
  • Player substitution/ejection doesn't void bets unless specified
  • For card markets: yellow=1 point, red=2 points, two yellows leading to red=3 points
  • Booking points typically allocated as: yellow=10 points, red=25 points

D2.4 Live Betting

In-play wagering has additional considerations:

  • Acceptance delay of 5-10 seconds accounts for live action development
  • Odds fluctuate based on event progression
  • TV or streaming delays may affect odds presentation
  • The "Cash Out" feature may be suspended during critical moments

D3. Result Verification Process

We settle wagers based on:

  • Official governing body results
  • Official league/tournament statistics
  • Recognized data providers
  • Video review when available
  • Reputable news sources when official sources are unavailable

Once settled, bets are only reversed if:

  • The official governing body amends results within 24 hours
  • Clear and verifiable technical error occurred in our settlement process

D4. Betting Integrity

To maintain sports betting integrity:

  • Wagers from participants in events (athletes, coaches, officials) are prohibited
  • Suspicious betting patterns are monitored and investigated
  • Maximum stake limits may apply to certain markets
  • We cooperate with sports governing bodies and regulators on integrity matters
  • We reserve the right to suspend markets when integrity concerns arise
