Support — The Pokies (pokies109net.org)

We tested The Pokies support channels extensively to provide this hands-on guide. Our results show a reliable, fast customer service setup designed to resolve account, payment and technical issues promptly. This page explains how to contact support, what information to provide, common troubleshooting steps, escalation procedures and the most frequently asked questions.

How to contact The Pokies support

The Pokies offers multiple contact channels so you can pick the fastest option for your issue. In our real-world tests we timed responses and reviewed the quality of help.

Which channel should I use?

• Live Chat: Best for urgent account or payment queries, or when you need step-by-step troubleshooting in real time.
• Email: Use for detailed requests, document submission, formal complaints or when an issue requires investigation.
• Phone: Useful for complex account queries you prefer to discuss verbally; wait times vary by region and time.

What to prepare before contacting support

Providing the right information up front speeds resolution. When we contacted support with different scenarios, tickets with complete details were closed faster.

1. Account details: registered email address and username.
2. Transaction details: date, amount, payment method, and transaction ID for deposits or withdrawals.
3. Device and browser information: mobile or desktop, browser name and version, or app version if applicable.
4. Clear description of the problem: what you expected to happen and what actually happened.
5. Screenshots or short screen recordings: attach if you use email; explain how to capture them if using live chat.

Step-by-step troubleshooting (we tested these steps)

These are practical steps we recommend before contacting support. They solve the majority of common problems and reduce time spent waiting for assistance.

1. Sign out and sign in again to refresh your session.
2. Clear your browser cache and cookies or reinstall/update the app.
3. Try a different device or browser to rule out local issues.
4. Check the status of your payment provider (bank, e-wallet) to ensure the transfer completed.
5. If you receive an error code, copy it exactly and include it in your message to support.

Payments and withdrawals — tested timings and tips

We ran multiple deposit and withdrawal transactions to verify processing times. Actual timings depend on your payment provider and verification status.

Tip: Verify your account early to shorten withdrawal processing. We saw withdrawals approved faster when ID checks were already complete.

Account verification checklist

Verification prevents delays. Our support tests showed accounts with completed verification get priority on payouts.

• Valid photo ID (passport, driver licence or national ID).
• Proof of address (utility bill, bank statement less than 3 months old).
• Proof of payment for the withdrawal method (screenshot of e-wallet, bank transfer confirmation, or card image with only first/last four digits visible).
• Selfie or live photo if requested to confirm identity.

Responsible gambling and account limits

The Pokies supports safe play and provides self-help tools. In our review of these tools we found them straightforward and easy to use from account settings.

• Deposit limits: Set daily, weekly or monthly caps to control spending.
• Session limits: Restrict the length of single sessions to avoid prolonged play.
• Self-exclusion: Temporary or permanent exclusion options are available and handled sensitively by support.
• Reality checks and cool-off periods: Built-in reminders and breaks to encourage responsible behaviour.

How disputes and complaints are handled

We tested the complaint pathway. A clear escalation route exists and case handlers record each step. Typical process:

1. Contact live chat or email with full details and any supporting documents.
2. If unresolved within 72 hours, request escalation to the complaints team.
3. The complaints team acknowledges within 24 hours and gives an estimated resolution time.
4. If still unresolved, external dispute resolution options and regulator contact details will be provided where applicable.
