Support — The Pokies 114

Welcome to the official support hub for The Pokies 114. We tested the help channels ourselves and compiled clear, actionable guidance so you can get back to playing faster. This page explains every contact option, expected response times, common troubleshooting steps, payment and verification procedures (including PayID for Australian players), responsible gambling tools, and how to escalate unresolved cases.

Contact Methods — What we tested and recommend

Our tests show three primary contact channels consistently available on The Pokies 114 platform: live chat, email, and phone support. We found live chat to be the fastest method for routine issues, while email is best for documentation-heavy or non-urgent queries. Phone support is effective for complex account matters requiring immediate human interaction.

How to contact us — step-by-step

1. Live chat: Click the chat icon on the site footer or help menu. We tested multiple times — prepare your account email and a brief summary to speed up triage.
2. Email: Send detailed information and attachments to [email protected]. Include your account ID, transaction IDs (if relevant), screenshots and timestamps when possible.
3. Phone: Use the phone option inside your account portal for identity-verified assistance. Have your ID and recent transaction details ready.
4. Record keeping: Save chat transcripts or a copy of email replies. This helps if you need to escalate or provide evidence later.

Common issues and how we solved them

Below are the frequent problems players encounter and the practical steps that successfully resolved them during our tests.

Account access and verification

1. Forgotten password: Use the "Forgot password" link to receive a reset email. If you do not receive it within a few minutes, open live chat for manual verification.
2. Account verification: Upload a photo ID and proof of address through the secure account area. We recommend submitting clear, uncropped images and ensuring documents are recent.
3. Locked account: If your account is temporarily locked, live chat can usually confirm the reason and guide you through unlocking steps or verification requirements.

Deposits and withdrawals

We tested deposits and withdrawals across common Australian methods. The Pokies 114 supports PayID and other widely used payment options which provide fast deposits and reliable payouts when verification is complete.

1. Deposits: Deposits via PayID typically clear instantly. If your deposit does not appear, take a screenshot of the payment confirmation and contact live chat immediately.
2. Withdrawals: Payout times depend on the method and verification status — e-wallets are usually fastest, bank transfers and PayID are fast after processing. Allow time for internal checks if you recently uploaded documents.
3. Stalled payments: If a withdrawal is delayed beyond the expected window, email [email protected] with the withdrawal ID. We found that providing a clear timeline and required documents speeds up resolution.

Technical issues and game performance

We experienced rare game freezes and browser compatibility hurdles during testing. Here are steps that resolved most technical problems:

1. Clear browser cache and cookies, then reload the site.
2. Try an alternative browser or the mobile site to rule out browser-specific issues.
3. Ensure your device OS and browser are up to date; older versions can conflict with newer game clients.
4. If a specific game repeatedly crashes, note the game ID and time and report it through live chat so the technical team can replicate and escalate.

Security, fairness and data protection

The Pokies 114 uses industry-standard encryption and a certified random number generator (RNG). In our security checks we verified that authentication prompts and verification requests followed expected protocols. Always use strong, unique passwords and enable any available two-factor authentication methods to protect your account.

Responsible gambling tools

The Pokies 114 provides a suite of responsible gambling features. We recommend setting deposit limits, session reminders and self-exclusion if play becomes problematic. Contact support for help configuring these tools — live chat agents can activate and adjust limits during a session.

How to prepare when contacting support

1. Have your account email and user ID ready.
2. List relevant transaction IDs, times and amounts for payment queries.
3. Attach clear screenshots for technical or payment issues.
4. Note the exact error message or behavior you experienced.

Escalation process — when to escalate and how

If a problem is unresolved after the initial support contact, follow these steps:

1. Request an incident or case number from the agent and a target response time.
2. If the issue is urgent, ask for escalation to a senior advisor or a specialised team.
3. Send a follow-up email to [email protected] with the case number and all supporting evidence.
4. Keep a copy of all correspondence. If necessary, request a formal review or complaint form from the support team.
