Betting Rules

1. General betting conditions

By opening an account, accessing the website or participating in a game, you agree to follow these Betting Rules and all other conditions that apply to your use of Pokies Lounge Casino. If you do not understand a rule, you should seek clarification through the available website support channels before placing a bet or starting a game. You should not play if you do not accept these rules.

These rules are intended to provide a clear and consistent framework for account use, game play, bet processing and the handling of unusual events. A specific game may have additional rules displayed on its information panel, help screen or game page. Those rules form part of the conditions for that game and should be reviewed before play.

The website may update its rules, games, features or procedures from time to time. The current version published on the website applies to future activity from the time it becomes available, unless a different effective date is stated. Changes will not normally alter a bet that has already been accepted, except where a correction, legal requirement, technical issue or other provision in the applicable terms requires a different outcome.

Eligibility and account access

• You must meet the minimum legal age and other eligibility requirements that apply to online gambling in your location.
• You must provide information that is accurate, complete and kept up to date when creating or using an account.
• You must use your own account and must not allow another person to access it or place bets on your behalf.
• You may be asked to complete identity, age, payment or other verification checks before, during or after play.
• Access may be restricted, suspended or refused where required by law, a verification process, a responsible gambling request or the website terms.

You are responsible for keeping your login details secure and for notifying the website promptly if you believe your account has been accessed without permission. Activity carried out through your account may be treated as your activity unless there is evidence of unauthorised use or another outcome is required under the applicable terms.

3. Account balances, payments and settlements

Only funds credited to your account through an approved payment method may be used for betting. You should use a payment method held in your own name and must follow any instructions displayed during a deposit or withdrawal request. Payment providers may apply their own terms, checks, processing requirements or fees, which are separate from these Betting Rules.

Your account balance may include deposited funds, winnings, promotional amounts or other credits that are subject to different conditions. Promotional funds, where offered, may have separate eligibility, wagering, expiry and withdrawal rules. Those conditions will be displayed with the relevant promotion and should be read before it is accepted or used. A promotion is not available unless the stated conditions have been met.

Withdrawals and verification

Withdrawal requests may be reviewed for identity, payment ownership, account security, responsible gambling and legal or compliance purposes. The requested amount may be affected by unsettled bets, applicable terms, payment restrictions or a need to return funds through the method used for the original deposit. The website may ask for documents or further information before processing a request.

You should ensure that your account information and payment details are correct. The website is not responsible for a delay or failed transfer caused by incorrect information supplied by you, a payment provider, a bank or another third party. Processing times can vary and are not a guarantee that a request will be completed within a particular period.

Settlement and corrections

Settlements are based on the applicable game rules and the account record held by the website. If a bet is settled incorrectly because of a technical, administrative or other recognised error, the account may be adjusted after review. Where an amount has been credited in error, it must not be treated as available winnings and may be recovered or reversed in accordance with the applicable terms.

• Do not attempt to use or withdraw funds that you believe were credited by mistake.
• Do not make a payment using another person's card, account or financial details.
• Do not attempt to avoid a verification or payment process by opening additional accounts.
• Keep records of deposits, withdrawals, bets and relevant account messages for your own reference.

5. Responsible gambling, questions and complaints

Gambling should be treated as entertainment, not as a way to make money or solve financial problems. Set a budget before you play and only use money you can afford to lose. Do not chase losses, borrow money to gamble or increase your stakes because you feel that a win is due. Take regular breaks and stop playing if gambling is affecting your finances, relationships, work, study or wellbeing.

Safer play tools

Where available, responsible gambling tools may include deposit or wagering limits, time reminders, account breaks, self-exclusion and access restrictions. These tools have different purposes and may take different amounts of time to apply. Review the Responsible Gambling information on the website to understand the available options and how to request them.

If you believe gambling is no longer enjoyable or is becoming difficult to control, stop playing and seek support from an appropriate gambling support service, health professional or trusted person. You should also consider blocking access to gambling websites and removing saved payment details from devices you use.

Questions and complaints

If you have a question about a bet, game result, account entry, payment or rule, review the relevant game information and account history first. If the issue remains unresolved, use the support or contact option provided on the website. Include enough information for the matter to be reviewed, such as the date, game, transaction type and any reference shown in your account. Do not send passwords or complete payment details in a support message.

Complaints are reviewed using the information available from your account, game records, payment records and communications. You may be asked for further information to confirm your identity or clarify the issue. The website may explain the outcome and any available next step through the contact method associated with your account. These Betting Rules should be read with the full website Terms and Conditions, which take precedence if there is an inconsistency.
