Terms and Conditions

This page sets out the binding agreement between the player and the operator of the pokies 172. It applies to every numbered mirror in the network — thepokies172, pokies net, the pokies 124 and all other addresses. Opening an account, depositing, claiming a bonus or using any feature of the platform is acceptance of these terms. Players who do not agree should not register.

The game library, banking options and daily bonuses are on the The Pokies 172 homepage. Responsible gambling tools are on the responsible gambling page. Support contact is on the contact page.

Curacao eGaming licence. Governing law: Curacao. No Australian gaming licence held. Last updated: 2026.

Key Conditions at a Glance

Operator and Mirror Network

"The pokies 172", "thepokies172", "pokies172", "the pokies net", "pokies net" and every other numbered or branded address in the network operate under one Curacao eGaming licence and one account system. A term applying to "the pokies 172" applies equally to every mirror. "Real-money balance" means deposited funds. "Bonus balance" means promotional credit carrying a wagering condition. "KYC" means identity verification required before withdrawal.

Eligibility

The service is open to players aged 18 or over. Each player is responsible for confirming that online gambling is lawful in their jurisdiction. No Australian gaming licence is held. ACMA, AFCA, state gambling regulators and Australian courts do not govern disputes under these terms. BetStop exclusions are honoured where technically feasible.

Registration

One account per person. Accounts linked by shared name, address, household, device, IP or payment method may be treated as duplicates and closed with balances forfeited. Registration details must be accurate. False information results in account closure without right of appeal. The same registration covers every mirror in the network — thepokies172, pokies net and every other address simultaneously.

Identity Verification

Required before the first withdrawal at the pokies 172:

• Government-issued photo ID
• Selfie holding that ID
• Proof of current address — utility bill or bank statement within three months

Higher withdrawal volumes may trigger source of funds requests. Once KYC is cleared on a payment method, repeat withdrawals on that method process without re-submission unless a compliance flag is raised.

Deposits

Accepted methods: PayID, Visa, Mastercard, Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, Litecoin. Minimum amounts are displayed in the cashier. All deposits must come from payment methods in the account holder's name. Third-party deposits are not accepted. Funds used in gameplay are not refundable.

Withdrawals

Minimum: AU$50. Per-transaction cap: AU$10,000. PayID and crypto settle within one hour post-KYC. Card and bank transfer take 3–5 business days. No fees charged by the pokies 172 or any mirror in the network on any method.

Withdrawals may be held when:

• KYC has not been verified
• An active bonus wagering requirement has not been cleared or forfeited
• A compliance or fraud review is underway

To forfeit an active bonus and withdraw the real-money deposit balance, use the forfeit option in the cashier or contact support through the contact page.

Bonus Terms

All promotions at the pokies 172 carry a wagering requirement. Default: 35× the bonus amount. Pokies contribute 100%, live dealer and table games at a lower rate specified per promotion. A win cap applies to bonus balances before rollover clears.

Non-sticky structure: real-money deposit and bonus balance are held separately. The deposit is withdrawable at any time regardless of bonus status. Bonus abuse — including multi-accounting, arbitrage and collusion — results in account closure and forfeiture of all balances. Active promotion terms are displayed in the cashier at the time of acceptance.

Games

All titles carry independent RNG certification. RTPs are published in the lobby info panel. Bets settled by the game server are final. Technical faults voiding a round result in stake return after investigation. Disconnection outcomes are determined by the game server result.

Fair Play

Bots, scripts and automated tools are prohibited. Collusion in live dealer formats is prohibited. Known software errors must be reported — winnings derived from a known error will be voided. The pokies 172 monitors all mirrors in the network for patterns consistent with prohibited behaviour.

Account Closure

Account closure and self-exclusion requests go through the contact page. Closure covers the account across every mirror — thepokies172, pokies net and all other addresses — simultaneously. Pending cleared balances are paid before closure finalises. Self-exclusion cannot be reversed through a support request.

For multi-operator exclusion, register with BetStop — information is on the responsible gambling page.

Complaints

Written complaints submitted to the support address on the contact page receive a response within two business days. Unresolved matters escalate through the Curacao licensor dispute process. AFCA jurisdiction does not apply.

Amendments

Terms may be updated at any time. Players will be notified of material changes via registered email. Continued use of the pokies 172 or any mirror in the network after a change notification constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. The current version is always at this URL.
