Contact The Pokies (The Pokies)

If you need assistance in relation to your use of The Pokies on thepokies-aussie.com, you can contact our support team using the form below or by email. Please provide your full name, a valid contact address, and a clear description of your question or concern so that we can respond efficiently.

Important Regulatory and Risk Information for Australian Users

  • Offshore, unlicensed operation in Australia: The Pokies, as available via thepokies-aussie.com, is operated by an offshore entity and does not hold an Australian online gambling licence. As of 2026, services targeting Australian residents are considered illegal offshore gambling under Australian law and are subject to blocking and enforcement actions by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA).
  • No verified active gambling licence: while there have been historical references to a Curaçao eGaming sub-licence under Master Licence 1668/JAZ, there is no current, verifiable, independently validated licence for The Pokies. Any past references to such a licence or validator links should be treated as non-current and not relied upon as evidence of active regulation.
  • No Australian regulatory protections: because The Pokies is not licensed in Australia, you will not have access to Australian-based alternative dispute resolution schemes, governmental complaints handling, or statutory player fund protections that may apply to domestically licensed gambling services.
  • Player fund and insolvency risk: player balances are not held in segregated trust or client accounts and may be commingled with operational funds. In the event of insolvency, sudden site closure, or domain seizure, you would typically rank as an unsecured creditor, with a substantial risk of partial recovery or no recovery of any outstanding balance.
  • Data security and privacy limitations: thepokies-aussie.com uses standard SSL/TLS certificates (for example, Let's Encrypt R3) to encrypt data in transit. However, there is no ISO 27001 or similar independent information security certification in place. Personal and behavioural data may be shared with third-party service providers or affiliate partners. You should avoid reusing passwords from other services and consider using a unique email address for gambling-related registrations due to credential stuffing risks.
  • Ownership transparency: The Pokies does not publicly disclose a verified registered office address, parent company, or detailed corporate structure. Payment processing may occur via third-party processors or shell entities in foreign jurisdictions (for example, Cyprus or Eastern Europe). This opacity may limit your ability to identify a responsible legal entity or to initiate formal proceedings in your local courts.
  • No ISO 27001 certification: as at 2026, The Pokies is not ISO 27001 certified or covered by any equivalent, widely recognised information security management standard. You should take your own precautions when providing personal and financial information online.

How to Use This Contact Channel Responsibly

  1. Do not send financial or identity documents via the form: For your protection, do not upload or paste scans of passports, driver licences, bank cards, or other sensitive identification or financial documents into the free-text "Message" field. If our support team legitimately requires documentation, they will provide specific, secure instructions by email.
  2. Provide accurate and complete information: Clearly state your username (if applicable), the relevant dates, game titles, transaction references, and the URL you are using (for example, https://thepokies-aussie.com). This will help our support team locate your account and provide a more accurate response. Incomplete information can delay or prevent resolution.
  3. Retain copies of communications: Keep records of all emails and messages exchanged with our support team, including timestamps and any attached files or screenshots. These records may be important if you later need to provide evidence of your interactions for independent legal or advisory purposes.
  4. Independent advice and complaints: Because The Pokies operates offshore and is not regulated in Australia, local gambling regulators may not accept complaints about our services. You may, however, seek independent legal advice or assistance from consumer protection organisations or counselling services if you have concerns related to problem gambling, financial loss, or data misuse.
  5. Responsible gambling concerns: If your enquiry relates to problem gambling, self-exclusion, or loss of control over your play, state this clearly in your message so it can be prioritised. You should also contact Australian-based support services such as:
    • Gambling Help Online: https://www.gamblinghelponline.org.au (24/7 counselling and information)
    • Lifeline Australia: 13 11 14 - crisis support and suicide prevention (24/7)
    • Your local state or territory gambling help service, as listed on the above sites.
