Still waiting on a

Sportsbet

refund?

Sportsbet follows clear rules around bet refunds:

• Bets Are Final (No Change-of-Mind Refunds):
  Once your bet is confirmed, it generally can’t be cancelled or refunded, even if you made a mistake.
  
  
• Voided or Cancelled Events:
  If an event is cancelled, postponed (beyond 24 hours), or abandoned, bets are automatically voided and your stake is returned.
  
  
• Errors & Mistakes:
  Mistaken bets typically stand. Only in extremely rare cases, if immediately contacted, might Sportsbet consider adjustments (though this isn't guaranteed).
  
  
• Promotional "Refunds":
  Sportsbet often runs promos that refund losing bets as bonus bets - not withdrawable cash. Always read promo terms carefully.
  
  
• Unused Deposits:
  Deposited funds must typically be bet at least once before withdrawal, to comply with anti-money laundering rules.
  
  
• Self-Exclusion & Account Closures:
  If you self-exclude via BetStop or Sportsbet, open bets are voided, stakes returned, and remaining funds refunded.
  
  
• Fraudulent or Suspicious Activity:
  If Sportsbet detects fraud, bets may be voided, stakes returned, but accounts may be closed.
  

Identify Your Situation:

• Cancelled/Voided Event: Automatic refund to your Sportsbet account.
  
  
• Mistaken Bet: Immediately contact Customer Service via live chat or phone (13 23 87). Prompt action essential.
  
  
• Withdraw Your Funds:
  
  
  1. Log in to Sportsbet, click on your balance, choose "Withdraw".
     
     
  2. Select withdrawal method (bank transfer, PayPal, card, Sportsbet Cash Card).
     
     
  3. Enter amount, confirm, and submit.

Factors Influencing Refund Times:

• Bank processing speeds and weekends/public holidays.

  Refunded stakes return to your Sportsbet balance automatically.
  
  
• Withdrawal Methods:
  
  
  • Bank Transfer (EFT): Direct deposit to your Australian bank account.

  • PayPal: Convenient, rapid withdrawals back to your PayPal balance.
    
    
  • Sportsbet Cash Card: Immediate funds availability, usable at ATMs.
    
    
• Original Deposit Method Requirement:
  For security, withdrawals generally go back to your original deposit method first.
  
  
• No Physical Cash Refunds:
  Sportsbet operates entirely online (except Cash Card ATM withdrawals).
  

• Placing the Wrong Bet:
  Sportsbet bets usually can't be cancelled. Always carefully review your bet slip before confirming.
  
  
• Withdrawal Delays:
  Verify your account first. Use banks that support fast payments to avoid delays.
  
  
• Deposit Turnover Requirement:
  Deposited funds must be bet at least once. Contact support for exceptional cases.
  
  
• Promo Refund Confusion:
  Promotional refunds often mean bonus bets - not real cash. Read terms carefully.
  
  
• Slow Customer Service:
  In high-demand times, responses can slow down. Persistently following up resolves most issues.
  
  
• Responsible Gambling Restrictions:
  Temporary account freezes due to responsible gambling measures may delay withdrawals.
