How the Fair Go withdrawal process works

A withdrawal request can involve more than submitting the requested amount. Identity verification documents may be required before the request can be processed, so check whether any requested information or documents remain outstanding. A request cannot be treated as ready for processing until the required verification step is complete.

What can affect the next stage

Timing depends on processing and completed verification. It is therefore better to follow the status of the request and complete any outstanding checks than to rely on a fixed duration. No general timing claim should be treated as a promise for every request.

Withdrawals are ordinarily returned to the deposit method when possible. This makes the method used for the original deposit relevant when reviewing the expected route. If that method cannot be used, check the applicable Fair Go instructions before assuming that another route will be available.

Understanding limits and cash-out restrictions

There is no single general figure to rely on here. Bonus eligibility, wagering conditions and cash-out restrictions are governed by the promotion-specific and general terms that apply to the account activity. Review those terms before treating a balance as ready for withdrawal, particularly where bonus-related conditions are involved.

A practical check before following up

1. Confirm whether identity documents have been requested.
2. Complete any outstanding verification step.
3. Review the applicable general and promotion-specific terms.
4. Check that the intended return method is the original deposit method where possible.
5. Follow the request status rather than assuming a set completion period.
