Broadbeach Oasis News is a local newsagency located inside The Oasis Shopping Centre in Broadbeach, Queensland, Australia. As a traditional newsagent, they sell lottery products (such as Gold Lotto, Powerball and Instant Scratch-Its), greeting cards, stationery, newspapers, magazines, small gifts, and often prepaid services like mobile phone recharges and gift cards. The store primarily serves walk-in customers from the shopping centre and surrounding area, processing in‑person EFTPOS and credit/debit card payments at their counter.
A charge from “BROADBEACH OASIS NEWS” or similar wording on your bank statement usually relates to a one‑time in‑store purchase made at their shop. Common transactions include buying lottery tickets or scratchies, multiple magazines or newspapers, greeting cards and gift wrap, stationery items, or topping up prepaid services and gift cards. In some cases you might see a slightly odd amount if you played multiple lottery games in a single transaction, purchased a mix of items, or added a prepaid recharge or gift card to your purchase. You generally will not see recurring or subscription-style charges from this merchant unless you personally visit and pay at the counter each time.
If you don’t immediately recognize the charge, start by checking your receipts (paper or email, if requested at the time), and think back to whether you or a family member used your card at The Oasis Shopping Centre in Broadbeach on that date. Compare the transaction date and amount to any lottery, scratchie, card, stationery or recharge purchases you recently made. If you still have questions, you can look up Broadbeach Oasis News via the retailer directory on oasisshoppingcentre.com.au to find current contact details and call the store directly, providing the exact charge amount, date and the last few digits of your card so they can look up the transaction. For issues such as suspected card misuse, contact your bank immediately to dispute the transaction and request that your card be blocked or replaced.

These are the raw merchant codes that appear on bank and credit card statements that we've identified as belonging to Broadbeach Oasis News.
Why do I see a charge from BROADBEACH OASIS NEWS on my statement?
This charge usually comes from an in‑person purchase at the Broadbeach Oasis News newsagency inside The Oasis Shopping Centre in Broadbeach, QLD. Typical transactions include lottery tickets (such as Gold Lotto, Powerball), Instant Scratch‑Its, newspapers, magazines, greeting cards, stationery, or prepaid recharges and gift cards. The amount on your statement should match the total on your in‑store receipt from that day. If the date matches a visit to The Oasis Shopping Centre, it is likely connected to that shopping trip.
What kind of amounts are typical for charges from Broadbeach Oasis News?
Common charge amounts can be small (AUD $5–$30) for newspapers, magazines, or a greeting card, but they may be higher ($20–$100 or more) if you purchased multiple lottery games, several scratchies, or a prepaid gift card or phone recharge. A single transaction can combine different items, so the total may look unusual if you do not remember buying everything together. Check whether you recently bought lottery entries for multiple draws or added a recharge or gift card at the counter, as these are frequent reasons for higher totals.
Can Broadbeach Oasis News put through recurring or subscription charges?
Broadbeach Oasis News generally processes one‑off, card‑present payments when you are physically in the store. They do not typically run ongoing automatic subscriptions directly to your card, such as weekly debits, without you coming in to pay. If you have a standing arrangement like regular newspaper put‑asides or a weekly lotto syndicate, you usually pay at each visit rather than via automatic billing. If you see repeated charges you don’t recognize, contact both the store and your bank to confirm that your card hasn’t been used by someone else.
I don’t remember shopping there—how can I verify what this charge was for?
Start by matching the transaction date and time on your statement with any visit you may have made to The Oasis Shopping Centre in Broadbeach. Ask household members or anyone else who may have access to your card if they bought lottery tickets, scratchies, magazines, or phone credit there. If you still can’t identify it, use the contact details listed in The Oasis Shopping Centre directory (oasisshoppingcentre.com.au) to call the store, and provide the transaction date, amount, and last few digits of your card so they can try to locate the receipt in their system. If the store cannot find a corresponding sale and you suspect fraud, contact your bank to dispute the charge and request a new card.
How do refunds or returns work for purchases from Broadbeach Oasis News?
Refunds depend on the item type and must comply with Australian Consumer Law. Lottery tickets, scratchies, and prepaid recharges or gift cards are generally not refundable once issued or activated, unless there was a clear error with the transaction. For physical products like stationery or greeting cards, the store may offer a refund or exchange if the goods are faulty or were sold incorrectly, and you present your receipt within a reasonable timeframe. Because policies can vary by newsagent, it’s best to contact Broadbeach Oasis News directly for their current refund and exchange procedures.
Why do I see two similar charges or a small pending amount from Broadbeach Oasis News?
Some banks show an initial card authorization (a pending charge) and the final settled charge separately for a short time. If a payment was attempted more than once due to a terminal error, you may see a declined or reversed transaction alongside the successful one. The pending or duplicate entry should drop off your statement within a few business days once your bank finishes processing. If both amounts remain posted or you believe you were charged twice, contact your bank and then the store with your receipt so they can investigate.
Can I cancel or change a lotto or prepaid purchase after being charged by Broadbeach Oasis News?
Once a lottery ticket or Instant Scratch‑It has been printed, or a prepaid recharge or gift card has been activated, it is usually not possible to cancel or reverse that specific transaction. This is due to lottery and prepaid provider rules, not just the store’s policy. If you believe there was a mistake (wrong numbers, wrong amount, or duplicate purchase), return to the store with your receipt as soon as possible so they can see if anything can be done under their terminal and provider rules. For ongoing lotto syndicates or regular number entries you pay for in person, simply stop purchasing future entries or speak to the store about discontinuing any reserved games.
How can I contact Broadbeach Oasis News about a charge I don’t recognize?
Go to oasisshoppingcentre.com.au and open the store directory to locate Broadbeach Oasis News; there you can find the shop’s current phone number and address details. When you call or visit, have your bank statement handy with the exact transaction date, time (if listed), amount, and the last few digits of your card. This information helps staff search their point‑of‑sale records to confirm whether the transaction matches a sale in their system. If they cannot find a match or you still suspect unauthorized use, immediately report the issue to your bank or card issuer.
