Oz Tenpin is an Australian chain of tenpin bowling and family entertainment centres offering bowling lanes, arcade games, parties, and group events at multiple locations including Shepparton, Victoria.
Oz Tenpin is an Australian tenpin bowling and family entertainment chain, with venues including a popular centre in Shepparton, Victoria and administration based in Melbourne. They offer tenpin bowling lanes, casual games, league bowling, school and corporate group bookings, birthday party packages, and arcade and prize redemption games. Many locations also sell food and beverages and run special deals such as “all‑you‑can‑bowl” sessions, family passes, and off‑peak pricing.
A charge from Oz Tenpin will usually relate to in‑venue spending, such as game fees, shoe hire, arcade credits, food and drinks, or a bundled party or group package. You might also see Oz Tenpin on your statement for an online booking made through their website, a deposit for a birthday party or corporate function, or a league registration or prepayment. Some banks briefly label pre‑authorisations as charges, so a temporary hold may appear if your card was used to secure a booking or tab; this should drop off automatically once the final amount is processed.
To verify the charge, start by matching the transaction date and amount with any recent visits to a bowling or family entertainment centre, including parties you or your children attended. Check your email for booking confirmations or receipts from oztenpin.com.au, and ask family members who may have used your card for an outing. If you still have questions, visit their website to find the contact details for the specific centre you visited and call or email with the charge date and amount so staff can look it up in their point‑of‑sale system. If the charge appears incorrect and cannot be resolved with Oz Tenpin directly, contact your bank to discuss dispute or chargeback options.

These are the raw merchant codes that appear on bank and credit card statements that we've identified as belonging to Oz Tenpin.
Why did I get a charge from Oz Tenpin when I only made a booking online?
When you book lanes, a party, or a group event through oztenpin.com.au, the centre may require full prepayment or a deposit at the time of booking. This will appear on your statement under Oz Tenpin or a location‑specific name (for example, Oz Tenpin Shepparton). The remaining balance, if any, is then paid in‑venue on the day of your visit.
What are typical amounts I might see from Oz Tenpin on my statement?
Common charges include casual bowling games (often in the range of a few dollars per game per person), shoe hire, arcade credit loads (for example, round figures like $10, $20, or $50), and bundled party packages, which are usually higher once you’re paying for multiple guests. You may also see rounded amounts if you purchased a package deal or a per‑head group booking that was charged in a single transaction. The exact prices vary by centre, time, and promotion, so it’s best to confirm with the venue you attended.
Does Oz Tenpin use subscriptions or recurring billing?
Oz Tenpin primarily processes one‑time, visit‑based payments for games, packages, and food and drinks, and does not typically run monthly consumer subscriptions. However, league bowlers, schools, or corporate groups may be billed on a recurring schedule if they’ve arranged ongoing sessions or term‑based bookings with a centre. If you’re seeing repeated Oz Tenpin charges, check whether you or a family member is enrolled in a league, weekly deal, or standing group booking.
Why do I see a small or duplicate Oz Tenpin charge that later disappears?
Some Oz Tenpin centres may place a temporary authorisation hold on your card when you start a tab, secure a booking, or pay through certain terminals. Banks sometimes display these holds as pending charges, and they can be for small test amounts or for an estimated total spend. These authorisations should automatically reverse or be adjusted to the final transaction amount within a few business days, depending on your bank’s processing times.
How can I get a receipt or tax invoice for my Oz Tenpin transaction?
If you paid in‑venue, the receipt is normally printed at the register at the time of payment; staff can reprint this on the same day if you’re still at the centre. For online bookings, a confirmation email from oztenpin.com.au typically includes a summary of your payment, and some centres can email you a tax invoice on request. Contact the specific Oz Tenpin location listed on your booking, provide the transaction date, approximate time, and last four digits of your card, and ask them to look up and resend your receipt.
How do I change, cancel, or get a refund for an Oz Tenpin party or group booking?
Each Oz Tenpin centre sets its own booking and refund terms, but most require notice in advance to change or cancel a party or event, especially if a deposit has been paid. If you need to reschedule or cancel, contact the venue shown on your confirmation email or on oztenpin.com.au as soon as possible and provide your booking reference. Staff can explain whether your deposit is refundable, can be transferred to another date, or is kept as a credit, depending on their policy and how close you are to the event date.
How can I contact Oz Tenpin about a charge I don’t recognise?
Go to oztenpin.com.au and use the Locations or Contact section to find the phone number and email address of the centre you likely visited (for example, Oz Tenpin Shepparton). When you call or email, include the date, exact amount, and the name that appears on your bank statement, and advise that you’re querying a card transaction. They can check their point‑of‑sale records to confirm what was purchased and who the booking was under, and advise on next steps if something appears incorrect.
What should I do if I believe an Oz Tenpin charge is fraudulent or made without my permission?
First, confirm with family members or anyone else who might have used your card that they didn’t authorise a visit or booking at Oz Tenpin. If no one recognises the transaction and the centre cannot match it to you with a receipt or booking record, inform your bank immediately and follow their process to dispute the charge and secure your card. You can also notify the Oz Tenpin venue so they are aware of potential unauthorised use and can assist your bank with any investigation.
