A Shoalhaven City Lanes charge may appear on your bank or card statement after you’ve paid for bowling games, shoe hire, arcade credits, food and drinks, league or competition fees, or a group booking such as a birthday party or corporate event. In some cases you might see a pre-authorisation or “pending” amount if the venue opened a bar or party tab, or if your bank temporarily holds funds when a card is first processed. Charges are typically one‑off transactions, but you may see repeated charges if you visit regularly for league nights or if your group split payments across multiple cards.

To verify this charge, start by checking any recent visits to Shoalhaven City Lanes, including social events, kids’ parties, or group outings where your card may have been used for a shared tab. Compare the date and amount on your statement with receipts, email confirmations, or text messages from the venue, and ask family members or friends on the same account if they used your card there. If you still have questions, contact Shoalhaven City Lanes directly using the phone number or contact form listed on shoalhavencitylanes.com.au, or visit the centre in person with your statement; they can look up transactions by date, time, and amount, explain any pending holds, and advise on refunds or corrections if a billing error is found.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a Shoalhaven City Lanes charge on my card when I only remember going for a social game?

Most social visits are processed as a single card payment that can include multiple items—lane hire, shoe rental, arcade credits, and food or drinks. The statement will usually show one combined total under a description like “SHOALHAVEN CITY LANES BOMADERRY” or similar. Check if you paid for a group, opened a small bar tab, or added arcade credits at the counter, as these are often bundled into one charge.

Are there any subscriptions or recurring payments with Shoalhaven City Lanes?

Shoalhaven City Lanes typically operates on a pay‑as‑you‑go basis for bowling games, food, and entertainment, and does not generally offer subscription-style memberships billed automatically. However, regular league bowlers may see repeat charges on the same day each week or month if they pay league or practice fees by card each visit. If you are seeing frequent, unexpected repeat charges, contact the centre so they can review your transaction history and confirm whether each charge matches a visit.

What types of amounts are commonly charged by Shoalhaven City Lanes?

Common charge amounts include individual or group bowling sessions (often a rounded figure that may include shoe hire), birthday or group packages, arcade credit top‑ups, and food and beverage purchases. Larger totals may reflect pre‑booked party packages or corporate events, which can include lane time, catering, and drinks. If the amount seems higher than expected, consider whether you paid for multiple people or added extras like platters or additional games at the counter.

Why is there a small or duplicate Shoalhaven City Lanes transaction showing as ‘pending’?

Some banks show a temporary pre‑authorisation when your card is first processed, especially if you opened a bar tab or left your card with the counter for a party booking. This can appear as a pending amount separate from the final total, and the authorisation is usually reversed automatically within a few business days. If a pending hold does not disappear or appears to have been captured twice, contact both your bank and Shoalhaven City Lanes with the date and exact amounts so they can investigate.

How can I get a copy of my receipt or check what was included in my Shoalhaven City Lanes charge?

You can request a copy of your receipt directly from Shoalhaven City Lanes by calling the centre or using the contact details on shoalhavencitylanes.com.au. Provide the date and approximate time of your visit, the total amount, and the last four digits of the card used so staff can locate the transaction in their system. They can confirm line items such as number of games, shoe hire, food, and arcade credits, and email or print a copy for you.

How do I dispute a charge or request a refund from Shoalhaven City Lanes?

If you believe you were overcharged, charged twice, or billed for something you did not receive, contact Shoalhaven City Lanes directly as soon as possible. Have your bank statement, any receipts, and relevant details (date, time, and amount) ready so staff can look up the transaction and verify what occurred. If an error is confirmed, they can usually process a refund back to the original payment method; if the venue can’t resolve it, you can then raise a dispute with your bank.

How are birthday parties or group bookings billed at Shoalhaven City Lanes?

Party and group bookings are often charged as a package amount that can include lane hire, games, shoe rental, food platters, and drinks. In some cases, a deposit may be taken at the time of booking, with the balance paid on the day, which can result in two separate charges on your statement. If you’re unsure whether a charge is a deposit or final payment, contact the centre with your booking name and date and they can confirm the breakdown.

How can I contact Shoalhaven City Lanes about a charge on my statement?

Visit shoalhavencitylanes.com.au and use the phone number or contact form listed on their Contact or About page to reach the venue directly. When you call or write, include the date of the charge, the exact amount, how it appears on your statement, and the last four digits of your card so staff can quickly locate the transaction. You can also visit the centre in person in Bomaderry with your ID and statement if you prefer to speak to someone face‑to‑face.
