About Strike Bowling

Strike Bowling is an Australian bowling‑led entertainment brand operated by Funlab, with venues across major cities including Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and more. At Strike you’ll find ten‑pin bowling lanes alongside laser tag arenas, karaoke rooms, escape rooms, arcade and party games, plus a full food menu and licensed bar. They cater to casual visits, kids’ parties, corporate functions, hens/bucks nights and large group events, with most activities able to be booked and paid for online in advance via strikebowling.com.au.

A Strike Bowling charge may appear on your bank or card statement when you book activities online, pay a deposit for a group event, settle your tab in‑venue, or purchase a gift card. Common scenarios include pre‑paid bowling or laser tag sessions, bundled activity packages, bar and food tabs, or function packages that combine activities, food and drinks. You might also see a separate or slightly different amount for add‑ons (like extra games, shoe hire, arcade credits, or extended room time) or an authorization hold placed when you open a bar tab or verify a card during online booking; these holds usually drop off within a few business days if not converted into a final charge.

If you’re unsure about a Strike Bowling charge, first check recent emails for booking confirmations from Strike or Funlab, as well as any text messages about reservations. Look at your calendar for recent social events, parties or work functions held at a Strike venue, and ask family members or colleagues who may have used your card with permission. To resolve questions, visit strikebowling.com.au and use the Contact or “Help” section to reach the bookings team, or call the specific venue listed on your booking confirmation to query the transaction. Keep the date, exact amount, and any reference number from your statement handy—this will help them quickly look up your booking, resend receipts, adjust overcharges, or assist with cancellations and refunds according to their policies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a Strike Bowling charge on my statement when I haven’t been recently?

Strike Bowling charges often relate to online bookings that were made in advance, deposits for future events, or group bookings where one person paid on behalf of others. Check whether you (or a family member using your card) booked a party, work event, or gift card for a later date. Some corporate or school bookings are paid weeks in advance, so the charge date may not match the actual event date.

What are typical amounts Strike Bowling might charge my card?

Common Strike Bowling charges include per‑person activity fees (such as bowling or laser tag) that often fall in the AUD $20–$40 per person range depending on the package, time, and location. Group and function packages that bundle activities, food and drinks can range from roughly AUD $40–$100+ per person. Smaller amounts (e.g., AUD $5–$30) may be for arcade top‑ups, bar purchases, or add‑ons like extra games or extended karaoke/escape room time. Final prices vary by venue, day of the week, and promotional offers.

Does Strike Bowling use subscriptions or recurring billing?

Strike Bowling does not typically operate on a subscription model for casual guests; most charges are one‑off payments for specific bookings or in‑venue spending. However, you may see multiple Strike charges in a short period if you made several bookings, visited more than once, or ran a bar/arcade tab that settled separately from your activity payment. If you see repeated monthly or weekly charges you don’t recognize, contact Strike or your bank immediately to confirm whether an account has been misused.

Why is there a small or duplicate Strike Bowling charge or a pending amount on my card?

When you book online or open a bar tab in‑venue, Strike (or its payment processor) may place a temporary authorization hold on your card to confirm available funds. This can appear as a pending charge or a small test amount, which is normally reversed automatically within a few business days if it’s not captured as the final payment. If a pending Strike charge remains on your statement for more than 7 business days, contact your bank and then the venue or Strike support with the exact date and amount to have it investigated.

How do I cancel or change a Strike Bowling booking and stop any upcoming charges?

To cancel or modify a booking, go to strikebowling.com.au and use the “Manage Booking” link (if provided in your confirmation email) or contact the venue or bookings team directly. Cancellation and rescheduling cut‑off times vary depending on the size and type of event (e.g., standard bookings vs. large functions), and deposits may be non‑refundable if you cancel too close to your session time. Always refer to the cancellation policy in your confirmation email, as some bookings can be moved to a new date rather than fully cancelled.

How can I request a refund or dispute an incorrect Strike Bowling charge?

Start by locating your booking confirmation email or receipt, then contact the specific Strike venue or the bookings team through the contact form or details on strikebowling.com.au. Provide your full name, booking reference (if available), date and time of visit, and the exact amount and date of the charge you’re querying. Refund eligibility depends on the circumstances—such as double charges, overpayments, technical issues, or cancellations within policy—and in many cases they may offer either a refund or venue credit. If you cannot resolve the issue directly, you can also raise a dispute with your bank or card issuer.

How do I contact Strike Bowling about a mystery charge on my account?

Visit strikebowling.com.au and navigate to the “Contact” or “Locations” section to find phone numbers and contact details for each venue, as well as a general enquiry or bookings form. If you know which venue you visited, calling the venue directly is usually the fastest way to have a staff member look up your booking by date, time and name. For online‑only transactions or if you’re unsure which site processed the payment, use the online contact form and attach a screenshot of the charge (hiding sensitive card details) so the team can trace it.

I booked through a package or third‑party deal—why does my bank still show Strike Bowling as the merchant?

Even if you accessed an offer via a third‑party site or promotion, the actual payment may be processed directly by Strike Bowling or its parent company Funlab, so your statement can show “Strike Bowling,” “Strike,” “Funlab,” or a venue name. This is common when a third‑party redirects you to Strike’s own booking system for final payment. Check both your third‑party confirmation and the Strike confirmation email—together they will usually explain the total amount and who processed the payment.
