About Timezone

Timezone is a family entertainment center brand offering arcade games, bowling, bumper cars, laser tag, mini-rides, ticket/prize redemption, and party packages. Originating in Australia and now headquartered in Singapore, Timezone operates locations across Asia-Pacific and beyond, including Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, the Philippines, India, Indonesia, and other countries. Guests typically load credit onto a Timezone game card (sometimes called a Powercard or Tap card) and tap to play games and attractions instead of using coins or cash at each machine.

A Timezone charge may appear on your bank or card statement when you purchase or reload a Timezone game card in-store, buy or top up a card online through timezonegames.com, book a birthday party or group event, or pay for attractions like bowling or laser tag. Charges are usually one‑time payments for card credit (e.g., fixed-value reloads like $20, $50, or custom amounts), play bundles, or party/event deposits and balances. Some locations may also process pre-authorizations or temporary holds when you first insert your card, especially for larger packages or when booking online; these pending amounts typically convert to a final charge or drop off after a few days if the transaction doesn’t complete.

If you’re unsure about a Timezone charge, start by checking your recent visits to any Timezone venue, online bookings via timezonegames.com, and any email or SMS receipts sent at the time of purchase. Look for a transaction description such as “TIMEZONE,” “TZ*TIMEZONEGAMES,” or similar on your statement, and compare the date and amount to your last arcade visit, party booking, or game card reload. For help, you can visit timezonegames.com, select your country, and use the “Contact Us” or “Feedback” form, or contact the specific venue you visited; have your bank statement, approximate visit date, and any card or booking numbers ready so their team can locate the transaction, explain the charge, refund duplicates if applicable, or help resolve any billing issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a Timezone charge on my card if I don’t remember paying at the counter?

Many Timezone venues use reloadable game cards that can be topped up at self‑service kiosks, online via timezonegames.com, or through mobile offers. If you or a family member used a kiosk, a QR promotion, or an online top-up, the charge may appear as a card-not-present or kiosk transaction instead of a staffed counter payment. Check with anyone in your household who might use your card, especially teenagers or children with a linked Timezone card. You can also contact the venue or Timezone customer service with the date and amount so they can confirm the top-up details.

What are common amounts I might be charged by Timezone?

Timezone typically charges for game-card credit bundles and attraction packages, which vary by country and venue. Common transactions are fixed-value reloads (for example, around $10–$20 for a small load, $30–$50 for a medium load, and higher amounts for large or promotional packages), bowling or laser tag sessions, and birthday or group party packages. Online bookings may also combine multiple items—like game credit plus a party room fee—into a single larger charge. Exact prices and currencies depend on the location you visited; check the pricing page for your country at timezonegames.com for current offers.

Does Timezone have subscriptions or recurring monthly charges?

Timezone’s core model is pay‑as‑you‑go using reloadable game cards, so most charges are one‑time payments, not subscriptions. Some regions may offer membership programs, loyalty schemes, or limited‑time passes, but these are typically fixed-duration products rather than auto‑renewing subscriptions. If you see multiple Timezone charges, it is usually due to repeated reloads, multiple visits, or separate bookings, not a recurring plan. If you suspect an unintended repeat charge, contact Timezone support or the venue with your statement details so they can investigate.

Why do I see a small or temporary Timezone charge that later disappeared or changed?

When you pay online at timezonegames.com or use certain terminals in-store, your bank may place a temporary authorization hold to verify your card. This can appear as a pending charge or a small test amount that never actually posts. Once the payment is finalized, the pending amount either converts to the final transaction or drops off, usually within a few business days. If a pending Timezone amount remains for more than a week, contact your bank first, then Timezone with any reference numbers for clarification.

How can I get a receipt or proof of my Timezone transaction?

If you paid in-store, you may have received a printed receipt at the counter or kiosk; many venues can reprint or look up receipts by date, time, and the last four digits of your card. For online top-ups or bookings made through timezonegames.com, a confirmation email is typically sent to the address you provided at checkout. Check your email (including spam/junk folders) around the transaction date for messages from Timezone or timezonegames.com. If you can’t find a receipt, contact the specific venue or Timezone customer service with the transaction date, amount, and the name on the card so they can attempt a lookup.

How do I cancel a Timezone party or group booking and will I get a refund?

Cancellation and refund rules for Timezone party and group bookings vary by country and venue, but generally you must cancel within a specified time frame (for example, several days in advance) to receive a full or partial refund of your deposit. If you booked online, check your confirmation email and the terms and conditions linked from timezonegames.com for the relevant policy. To change or cancel, contact the venue listed on your booking confirmation directly or use the contact details on the website. Provide your booking reference, name, and event date so they can process the cancellation and advise on any refunds or credits.

How can I dispute a Timezone charge or request a refund for unused credit?

If you believe you were charged incorrectly—such as a duplicate payment, wrong amount, or a transaction you don’t recognize—contact Timezone before going to your bank, as many issues can be resolved quickly. Visit timezonegames.com, select your country, and use the official contact or feedback form, or call the venue you visited; share a screenshot or photo of the bank statement entry, plus any receipts or card numbers. Timezone generally does not refund spent game credit, but may assist with clear errors like double charges, malfunctioning machines, or failed top-ups. If the transaction looks fraudulent and Timezone confirms it wasn’t processed with your card at their venues, follow your bank’s dispute process.

How do I contact Timezone about a charge on my statement?

Go to timezonegames.com and choose your country or region; from there, you’ll find a “Contact Us” or “Feedback” section with a web form, email addresses, and sometimes phone numbers for guest services. You can also locate the specific venue’s page to find its direct contact details. When reaching out, include the date and exact amount of the charge, the name on your card, the last four digits of the card number, and any booking or game card numbers you have. This information helps Timezone’s team quickly identify the transaction and explain, correct, or refund it where appropriate.
