You can submit a withdrawal request via the 'Banking' tab in ’My Account’.

Deposited funds must be turned over at least once before they will be able to be withdrawn.

Withdrawal requests are processed twice daily with cut off times at 11AM and 6PM with processing generally done within a two hour window.

We use commonwealth bank fast payments and in most cases funds are instantly available. In some cases, it may take 2 to 5 Business Days for withdrawn funds to land in your Bank.

For Customers who have deposited via a credit card from an Australian financial institution, withdrawn funds will be returned to the credit card from which the deposit was made up to the total amount of all deposits made from the relevant credit card. If the amount being withdrawn exceeds the total amount of all deposits made from the relevant credit card, the Customer can elect to have the surplus transferred to a bank account rather than their credit card.

If you placed your bet on the scratched runner before the declaration of the final field (i.e. the time at which final acceptances are lodged), your bet is lost. If the bet formed part of a multi-leg or parlay bet, the entire multi-leg bet is lost.

If you placed your bet on the scratched runner after the declaration of the final field (i.e. the time at which final acceptances are lodged), your bet will be refunded in full except if the bet formed part of a multi-leg or parlay bet, in which event the multi-leg bet will stand and the dividend will be downwardly adjusted to account for the removal of the bet on the scratched runner.

The minimum amount that a Customer can stake on any wager is $1.00.

The amount that a Customer is able to stake on any wager will be determined on a case-by-case basis by JimmyBet Management depending on the event on which the wager is placed and the prevailing market conditions.

JimmyBet will attempt to satisfy all bet requests but may, at its sole and absolute discretion, reject or partially accept certain bet requests subject to any 'Minimum Bet Limits' applicable to the relevant event.
