Why deposits fail: zero amounts, negative balances, and declined payments

Clear answers to the most common deposit and balance concerns.

Updated this week

Having trouble with your deposit or balance? This guide explains:

  • Why your deposit might not show in your balance.

  • Why you may see a negative balance.

  • Why your bank shows a charge after a declined deposit.

My deposit was declined, but my bank shows a charge, why?

Don’t worry, your money hasn’t gone missing.

When a deposit is declined, your bank or card issuer usually places a temporary hold on the amount while waiting for approval. This is not an actual charge.

The hold should automatically release within a few business days. If 10 business days have passed and the funds haven’t returned to your bank account (or still show as a debit), please contact Customer Support so we can investigate and resolve this for you.

What to include when you contact us

  • A screenshot or a copy of your bank/card statement showing the payment was successfully debited.

  • Time and date of the transaction.

  • Amount and currency.

  • Payment method or card issuer.

  • Transaction reference number.


I made a successful deposit but my balance is zero, why?

If you’ve received confirmation that your deposit was successful but your account still shows a zero balance, don’t worry, this can happen occasionally, and we’re here to help.

What you should do

When you contact us, include:

  • Payment type (e.g., debit card, e-wallet)

  • Deposit amount

  • Time of deposit

This information helps us investigate and update your balance quickly.


Why do I have a negative balance?

If you notice a negative balance in your account, it’s usually due to one of these reasons:

  • Settlement error:
    Sometimes a bet might be settled incorrectly as a win. If you spend those funds and the bet is later corrected as a loss, your account will show a negative balance.

  • Deposit error:
    If funds credited to your account were not actually received by us, you may see a negative balance because you’ve been able to bet with money that wasn’t successfully deposited.

What to do next?

In both cases, you’ll need to make a deposit to correct the balance before placing any further bets.
