Frequently asked questions
Cancel Mater Lotteries: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel your Mater Lotteries membership and stop monthly charges in australia
Why you might want to cancel Mater Lotteries
Recurring monthly charges from Mater Lotteries subscriptions can mount quickly, and many members find themselves paying for VIP membership or prize draw entries they no longer value. Whether your financial circumstances have changed, you have not won prizes that justify the expense, or you simply want to regain control of your spending, Yafee understands that cancellation is often the right choice.
Common reasons for cancellation
Members typically cancel Mater Lotteries for these key reasons: monthly charges no longer fit the budget, marketing emails or SMS messages persist despite opting out, no prize wins have materialised over time, or they discovered they were locked into ongoing billing after a single one-off ticket purchase. If any of these circumstances apply to you, taking action now prevents future debits and restores peace of mind.
What cancellation means for your account
Cancelling your Mater Lotteries membership halts all future monthly charges and removes you from VIP bonus draw entries. Cancellation does not automatically refund charges already processed or paid. Your eligibility for active or pending prize draws depends on whether your last payment cleared before the draw closing date. This timing matters: if you cancel mid-month, your next scheduled charge on your join date will still process unless you act beforehand. Yafee recommends cancelling before your billing date to avoid a final unwanted debit.
How Mater Lotteries billing and membership operates
Understanding your billing cycle and membership structure is essential to executing a clean, complete cancellation.
VIP membership tiers and monthly costs
Mater Lotteries charges membership fees monthly on your join date anniversary. VIP tiers provide automatic entry to bonus prize draws as long as charges succeed and the subscription remains active. Below is the current pricing structure:
| Membership tier | Monthly cost (AUD) | Key benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Standard VIP | $30 | Automatic monthly draw entries |
| Premium VIP | $50 | Increased entry frequency and bonus draws |
| Elite VIP | $100 | Maximum entries and exclusive prize pools |
| Single ticket purchase | From $2 | One-time entry only (not ongoing unless auto-renew enabled) |
Individual lottery tickets start at $2 each and represent one-time purchases. They do not trigger recurring subscriptions unless you explicitly select an automatic renewal option during checkout. Always uncheck "auto-renew" if you intend a single purchase only.
Billing cycle and refund eligibility
Your VIP membership charge processes automatically on the same date each month (your join date). Once a charge succeeds, you remain eligible for all VIP bonus draws scheduled before your next billing date. If a payment fails or declines, you lose VIP eligibility for subsequent draws, even if you later update your payment method. Cancelling mid-month does not pause your upcoming charge: your next monthly debit will process on your join date unless you cancel in advance. To avoid a final charge, cancel before your billing date arrives.
Your consumer rights under australian consumer law
Australian Consumer Law and state fair trading laws protect you when cancelling Mater Lotteries subscriptions, regardless of whether you signed up online or by phone.
The 14-day cooling-off right
You hold a 14-day cooling-off period for distance contracts (such as online or phone subscriptions) under the Australian Consumer Law. This right applies automatically to your Mater Lotteries membership if you purchased it online, by telephone, or through a digital channel. If you cancel within 14 days of joining, Mater Lotteries must refund your membership fee in full. The prize pool itself is not refundable, but the subscription cost is protected. You are not required to provide a reason for cancellation within this window.
Your legal position: If you joined Mater Lotteries within the last 14 days, explicitly reference the cooling-off period in your cancellation request. Write "I am exercising my 14-day cooling-off right under the Australian Consumer Law" to ensure the company processes a refund rather than a simple cancellation.
Unfair contract terms and automatic renewal
The Australian Consumer Law also prohibits unfair contract terms. If Mater Lotteries auto-renewal clause is unclear, buried in fine print, or makes cancellation unreasonably difficult, it may breach consumer protection standards. Consequently, the company must provide transparent, easily accessible cancellation methods. If you encounter barriers to cancellation, document them and escalate to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) if needed.
Cancellation methods: which route suits you best
Mater Lotteries offers three primary cancellation channels. Choose the method that offers you the clearest evidence of your request.
Cancel by mail with written proof
Sending a formal written cancellation request via post creates an auditable paper trail and is advisable if you have experienced billing disputes or payment failures. This method takes longer but provides definitive proof of your cancellation date.
- Prepare a written letter including your full name, registered postal address, membership number (if you have it), and the date you are requesting cancellation to take effect.
- State clearly: "I wish to cancel my Mater Lotteries membership effective immediately."
- Request written confirmation of cancellation in reply.
- Address your letter to: Locked Bag 111, Fortitude Valley, QLD 4006.
- Post your letter via Australia Post (standard or registered mail; registered mail is recommended for proof of delivery).
- Retain your receipt and letter copy for your records.
- Allow 10-15 business days for processing once the letter arrives.
- Contact Mater Lotteries if you do not receive written confirmation within 20 days.
Cancel by telephone with immediate confirmation
Calling Supporter Care offers immediate verbal confirmation and is the fastest method. However, request that the company send written confirmation via email to create a record of your cancellation date.
- Call Mater Lotteries Supporter Care on 1800 067 066.
- Call during business hours (typically Monday to Friday, 8 am to 5 pm AEST).
- Have your membership details and registered postal address ready.
- Inform the representative: "I wish to cancel my Mater Lotteries membership effective immediately."
- Request the following information before hanging up:
- A cancellation confirmation number.
- The effective cancellation date.
- Confirmation that no further charges will process.
- A written confirmation email sent to your registered email address.
- Note the date, time, and representative's name during the call.
- Check your email within 24 hours for written confirmation.
- If you do not receive email confirmation within 2 business days, call again and request it in writing.
Cancel online via your account or live chat
If you have an active online account, logging in to cancel or using live chat is the most convenient option and provides immediate written confirmation through the platform.
- Log in to your Mater Lotteries account at the official website.
- Use your registered email address and password.
- Navigate to your account settings or membership management section.
- Look for a "Cancel membership" or "Cancel subscription" link or button.
- Follow the on-screen prompts and confirm your cancellation request.
- Screenshot or save your confirmation page (showing cancellation date and confirmation number) for your records.
- Alternatively, use the live chat feature if a cancellation button is not available:
- Open live chat from your account dashboard.
- Message: "I wish to cancel my Mater Lotteries membership immediately. Please confirm the cancellation date and confirmation number."
- Save or screenshot the entire chat conversation.
- Email support if live chat is unavailable, and request a cancellation confirmation email in return.
What happens after your cancellation
Understanding the post-cancellation period protects you from unexpected charges and ensures a clean break from Mater Lotteries.
Confirming your cancellation and monitoring your account
Within 3-5 business days of submitting your cancellation request (via any method), Mater Lotteries must honour the request and halt future recurring charges. However, it is your responsibility to verify this has occurred. Log in to your account or review your bank statements to confirm no charge has processed on your next billing date.
Check your bank or credit card statement 5 days after your join date (the scheduled billing date) to ensure no debit appeared. If a charge has processed after your cancellation, contact Mater Lotteries immediately with proof of your cancellation request. Request a full refund of that unauthorised charge under the Australian Consumer Law, which protects you against charges made after a confirmed cancellation.
Remaining draw eligibility and prize notifications
Once you cancel, you are removed from future VIP bonus draws and will not receive invitations to premium draw events. However, if your final payment cleared before a draw's closing date, you remain eligible to win from that specific draw. Mater Lotteries may continue sending prize notification emails if you have entered active draws; these are legitimate and not a sign your cancellation failed. Unsubscribe from marketing emails separately if you wish (see below).
Unsubscribe from marketing communications
Cancelling your membership does not automatically stop promotional emails or SMS messages. You must unsubscribe from marketing separately to halt these communications.
- For email marketing: Look for the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any marketing email from Mater Lotteries and click it. This stops promotional emails immediately.
- For SMS marketing: Reply to any promotional text with "STOP" or contact Supporter Care on 1800 067 066 and request removal from the SMS list.
- Log in to your account and update your communication preferences to opt out of all promotional channels.
- If unwanted messages continue after 10 days, contact the ACCC or lodge a complaint with your state fair trading authority.
Refunds and credit: what you can recover
Your refund eligibility depends on when you cancel and whether you are within the 14-day cooling-off period.
Within 14 days of joining
If you cancel within 14 days of your original purchase, you are entitled to a full refund of your membership fee under the Australian Consumer Law cooling-off right. This applies regardless of whether you have entered any draws or won any prizes. Mater Lotteries must refund the amount within 14 days of your cancellation request. If the company does not refund within this timeframe, escalate to the ACCC.
After 14 days
Once the 14-day cooling-off period has expired, refunds for membership fees are not automatic. Nevertheless, Mater Lotteries may offer a pro-rata refund for the portion of your current billing month that remains after cancellation, depending on their refund policy. Contact them directly and request a refund explanation. If they refuse a refund you believe is fair, and if your cancellation was because of an unfair contract term, misleading conduct, or a failed charge, lodge a dispute with the ACCC or your state consumer protection body.
Prize fund and ticket refunds
The lottery prize fund is not refundable. Once your membership fee or ticket purchase is processed, that money enters the prize pool. You retain your eligibility for draws that close before your cancellation date, but you cannot recover the ticket cost itself.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Most cancellations succeed without issue, but these preventable errors can delay the process or leave you vulnerable to further charges.
Assuming email alone confirms cancellation
Sending an email to a general support address is risky: it may be lost, misfiled, or take weeks to process. Always use a dedicated cancellation channel (phone, online account, or registered mail) and request written confirmation with a cancellation number and date. Email is acceptable only if you use the live chat or support form built into your account, which generates an audit trail.
Cancelling immediately before your billing date
If you cancel one or two days before your monthly charge date, the charge may still process if the system has already queued it. Always cancel at least 3-5 days before your join date billing date to guarantee the charge does not go through. If it does, contact Mater Lotteries within 24 hours and request an immediate refund.
Ignoring post-cancellation verification
Failing to check your bank statement on or after your next expected billing date leaves you unaware if an unauthorised charge has occurred. Set a calendar reminder to verify your account 5 days after cancellation. If a charge appears, document it and contact Mater Lotteries with proof of cancellation.
Not requesting written confirmation
Verbal cancellation over the phone is valid, but always request written confirmation via email. If a dispute arises about your cancellation date, you will have documentary evidence. Screenshots of online cancellations are equally important: save them immediately.
Refund and cancellation comparison table
Use this table to identify your best cancellation path and refund eligibility:
| Scenario | Refund eligible | Best cancellation method |
|---|---|---|
| Within 14 days of joining | Yes, full refund | Phone or online (fastest) |
| After 14 days, no disputes | Unlikely (check company policy) | Online or phone (convenient) |
| Billing dispute or failed charges | Possibly (escalate to ACCC) | Registered mail (audit trail) |
| Charge processed after cancellation | Yes, refund that charge | Phone (immediate escalation) |
| Cancelled but still receiving emails | No refund needed | Unsubscribe link or SMS STOP |
| Unsure of membership status | Depends on terms | Phone to clarify before cancelling |
Pre-cancellation checklist
Complete this checklist before you submit your cancellation request to ensure a smooth process:
- Gather your full name, registered postal address, and membership number (found in your welcome email or account).
- Note your join date and next scheduled billing date (check your bank statement or account statement).
- Record the current date and confirm you want to cancel effective immediately.
- If within 14 days, prepare to cite the cooling-off period in your cancellation request.
- Choose your cancellation method (phone is fastest, mail is most documented, online is most convenient).
- If calling, have a pen ready to note the confirmation number and representative's name.
- If mailing, print a copy of your cancellation letter for your records.
- If cancelling online, plan to screenshot the confirmation page immediately.
- Set a calendar reminder to verify no charge appears 5 days after your next scheduled billing date.
- Have your bank statement or app open to monitor for unexpected charges in the following days.
Escalation: what to do if Mater Lotteries refuses to cancel
In rare circumstances, Mater Lotteries may deny your cancellation request or claim you lack the authority to cancel. This is a breach of your consumer rights. Escalate immediately using these steps.
First escalation: formal written complaint
Send a formal written complaint to Mater Lotteries Supporter Care via registered mail (to the postal address provided earlier). Outline your cancellation request, the date you made it, how you made it, and the company's refusal or inaction. Request a written response within 14 days. This creates an official complaint record.
Second escalation: australian competition and consumer commission
If Mater Lotteries does not respond or continues to refuse cancellation, lodge a complaint with the ACCC at accc.gov.au or call 1300 302 502. The ACCC enforces the Australian Consumer Law and can compel the company to honour your cancellation and refund request. Include copies of your cancellation request, confirmation of receipt, and any refusal correspondence.
Third escalation: state fair trading authority
Depending on your state (Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, etc.), you may also lodge a complaint with your state's fair trading office or consumer protection body. These agencies investigate unfair contract terms and deceptive conduct related to auto-renewal subscriptions.
