At XL Arena, customer satisfaction is our priority. This Refund Policy works in conjunction with our Cancellation Policy to clearly outline when and how refunds are issued. By booking through XL Arena, you acknowledge and agree to this Refund Policy.

We process refunds promptly and transparently. Refund eligibility is primarily determined by when you cancel relative to your booking slot and who initiates the cancellation (you or the turf partner).

2. Refund Eligibility Summary

Below is a quick reference for when refunds are issued:

Scenario Refund Eligibility Amount
Cancellation 48+ hours before slot ✓ Eligible 100% (minus gateway fees)
