VeloBet Adds a 20% Monthly Dormant-Account Fee After 60 Days Idle - Sep 2026

VeloBet's general terms captured on 9 August 2026 contained no dormancy clause. The version detected on 1 September 2026 adds one as a new Clause 8, "Dormant Accounts", and renumbers every clause after it by one, so the withdrawal rules formerly at Clause 12 now sit at Clause 13.

• The trigger: a player account not logged into or out of for 60 consecutive days is deemed inactive. Nothing else is required of the company, and no notice is described.
• The fee: the company reserves the right to charge a monthly administrative fee of 20% of the account balance as recorded on the date inactivity was determined, which the clause names the "Initial Dormant Balance". The player is deemed to authorise the debit at the beginning of the month following the day the account was deemed inactive, and at the beginning of every subsequent month it remains so.
• Why it is 20% of the starting figure that matters: the clause states the fee is calculated on the Initial Dormant Balance each month "regardless of subsequent balance reductions". A fee that does not shrink with the balance clears it in exactly five deductions. A balance left untouched from 1 September is deemed dormant on 31 October, and five monthly debits from 1 November leave nothing by 1 March.
• The small-balance clause: where the remaining dormant balance is below the equivalent of 10 in any currency, the company reserves the right to deduct 100% of it as a final administrative fee. Ten is also the minimum withdrawal in these terms, so any dormant balance too small to withdraw is, by the same figure, small enough to be taken in full.
• What stops it: deductions cease when the balance reaches zero or when the account is reactivated by a login or other account activity. A login every 59 days resets the clock; the clause does not say whether reactivation restores anything already deducted, and nothing in it suggests it does.

This lands on top of the four 20% deductions already in the general terms, on early withdrawals, terminated accounts, shared payment details and Georgian players. Dormancy is now the fifth situation in which VeloBet's terms take a fifth of a player's money, and the only one that repeats every month.
