How do I pay for an Unsecured Entry?

Updated 15 Oct 2026

An Unsecured Entry occurs when a person making a competition entry has completed all the required steps but then does not finalise a payment. The entry appears as Unsecured for the entrant and as Tentative for the competition administrator.

The common reasons this may occur are:

  • Internet outage or computer shutdown at payment stage.
  • Payment failed – card out of date, insufficient funds or payment gateway issue in processing.
  • Entrant did not realise payment was required with entry and had no card available.

Here is a link to BowlsLink Support on How to Make Payment for an Unsecured Entry via BowlsLink.
