⏱️ Estimated Response Times from Kayo Sports After Complaining

Honestly, getting a quick reply feels like a lottery win. Patience is key.

🔍 Tips to Get a Quicker Response from a Complaint

• Be Prepared: Have your account number, the email you signed up with, and any screenshots ready before you start a chat.
• Time Zone Trick: Try contacting them during Australian off-peak business hours. Think early morning or late evening in the US.
• Beat the Bot: If you're stuck with a chat bot, repeatedly type "speak to agent" or "human representative" to break through to a person.
• Be Direct: Don't write a novel. Clearly state your issue and the exact resolution you want (e.g., "I was overcharged $10, please refund it.").

How to Escalate Your Complaint

If Kayo's support is giving you the runaround, it's time to go over their heads. First, ask the support agent to escalate your issue to a manager or supervisor. Make sure you get a reference number for your complaint.

If that goes nowhere, you have external options in Australia, where Kayo is based:

• Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman (TIO): This is a powerful free and independent service. If your complaint is about streaming quality, connection issues, or misleading advertising about the service, the TIO may be able to help. You usually have to prove you've tried to resolve it with Kayo first. They take things seriously.
• Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC): For issues related to consumer rights, false advertising, or unfair contract terms, you can report Kayo to the ACCC. While they don't resolve individual disputes, they use reports to investigate companies, which can lead to large-scale action.

Filing with the TIO gets a company's attention fast. But be prepared, it's not an instant process.

Subject: Formal Complaint: Unresolved Issue with Account [[Your Email Address or Account #]]

Message:

I am writing for the third time to get a resolution for an issue that remains unsolved despite my previous attempts to contact support on [[Date of first contact]].

On [[Date of incident]], I was charged [[$Amount]] for my monthly subscription, yet the service was unusable. I experienced constant buffering and low-resolution streaming during the [[Name of Event/Game]], making it impossible to watch.

This is not the premium, HD streaming experience that Kayo advertises. Having to chase this up is a complete waste of my time.

To resolve this, I require a full refund of the [[$Amount]] charge for the affected period.

Please be aware that if this is not resolved and the refund is not processed within 48 hours, my next step will be to file a formal complaint with the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman (TIO) and leave public reviews detailing my experience.

I expect a prompt confirmation that this has been handled.

Additional Helpful Tips to get Your Complaint Resolved

• Always Ask for a Reference Number: Before the chat ends, say "Can I please get a reference number for this conversation?" It's your proof and leverage if you need to follow up. No joke.
• Name Drop the Ombudsman: Casually mentioning that your next step is the "TIO" can sometimes shift the conversation. A user on a forum mentioned the agent suddenly became much more helpful after they said that.
• Screenshot Everything: The error on screen, the chat transcript, your bank statement. If you end up needing to escalate, this evidence is gold.
• Don't Be Afraid to Go Public: If you're getting nowhere, post your frustration on X/Twitter and tag @kayosports. Keep it civil, state the facts, and include your unresolved complaint reference number.
