Users Advised to Withdraw Outstanding Bets

For users with outstanding bets, Tipico advises logging in to withdraw any excess funds or cash out open bets. The company will provide specific details on how future wagers that settle beyond the transition date will be handled, ensuring transparency and ease for all bettors.

Account Balances Can Be Withdrawn

Withdrawals can be made through the application menu under “My Wallet”. Users can continue to access their accounts to withdraw any remaining funds for the next few months. Tipico will communicate a closing date soon, and for any remaining funds, the company plans to issue refund checks. To facilitate this, users should ensure their contact information is up to date in the app.
