Every time a player makes a booking, Hypebox charges a R5.00 flat fee (inclusive of V.A.T.) to the player.
This is the only area Hypebox takes a fee and is in line with what players are currently paying on other popular booking platforms. (See the cost comparison below).

* Please note the app fee percentage from another international booking platform is 4% with a minimum of R4.89 based on the information we could find on the internet.
** The international transfer fee changes from bank to bank. We used Standard Bank as an example which charges 2.7% for international transactions. Your bank might have higher or lower fees, or your type of account could also dictate the fee you pay.

So as you can see, Hypebox is still aligned with the fees compared to other platforms, we are however on a R100 booking fee R 3.44 more expensive but on bigger payments (like a tournament entry fee), we are then in fact cheaper again, because we use a flat fee and not a percentage.
The reason for this is simple, we do not have premium subscriptions or in-app purchases. We have a wide variety of features not only in our app but even on this website which will always be free to every player. So if you book 4 times a month, you pay R20 in Hypebox fees for an application that provides you with a lot of features, all the statistics and information you need and also a web-based version of what you can do on the app.
We do not charge the clubs any fees, so with the fees clubs save, they can reduce their booking rates or increase tournament prize money, maintain or improve their facilities so at the end of the day, those savings are returned to the players. That not only strengthens the club, but the sport in general.
