many clubs aren’t fully aware of the true, hidden costs associated with international booking platforms — or how much revenue is quietly slipping away every single month.
That’s why we’re committed to full transparency.
🧾 Here’s How the Costs Add Up:
📅 1. Monthly Subscription Fees
Most international platforms charge clubs a monthly fee just to use their software:
• R791.86 to R5,864.75/month
• Most SA clubs fall into the R2,803.95/month tier (Excl. VAT)
• R791.86 to R5,864.75/month
• Most SA clubs fall into the R2,803.95/month tier (Excl. VAT)
💳 2. Commission on Every Booking
In addition to the subscription these platforms take 3.5% of every booking
🕒 3. Delayed Payouts
Clubs are often paid out only every 2 to 4 weeks
The platform earns interest on your money while you wait

🌍 5. Zero Local Economic Support
These platforms are not registered in South Africa
They don’t pay local VAT
So every rand spent supports a foreign company, not local sport
