Exactly what happens from the moment you search to the moment you're on the field, or getting paid.
Booking, step by step

Search and filter
Find coaches or venues by sport, area, date, price and specialty: a batting coach, a swimming instructor, an indoor net or a floodlit futsal court.
Check the profile

Pick your slot
Choose a free time. We hold it for you for [X] minutes while you pay, so nobody else can take it.
Pay securely
Pay by [card and mobile wallet] through [payment partner], a licensed Sri Lankan payment provider. Playka never sees or stores your card details.
You're booked
Once the payment is confirmed, your booking is locked in. You'll get a confirmation and a reminder before your session.

Payment protection
Playka holds your payment until your session has happened. Coaches and venues are paid after the session, so if anything goes wrong, your money is still safe with us. And the price on the profile is exactly what you pay, with no extra charges.
- Your booking is only confirmed once the payment provider tells us the payment succeeded. If you see a confirmation, it's real.
- If your bank took money for a failed payment, it's reversed automatically, usually within [X] working days depending on your bank.
- You pay Playka, not the coach or venue directly. That way we can refund you if something goes wrong.
Plans change. We get it.
- You cancel more than [X] hours before
- Full refund to your original payment method.
- You cancel less than [X] hours before
- [Refund rule to be confirmed], because the coach or venue has kept that time for you.
- The coach or venue cancels or doesn't show
- Full refund, always.

Our team checks everything within [X] working days. You'll hear back with one of three outcomes:

Go live and get booked

Run the session

Get paid
We transfer your earnings, minus Playka's [X%] commission, to your bank account [every week]. Every booking, fee and payout is listed in Earnings.
Know exactly what you'll earn
Players pay upfront when they book, so you're never chasing cash. After each completed session, your earnings are added to your balance and paid out by bank transfer [every week].

If a player reports a problem with a session, that booking's payout is held until it's resolved. Everything else is paid on schedule.
No upfront cost. We only earn when you do.

Common questions
Can I book for someone else, like my child?
Yes. Book from your account and add the player's name in the booking notes.
Can I book a group or team session?
Yes, if the coach or venue offers group sessions. You'll see group options and prices on their profile.
How long does partner approval take?
Usually [X] working days. If we need anything else, we'll message you.
Can I still take bookings outside Playka?
Yes. Just block those times in your Calendar so players can't double-book you.
What if a player doesn't show up?
Bookings are paid in advance. How a no-show is paid out to you is set out in our partner terms.
Who do I contact if something goes wrong?
