Why Clubs Leave MATCHi

The four biggest reasons sports clubs are switching to Book & Go.

The 4% Service Fee is Non-Refundable

MATCHi charges a 4% service fee on every court and activity booking — and here's the kicker: the fee is non-refundable even if the player cancels. So you lose revenue on bookings that never happen. Book & Go has a flat subscription with zero per-booking commissions. All revenue stays with you.

Your Club is One Listing Among Many

MATCHi is a shared player app where your club is one listing alongside competitors. Players see every club in the area — including your rivals. With Book & Go, you get a native iOS/Android app published under YOUR club name. Players download your app, never see competitors, and build loyalty with your brand.

Players Belong to MATCHi, Not You

On the MATCHi marketplace, players are part of the MATCHi ecosystem. You can't export data, can't run direct email campaigns, can't build a unified CRM across locations. With Book & Go, you own 100% of player data, emails, and booking history — full control, no lock-in.

Limited to 8 Nordic/European Markets

MATCHi operates in Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Norway, Romania, Sweden, and Thailand. If your club is outside these markets — or if you plan to expand internationally — you need a global solution. Book & Go supports multi-language, multi-currency deployment worldwide.

Where MATCHi is Stronger

  • Strong Nordic/European Marketplace Network: MATCHi has an established player base across Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Norway, Romania, Sweden, and Thailand. If your club is in these markets, the MATCHi marketplace offers player discovery and cross-venue visibility.
  • Player Discovery & Marketplace Exposure: The shared MATCHi app gives clubs exposure to players searching for courts in their area. If your club is new or wants walk-in traffic from the MATCHi player base, the marketplace model provides discovery you would not get with a standalone app.
  • No Fee on Memberships or Subscriptions: MATCHi does not charge the 4% service fee on memberships, subscriptions, value cards, or punch cards. If your revenue model is membership-heavy rather than per-booking, the effective commission is lower.
