The four biggest reasons sports clubs are switching to Book & Go.
On Playtomic, your club is a listing alongside competitors. Players search by location and see every club in the area — including your rivals. With Book & Go, you get a fully branded app published under YOUR name. Players download your app, never see competitors, and build loyalty with your brand.
Players on Playtomic belong to the marketplace, not to you. 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.
Payments go through Playtomic before reaching you — with a 7-day payout cycle. Book & Go connects your own Stripe or Revolut account: instant payouts (1–2 days), lower processing fees, and complete financial control. Your money, in your account.
