How it works

From your first booking to your first MVP title — here's everything you need to know.

Getting started

From download to kick-off

1

Create your profile

Sign up with your email, Google or Apple account. Add your name, date of birth (16+), a profile photo and your region — that's what decides which sessions you see.

2

Book a session

Browse the upcoming sessions in your region and pick your team: Team Black or Team Colour. Pay securely by card, or use a ProjectCoin if you have one. Session full? Join the waitlist and get notified the moment a spot opens up.

3

Show up and play

Bring both a black/dark-grey and a bright jersey so teams can always be balanced. The Ball Captains bring the ball and handle the attendance list — you just play football.

4

Vote for the MVP

After the match, attendance is submitted and the MVP voting opens for 24 hours. One vote per player — and no, you can't vote for yourself.

5

Earn XP and climb the ranking

Playing, voting and winning the MVP title all earn you XP. Level up and climb the leaderboard in your region. Every match counts.

Progression

XP, levels & the leaderboard

Everything you do on the pitch moves you forward:

Play a session

Attend a session and earn +200 XP plus one on your "played" counter.

Cast your MVP vote

Voting after the match earns you +100 XP. Fair play pays off.

Become the MVP

Winning the vote is worth +500 XP and an MVP title on your profile. A tie? All winners count.

Your XP fills up the bar of your current level — each level needs a bit more than the last. The leaderboard ranks players by MVP titles, sessions played and XP.

Free football

The Ball Captain

Every team has one Ball Captain — and the Ball Captain plays for free. In return, you take on two responsibilities:

You need at least one played session before you can become a captain. Don't submit the attendance list in time, or cancel last-minute as captain, and you permanently lose the captain privilege — the session depends on you.

Fair & flexible

Payments, ProjectCoins & cancellations

ProjectCoins

One coin = one session, whatever its price. You receive coins when you cancel on time, when a session gets cancelled, or as compensation if a session fills up while your payment is processing. Coins are personal, never expire and can't be exchanged for cash.

Secure payments

Card payments run through Stripe — we never see or store your card details. Prices vary per venue and region and are always shown before you book.

Cancellation policy

SituationWhat you get back
You cancel more than 12 hours before kick-offPaid by card: your choice — a ProjectCoin (instant) or a refund to your card (5–10 business days). Paid with a coin: your coin back.
You cancel within 12 hoursNo refund, and you receive a strike.
You don't show upNo refund, and you receive a strike.
We cancel the session (e.g. fewer than 8 players by 2 hours before kick-off)Automatic refund in your payment method: coin back, or card refund via Stripe.

Three strikes blocks your account from booking — contact us through the app if you think that's unfair and we'll take a look.
