Fee
Fee
The fee is the amount each player pays to participate in a game. It covers the pitch, the balls, the kit — whatever the host has set up. Furbol calls it the participation fee.
Three ways a fee can be handled
Every game on Furbol has a pay method, set by the host when they create it:
- Cash — the fee is collected at the pitch, in person. Furbol doesn’t handle the money.
- Online — the fee runs through Furbol’s wallet. When you book, the amount leaves your wallet and lands in the host’s as a pending entry. It stays pending until three hours after the game ends, and only then becomes cashable for the host.
- Free — there’s no fee. Training sessions, casual meetups, anything the host wants to put on without charging.
The pay method is a property of the game, not the player. Everyone in the same game uses the same method.
How the amount is calculated
Hosts set a collecting amount for the game — the total they need to cover costs. Furbol divides that across the maximum number of players to get the per-player fee. If the game has goalkeepers who play for free or at a reduced rate, the outfield players’ share is adjusted to account for that.
The price you see on a game card is always the per-player fee for your spot.
