Pay for a game
How paid games work on Xsporty: ATH Móvil in-app checkout, PayPal and other links, payment statuses, reminders and refunds.
Updated · Leer en español
When a game costs money, you pay the organizer for your spot when you join — no cash at the court, no chasing after the game. Xsporty never holds the money; it goes straight to the organizer.
The payment screen
The price per player is on the event card and page, so there are no surprises. When you join a paid game, Payment Required opens with the organizer's payment options:
- Pay with ATH Móvil — if the organizer has an ATH Business account, this button opens the ATH Móvil app with the amount filled in. Come back to Xsporty and your spot is confirmed automatically. Works in the mobile apps for games of $1 or more.
- Payment links — ATH Móvil by number, PayPal, Venmo, Zelle or Cash App. Open or copy the link, pay in that app, then come back and tap I've Paid. The organizer sees your claim and confirms it.
- I Haven't Paid — join now and pay later, when the organizer allows it.
- Contact Admin — message the organizer if you're not sure how to pay.
What your status means
Your Up next card and the event page show where you stand:
- Paid — confirmed. You're all set.
- Pending — you tapped I've Paid and the organizer hasn't confirmed yet.
- Pay to confirm — you owe for this spot. Tap the chip to pay.
- Pay by {date} — the organizer set a deadline. Pay before it or your spot can be released.
Moved up from the reserve list on a paid game? You pay when you're promoted, with 24 hours by default.
Reminders
Unpaid players get a Payment Reminder — a daily nudge, up to three, plus 6-hour and 2-hour reminders before kickoff. Reminders stop as soon as you're marked paid, and they bypass quiet hours.
Free games
Games on public courts are often free. They show Free on the card, and you join without any payment.
Refunds
Payments go directly to the organizer, so refunds do too. Each organizer sets their own policy — look for it in the event description; a common one is "no refunds inside 24 hours unless someone from the reserve list takes your spot". If you can't make it, leave early so your spot can be refilled, and message the organizer in the event chat. See Leave a game.
Frequently asked questions
Which payment methods does Xsporty accept?
Whatever the organizer lists: ATH Móvil (with one-tap in-app checkout when they have an ATH Business account), PayPal, Venmo, Zelle and Cash App links.
I paid but I'm still Pending.
The organizer hasn't confirmed your payment yet. If it's been a while, message them in the event chat with your payment reference. ATH Móvil in-app payments confirm automatically.
Does Xsporty store my card?
No. Payments go through ATH Móvil, PayPal or the other apps, directly to the organizer. Xsporty doesn't process or hold the money.
