Multiplay is a booking marketplace for real-world sports sessions. Local hosts and clubs list scheduled, paid sessions at physical venues near you — Cricket, Football, Pickleball, Basketball, and more. You choose a session, pay for your spot, turn up, and play. BROWSE WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT Open the app and browse every upcoming session near you. Filter by sport, date, or venue. Tap a session card to see the full details — location, host, format, price, and how many spots are left. No signup required to explore. BOOK YOUR SPOT Sign up when you're ready to book. Pay per session with your credit or debit card via Stripe, or top up your in-app wallet with credits and use those instead. Wallet credits are refunded automatically when a host cancels a session or when you cancel within the refund window. CHAT WITH HOSTS AND PLAYERS Every booked session has its own group chat so you can coordinate with the host and other players. You can also start 1:1 direct chats with hosts. Every message can be reported, and any user can be blocked — offensive content and abusive users are removed by our moderation team within 24 hours. HOST YOUR OWN SESSIONS Verified hosts can create and manage their own sessions from the Home screen, set the price and player cap, message their players, and get paid directly to their bank via Stripe. REFER FRIENDS, EARN CREDITS Share your referral code — when a friend signs up and books their first session, you both earn credits toward future bookings. WHO IT'S FOR Multiplay is for anyone 18 or older who wants to play social, casual, or competitive sport at a scheduled time and place — not a chat app, not a workout tracker, not a virtual/online game. Every session is a real, in-person event. TERMS OF USE, PRIVACY POLICY, AND CONTACT https://multiplay.co.nz/terms/ https://multiplay.co.nz/privacy/
