Answers to common questions about booking courts, verification codes, payments and cancellations on KeySportsBooking.
Getting started
You do not need an account to book. Choose a sport, pick a venue and time, then verify your mobile number with a one-time code at the end.
Finding a booking again
Use Find My Booking, enter the mobile number you booked with, and confirm the code we send. Your bookings appear once the code is verified.

Booking
Do I need an account to book a court?
No. You can browse venues, check availability and complete a booking with just your name and mobile number. Creating an account is optional and only offered after your booking is made.
How far ahead can I book?
Most venues open bookings up to 30 days ahead. The date picker only shows dates the venue accepts, so anything you can select is genuinely bookable.
What does 'held' mean on a time slot?
When you select a time and court we hold that slot for a few minutes so nobody else can take it while you finish. If the hold expires, your selections are kept and you simply pick a time again.
Cancellations
How do I cancel?
Open Find My Booking, verify your mobile number and cancel from the booking. The refund that applies depends on the venue's cancellation window.
Can I change my booking time?
You can send a reschedule request from your booking. The venue confirms an alternative slot before anything changes.
Payment
Do I always have to pay online?
No. Payment requirements are set by each venue. Some need nothing upfront, some take payment at the venue, and others require a deposit or the full amount before confirming. The requirement is always shown before you submit.
What is a deposit?
A deposit is a part payment that secures your booking, with the balance settled at the venue. Where a deposit applies you will see the amount, the balance and any deadline before you confirm.
Venues
How do I list my venue?
Use the contact form and choose 'Venue partnership'. Venue onboarding and the venue admin tools are delivered in a later phase.
Verification
Why do you send a one-time code?
The code confirms the mobile number is yours, so the venue can reach you and so you can retrieve your bookings later without a password.
My code did not arrive. What now?
Wait for the resend timer to finish and request another code. You can also change the number if you entered it incorrectly. Each new code replaces the previous one.

Send us the details and we will come back to you on the number you provide.
