MATCHING PROCESS
To use our matching service, you must create a profile that includes your name, location, favorite sports, teams, events, and any specific preferences or interests. Our proprietary algorithm uses your profile information to match you with other users based on criteria such as geographical location, favorite sports, teams, desired events, and additional preferences. Matches are made on a rolling basis as new users join and existing users update their profiles.
After receiving a match notification, both parties are responsible for initiating contact and communicating with each other. Users are encouraged to discuss interests and plan sports experiences together, including sharing tips, coordinating travel plans, and planning meetups around sports events.
Your Sports Match will continue to match you with new users as they join the platform and as your profile is updated. Update your profile to reflect new areas of interest or to explore different sports, cities, or teams. Selected matches may be featured as “Match of the Month,” with user consent.
FEES AND PAYMENTS
Each successful match incurs a matching fee of $49.90, shared equally between the matched parties, with each party responsible for paying $24.95.
Upon matching, an invoice for $24.95 will be sent to each party via email. The invoice must be paid promptly to finalize the match. Payment instructions and options will be included in the invoice. Payments are due upon receipt of the invoice. Failure to pay may result in match cancellation and account suspension until the fee is paid.
During specific promotional periods, such as the Summer Special, matching fees may be waived. These periods will be communicated to users via our website and email notifications.
Matching fees are non-refundable once paid. Users may cancel a match after payment, but no refund will be provided. Users can continue to receive new matches by keeping their profile active.
