Can You Pay Cash to Book a Court in Sri Lanka?

Yes — you can pay cash to book a court in Sri Lanka. Most indoor cricket and futsal venues let you reserve your slot online and simply pay cash when you arrive. Cash is how the majority of court bookings here are paid, so it's a first-class option, not a workaround.

How does paying cash work?

You pick a venue and a live slot, confirm the booking, and pay at the counter when you turn up to play. Your slot is held for you, and the venue expects you — you just settle up in cash on arrival, the way most players already do.

Do I have to pay online to reserve a slot?

Not at venues that accept cash. You still get the benefit of booking online — you can see real availability and lock in your time — without needing a card. The reservation and the payment are separate steps.

Is online card payment available?

Secure online card payment is coming soon to CricBook. When it launches, you'll be able to pay in advance and get an instant digital pass — but paying cash at the venue will remain an option wherever the venue offers it.

Why does cash matter here?

Because it's how this market actually works. A booking platform that ignores cash makes life harder for players and owners alike. Booking online while paying cash gives you the best of both: no phone calls to check availability, and no card required.
