Your Machine Should Be Earning.

Tennis: Lobster, Spinshot, Slinger, Playmate, Wilson — basically anything portable. Pickleball: Spinshot, Lobster, Simon. Hoppers, ball baskets, and gear bundles also list as long as they're functional. If your gear isn't in the dropdown when you list, just choose "Other" and write it in — we don't gatekeep brands.

You hand it off in person at a court you regularly play or coach at. You set the pickup spot and the available hours per machine when you list it, and the renter sees both before they book — so there's no day-of scramble.

Email us within 24 hours of return with your own photos from pickup and return — the in-app photo prompt and dispute thread are still on the way, so take them yourself for now. Our team will mediate the conversation between you and the renter — but because Kalaroo doesn't hold the money for the rental (you and the renter handle payment directly), we can't issue refunds or release a security deposit on your behalf. What we can do: document the dispute, weigh the photos and rental history, and decide whether the renter's rating takes a hit (which affects whether other owners will accept their future bookings). Repair costs are between you and the renter. Equipment insurance via a partner is exploratory — no timeline yet — so the honest answer is: damage is your exposure today, and the strongest protection is screening renters via rating + rental history before you accept.

Renters pay you directly — Kalaroo doesn't sit between you and your money. You and the renter settle however works for you both (GCash, bank transfer, cash on handover), and because there's no platform cut, what they pay is what you keep. Kalaroo handles discovery, renter ratings, and scheduling; the payment itself stays between you and the renter. Your dashboard keeps a record of every booking so you can track what you've earned and export it for taxes any time.

Yes — the calendar is opt-in only. Nothing is bookable until you mark it open. Set recurring blocks (e.g. "Tue/Thu 6-8am, every week"), open specific date windows, or just open slots one at a time. Renters can never book outside the windows you've explicitly opened.

Yes, on the same account. Your coach roster, session calendar, and machine listings all live under one login. Kalaroo doesn't take a commission on bookings on either side — and a machine listing is not a separate purchase: a paid plan carries its own listing allowance, and higher plans let you list more machines. On the free tier that allowance is zero, so listing needs a paid plan on your coach side or your player side, whichever is more generous.

Yes. Venue accounts get a multi-machine dashboard, team logins with role permissions (owner, manager, staff), and a consolidated booking and earnings view across every machine. Reach out via the application form if you're listing 5+ machines so we can set up the account properly from day one.
