The PDBA has partnered with Teampay to process gameday payments for all Independent Teams.
The Teampay app is available on Android and iOS which allows for real-time transfer of payments:
How it works:
- Teams receive a Teampay unique team code from the association prior to the season.
- The first player to register via the code is assigned as the team captain/team delegate.
- All subsequent players will be assigned as team members.
- Team captains/delegates can be changed if required.
- Players join the team via the Teampay app, using the unique code.
- All players can enter their Debit/Credit card details and add the card to their Teampay account. This information is securely stored with only the last 4 digits visible.
- Team delegates select available players on game night.
- Match fees are automatically split between all playing players.
- Payments will be only deducted from players that have been selected by the team captain/delegate.
As of February 2026, Teampay charges a transaction fee of $0.26** plus a 2.5% Stripe credit card processing fee for each player payment – Teampay Terms of Service
The app will clearly display the match fee & processing fee before the nominated team delegate finalises the transaction.
**Team delegates can also allocate the entire match payment to a single person. This option may suit teams who rotate who pays each week and can help minimise the $0.26 fee by applying it once rather than per player.
SUMMER 2026/27 TEAMPAY CODES:
TBC – teams will be contacted when Teampay codes become available for the Summer season.
- Teams must notify the PDBA if they are forfeiting a match.
- Independent teams must submit forfeits via the Teampay app.
- Club teams must notify their club of the forfeit.
Forfeit Fees:
| Notified 24+ hours before match | $90 |
| Notified within 24 hours of match or unnotified | $135 |
