Fair peak allocation
Booking Lottery
Your most-fought-over windows run as an automatic draw, so nobody has to sit up at midnight and nobody argues favoritism at the desk.

From peak-hour scramble to fair, hands-off allocation
Members race the clock the second Saturday opens, then blame the desk when they lose
Peak windows run as a random draw, so allocation is fair and nobody argues with the receptionist
Chasing winners for payment, then refunding everyone who missed out by hand
Winners pay inside their offer window, and non-winners are refunded automatically
A no-show winner freezes a prime court that someone waiting could have played on
A lapsed offer moves to the next applicant, and unclaimed slots return to the live grid
How clubs run the lottery on TEKKA
Mark the windows, let the draw and the offers run themselves, and keep every unclaimed minute earning.
Windows
Mark only the peak times as a draw
Flag your high-demand ranges, Saturday mornings and weekday evenings, as lottery windows. Everything else stays on your normal grid for instant booking.
Offers
Winners pay, passes cascade automatically
On draw day, applicants are picked at random and offered the slot with a 12-hour payment window. Miss it and the offer moves to the next in line, with no staff chasing and no frozen courts.
Release
Unclaimed slots go back to earning
Once the draw settles, any court nobody confirmed drops back onto the live grid for instant booking, and non-winners are refunded for you.
How it works
- 1
Mark peak windows as lottery
Pick the weekday and time ranges where demand outstrips supply and set them to run as a draw.
- 2
Members enter the draw
Players see a lottery badge on those slots and enter for free, days ahead, with no first-come crush on your servers.
- 3
The draw runs and offers cascade
TEKKA picks winners at random, offers each one the slot with a payment window, and passes lapsed offers down the queue on its own.
- 4
Refunds and leftovers, handled
Non-winners are refunded automatically and any unclaimed courts return to the live grid, so peak capacity keeps earning.
What clubs get
Fair peak allocation that runs itself and protects the utilization of your most valuable hours.
Time-windowed draws
Scope the lottery to exact weekday and time ranges, so only your true peak sits behind a draw.
Fair random allocation
Winners are drawn from every applicant, by default with better odds for members who recently missed out, which gives you fairness you can defend at the desk.
Cascading offers
A lapsed offer passes to the next applicant automatically, and up to five applicants wait in the queue for each slot, so a slow winner never freezes a prime court.
Automatic refunds
Non-winners are refunded without a manual transfer or a spreadsheet reconciliation.
Leftover release
Unclaimed peak courts drop back onto the live grid for instant booking, which keeps utilization high.
No extra desk load
The draw, offers, payments, and refunds run on their own, so your staff handle exceptions instead of the scramble.
Built for clubs with more demand than peak courts
If your best slots set off a first-come scramble and complaints at the desk, the lottery gives you a fair, automatic way to allocate them, with cascading offers, hands-off refunds, and leftover courts that keep earning.
