Linking a card solves several key tasks:

  • Instant session payment — no need to enter card details each time you book a PC
  • Auto time extension — the session is automatically extended when time runs out
  • Fast bar orders — pay for food and drinks in just a couple of taps
  • Security — card data is stored in encrypted form

In short: a linked card eliminates routine payment data entry and makes using the club as convenient as possible.

  1. From the list, select the club where you will use the card

Why this matters: The card is linked to a specific club to ensure payment security. This prevents unauthorised charges elsewhere.

Step 3. Enter card details​

  1. In the opened window select the “By card number” method
  2. Enter your bank card number
  3. Check that the entered data is correct
  4. Confirm the entry

Why this matters: Accurate data entry guarantees successful linking and prevents errors during future payments.

Step 4. Confirm the card via a small charge​

  1. A small amount (1 ruble or an equivalent amount) will be debited from the card for verification
  2. The funds will be returned to your account immediately
  3. The card will be successfully linked

Why this matters: This is a standard banking procedure to verify that the card is valid and can be used for operations.

What you can do after linking the card​

  • Book PCs in the club — payment is made automatically in one tap
  • Pay for food and drinks — without re-entering payment details
  • Enable auto extension — the session will not be interrupted at a critical moment
  • Save time — all payments are processed instantly

Common situations​

ProblemWhat to do and why
The 1-ruble verification charge failedWhat to do: Check the card balance, correctness of the entered number and whether the bank supports online payments. Why: The bank may block small test charges as suspicious operations.
The card cannot be linkedWhat to do: Make sure the card supports online payments and is not blocked by the bank. Try another card. Why: Some cards (for example, debit cards without online-payment support) cannot be linked.
The verification charge was not refundedWhat to do: Usually the refund is instant, but it can take up to 24 hours. If more time has passed, contact your bank. Why: Delays are possible due to the specifics of banking systems.
I can’t select a clubWhat to do: Refresh the club list and make sure a city is selected. Why: The app may not have loaded the current club list because of internet connection issues.
