Fundraising at the clubhouse just got a whole lot easier.
At Clubforce, we know the hustle it takes to keep a grassroots club going – that’s why we’re excited to announce the launch of Clubforce Tap to Pay, a brand-new way for clubs to collect fundraising lotto payments anytime, anywhere, using just a compatible Android device.
No cash? No problem.
We all know the classic fundraising moments – coins in a bucket, envelopes handed in at the bar. But times have changed. More and more people are going cashless, especially younger members and parents. In fact, 1 in 5 adults in Ireland no longer carry cash, and half of 18–24-year-olds rely entirely on digital payments.
That’s a big challenge – and a huge missed opportunity for club fundraising.
Clubforce Tap to Pay changes the game.
Now, anyone in your club – a coach, volunteer, or committee member – can accept payments in-person using just their phone. No card reader. No extra setup. Just tap, pay, and go.
Whether you’re selling lotto tickets after training or at a club event, Tap to Pay makes it fast and frictionless. Even better, all payments are securely processed and tickets are automatically entered into your next draw.
Clubs are already seeing the impact
Salthill Knocknacarra GAA in Galway was one of the first to try Clubforce Tap to Pay — and they’ve already seen a difference with an increase of 43% more play slips in their first draw after introducing it.
“The introduction of the Clubforce Tap to Pay app has been a real game-changer for us at Salthill Knocknacarra GAA. It’s made fundraising at the club faster, easier, and more secure.
“Traditionally we would have raised a lot through cash collections but with less people carrying cash, this income stream has started to decline. The Clubforce Tap to Pay technology reverses this helping us maintain our in-person sales.
“The fact that we get all the benefits of fundraising in person whilst also having all the benefits of selling online such as auto-renewals and tickets entered straight into the draw is fantastic.”
SKGAA Club Chair, Alan Hassett
