Playo is one of the world’s largest sports communities, enabling users to book turfs and playgrounds across multiple sports such as football, cricket, badminton, and tennis. While turf bookings scaled well, Playo wanted to add meaningful value by protecting players against real on-ground injury risks—without disrupting the booking experience.

The Challenge

High-intent sports bookings meet real-world injury risk

• Players face fractures, ligament tears, and sports injuries during play
  
• Insurance needed to be contextual to the sport and play duration
  
• Coverage had to feel relevant, affordable, and instant
  
• Add-on protection should not impact booking conversion
• ‍Product needed to scale across multiple sports formats and locations

What Playo Needed

• Contextual protection mapped to sports activity
• Seamless add-on during turf booking
• Coverage limited to actual play duration
• Fast go-live without complex ops
• Scalable across sports, cities, and user segments
