Platform
Every workflow your school already has.
One system of record.
Most schools cobble together Google Calendar, a private Telegram, a homemade Excel for payouts, and Stripe links sent over Viber. GambitOS replaces that with one cohesive product.
The calendar that runs the school
Drag-and-drop slots, auto-attached Zoom/Meet links, hard timezone awareness, and one-click rescheduling that re-notifies parents.
Stripe + LiqPay, held in escrow
Money is captured at booking but released to the coach only after the student approves the lesson. Disputes drop to near zero.
Live Rapid / Blitz / Bullet sync
Pull rating histories, recent games and analyzed mistakes straight into the student card. Coaches stop screen-sharing tabs.
A school per workspace
Each school is isolated — its own coaches, students, billing, branding. White-label the client surface in 60 seconds.
AI weekly summaries, in plain English
Parents get a short narrative every Friday: what was studied, how their child played, what's next. Tunable per school.
One ledger, end-to-end
Hold balance, payouts, platform commission, Stripe fees, refunds — all reconciled. Export to Xero, QuickBooks.
The Hold Mechanic
Money sits in escrow until the lesson actually happens.
Funds are captured when a parent books. They release to the coach only after both parties confirm the lesson took place. No-show? Auto-refund. Dispute? You decide.
- 1
Parent books a slot. Card is charged, money enters hold balance.
- 2
Lesson happens. Coach marks it complete in the calendar.
- 3
Parent gets a 24h window to approve or flag.
- 4
GambitOS settles: coach payout, platform commission, processor fee.

“We ran a 100-student academy out of Google Sheets for four years. The first week on GambitOS we caught $800 in payments we'd literally forgotten to collect. The product paid for itself before our trial ended.”
