- Once approved for the rebate program, Playeasy will enable the rebate setting for the Event Organization to earn a $9 rebate per room night.
- To receive payments, the Event Organizer needs to connect to Playeasy’s Stripe account.
- If the Event Organizer has a Stripe account, they can use their own account to instantly connect.
