Expenses & Reimbursements
Claims to be made via GACO Expenses claim form online on at least a monthly basis. If you do not submit a claim form for matches where one is required, we will defer payment until a form has been received. It’s really easy online, and can be done from a smartphone, tablet, PC or Mac. Claims should be submitted, even if you intend to waive payment, as this allows us to cross-check matches.
Current Summary
- 2026-05-06 Initial payment for the Indoor leagues has been made this evening. There are further claims, but these have outstanding queries.
