How many times do you have to tap to tap out?
To perform a tap-out, you tap your co-player's arm or another convenient part of their body twice, and repeat this action as many times and as hard as you need to get their attention. (Typically, once and quite softly is enough).
What happens if I tap in twice?
You can't pay accidentally—your contactless card or payment-enabled mobile/wearable device must be within 2 inches of the terminal for the transaction to take place. And you won't be billed twice, even if you accidentally tap twice.
