I got the invitation but did not have time to read about it. May I still have free access ?
Do you still pay per game besides the 4.95
If you mean tournaments, yes. The subscription focuses mostly on social play and the Prime Bridge Club.
Kim you already have the badge and free access. Log on the latest web version if you’re not seeing the badge, you might be using an older version of BBO.
Not now but maybe later. I
Am a nice person. Life Master and like my father all I want is one more bridge hand.
Merci
I thought I just did.
I’d love to try it, but since I wasn’t popular enough to make the cut, I’ll let others do it for me! I’ve been playing for a long time, have many friends, but guess it’s not enough.
Do the BBO Prime members still see the ads on the iPhone and iPad software?
Its a dollar grab, with free memberships for favourites so there are some players on already, otherwise noone would be there. I suspect it will be no different except that you now pay to play. The same conditions apply with pretenders as to level and rude players who just float in and out, sometimes making it take up to half an hour to settle into a game. So will BBO guarantee that it will not slowly make the free options so low that they wont really exist any more and all would be forced to pay a monthly sub. i suspect not asthe reduction in free tournaments ahs been apparent for a while in the lead up to this.!
how do I become a member?
I am trying Prime, signed up. But when I go to a casual game I’m the only one there. I like the idea, but please don’t charge me yet. I hope that I am on the trial version. Lost track of my $$. Please don’t charge me for Prime yet.
How can I subscribe for Prime Membership?
I have to agree with KMT54. There are some players who disrupt the whole game and leave others waiting for a final partner because of their rudeness
I do hope you will root out those people. There is a particular person who when they have no points bids 7nt then leaves
We plan to be more active in fighting rudeness and disruptions, yes. There is a new Report Abuse button in each player’s profile that you can use to report such behaviour.
I host team matches almost every night and most times stars also play in those matches. When I am not hosting myself I play in other friends’ matches at least 2 matches each night on average. If I am not considered active and friendly, please change your computer’s think habits:-)
