BBO bucks

[catssup]

On my iPad there is no link to pay for bucks. Anyone know how so I can play tournaments?

There are two web links of interest:

 

http://www.bridgebase.com/pay/purchase.php

 

and

 

https://www.bridgebase.com/purchase/pay.php?subacct=mb

 

Note that there is a distinction between BB$ and MB$

 

For tournaments (per OP) the first link is the one.

 

I am only assuming that these work for iPad (I am not part of BBO and have no iPad, so just suggestion.

 

Mods, this should be in support subforum.

I am exclusively on a tablet these days. Chatted with a mod yesterday about missing functionality of:

 

1. Buying $ (at least provide SSO within app even if you can't sell directly).

2. No bidding rooms

3. No chat rooms

 

As far as web vs Win:

 

3. Can't access the Bridgemaster sets I already paid for!

The correct link for purchasing BB$ is

 

https://www.bridgebase.com/purchase/pay.php

 

This gives you a choice of paying with a credit card or via Paypal -- the link 1eyedjack gave is the page you go to if you select Paypal.

 

We don't have purchasing in the mobile app because Apple doesn't allow it without giving them a cut.

Does that prohibition extend to including instructions on alternative payment methods outside of the app?

Apple is not very open about their criteria, I suspect we don't want to chance it. They might view that as us trying to work around their rules (which we effectively are).
