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.bridgebas...ay/purchase.php

and

https://www.bridgeba....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.bridgeba...urchase/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).
