To set up your BB$ account you have two places available for you to click. At the top menu or task bar, you can click on the BB$ button. You can also, on the left, under My BBO, click on the BB$ Account link. By clicking on either one of these button, you will be shown another screen where you can Purchase BB$, show your BB$ account activity, or send us email.
When you click on Purchase BB$ you will be shown a screen where you can log in on the left with your BridgeBase name and password, and then click Continue. You can also log in on the right to pay with your Paypal account. Just bear in mind that when you pay by credit card (by signing in on the left) your BB$ account is updated instantly. When you pay with your Paypal account by echeck, there is a normal delay of from 3 to 5 days for the echeck to clear.
So suppose you are paying with a credit card, you have signed in on the left with your BridgeBase name and password, you have clicked the Continue button and you are now on the second page. Fill out this page, being sure to fill in all the blanks including your state or province, and your email address. The amount you wish to purchase is at the top right where you can select the amount from a drop down menu. Once you finish filling out this second page, your account is all ready to be used. If you have a BB$ account, your balance will be shown to you by a system message each time you log on. This is an easy way to keep up with your balance so you won't be caught short on time when you want to join a tournament and find that you're out of BB$. We let you by know by this private message what BB$ balance remains, as a courtesy.
