The first way we have done this is to send you a system message when
you first log on to BridgeBase. Each time you log on you will
see a message:
| Account balance: BB $?.?? MB $?.?? |
Of course, the question marks will be replaced with your actual balance in both BB$ and MB$ (if any). This gives you a heads-up early if you are running low so you can add to it if necessary rather than trying to join a tournament only to find out you are out of BB$.
Under the heading My BBO, click on BB$ Account. This opens up another screen with more options. You can read About BB$, Purchase BB$, review Account Activity, Transfer BB$, and Send us email if you have any questions or problems on your BB$ account.
Suppose you want to look at your account and see what activity we have listed for you. Click on the Account activity line which will bring up a new window. At this new window you should sign in with your BridgeBase user name and password. Now you can ask us to Show recent activity or Show all activity that has happened with your account.
Your account activity screen shows you first, your current balance, and under that, all the transactions for which you have used your account.
This screen shows the time, what the purchase was (for instance, card fee), how much you were charged for this event, your remaining balance, a description of what the BB$ was used for (for instance, Tourney Entry Fee), and the details of the transaction. This last part of your account activity screen shows you the number of the tournament you played, what kind of tournament it was (for instance, ACBL) and the directors on duty for that tournament.
Finally you will find on this list of transactions, information about deposits you have made, any prizes you have won and any refunds you have been given.
Another way to access all the same information is to click on the BB$ button at the top of your screen on the BridgeBase task bar.
