Help
Hi,
It used to be if you had BBO dollars then after you logged on, the ads on the left hand side of the web client would vanish. Recently it seemed you had to have more than $10 (earlier it seemed to just be more than $1 or $2). So yesterday when I dropped below 10 BBO dollars, I bought more to get rid of the ads! But they are still there. Can someone clarify this situation?
Thanks,
Sue

Hi Redcat,
As soon as you engage in a pay activity the ads will go away. For players who regularly play pay tourneys ads practically never show up, but if it happens that a few days pass without them playing a pay game the ads become visible again. This is more obvious now because we recently changed the length of time ads are hidden.
Depositing money in your account does not impact ad visibility. Spending as little as 25 cents will hide ads. Also, ads go away when you join as a substitute in any tourney.

Thanks so much for the information. I do play in pay tournaments. In general, I find the ads very distracting during play, especially when they change. I don't suppose you'll clue me in on the new length of time? I went a long stretch without seeing ads. I wonder how many folks are noticing and trying to figure it out. Also, I think the ads initially disappeared when I made a $BBO purchase but then returned the next day. I hope one doesn't have to play in a pay tournament every day. Maybe it's just me but if it's not and many of us complain perhaps you can go back to the previous length of time ads are hidden.
Thanks again,
Sue

Ads should never be visible while you play a pay tourney. They may be visible during pick-up games or in free tourneys.

Thanks diana_eva,
Yes, no ads when I am playing in a pay tourney. I just thought that I had paid enough to have them disappear. I am sad I must pay more, or just move it to off the screen. But I like every one at BBO. So just giving my two cents.
Thanks,

Ok then,
One day, I get one day of no adds? I still say change the policy. I will, as others should do, shift if off to the left side which does not interfere with play. But really, you are trying to have us love the web version (I do cause I have a mac, I love my mac). This is not helping. All the upgrades are nice but I still, .. discuss, with my team mates, I can't win them over. Chat room? No chat room. Well, I won't repeat their arguments just let you know they are out there and I support you all, just giving my ..
