BBO
How to play bridge on BBO from home (with Easts members)
You will need a computer or tablet and an internet (wifi) connection.
You can also play bridge on a large mobile phone but it is awkward.
You are in your browser (Chrome, Safari) to read this.
When you click on the link below, you will be taken to the BBO site.
Click red top left button to Log in or Register.
To create an account, click on Register.
If you have an account just log in with your User Name & Pwd.
If you don’t have an account, click “Become a member” button; choose a Name and Pwd and you become a member of the BBO community.
Now you can Play or Watch
I recommend, if you are new to BBO, choose Casual, rather Competitive.
“Help me find a game” OR “Find your own game”
Suggest you go to Relaxed Bridge Club, players are nicer, there are no experts to criticise or bully you.
You can find a table with 2 or 3 players and click to sit, or, Under “Kibitzers” you can only watch.
You can “Start a table” (bottom left button). Choose your privacy options, you can reserve seats for your friends, or you can play against robots (right click to choose).
Once you become more comfortable with BBO you can go into the “Main Bridge Club” and again you can join an existing table or you can open one.
You can navigate through the club by going back – attention using the “Back” button (it’s the blue one next to “Home”)
If you like to add people to your Friends list, or chat to players or how to use robots/GIBs, you can Google “bbo tutorials”.
Good luck and see you on BBO; my name is “shevek” and I’ll try to be in the club around noon each day
