BBO membership is 100% free. You need to sign up as a member ( previous screen ) before you can play bridge or chat with other members.
Bridgebase is made up of hundreds of thousands of bridge players like yourself from all over the world. We offer various forms of free bridge including all kinds of Duplicate and Total Point games, both casual or competitive. We also offer a full suite of bridge education and training tools for free.
We are one of 3,000 sanctioned ACBL (American Contract Bridge League) bridge clubs. We offer ACBL games that issue ACBL Masterpoints to the 160,000 members of the ACBL. These games are not free. The most popular ACBL game is the Speedball, which is exactly like the game at your local ACBL club, and is supervised by a friendly ACBL-certified TD.
Most of the world's premier bridge tournaments are broadcast live through our site. We call this facility "Vugraph" and it is extremely popular. Leading experts augment the educational and entertainment value of these broadcasts by providing commentary and analysis. You may have never thought of bridge as a spectator sport, but our live vugraph broadcasts will convince you otherwise! As with most of BBO, access to vugraph is 100% free.
If you are a bridge player (or if you are thinking about becoming a bridge player), BBO has a lot to offer you. Please have a look around.
