Viewing Host Games

On the hosts' Game Statistics page, games are listed as open (accepting purchases and sets from players), closed (in play, no more players can purchase for the game) or completed (game is finished and winners have been paid). A host will have a maximum of 5 games active (open or closed) at any one time.

Ways to Send to a Game

When a player wishes to purchase for a game, they visit the credits page and elect to send funds to a host in one of three ways.
1| The first option is to select an online host from the drop down menu.

Once a host has been selected, the player then chooses a game from the list of available games.

2| The second purchase option is to visit the credits page and click the "View All Hosts" button. This will bring up a list of all hosts, including any who are offline.

Once a host has been selected, you will be shown the hosts' Game Statistcs page and can select from any of the open games available by clicking the "details" beside the game.

Finally, click the "Send For This Game" button to finalize your purchase for the game.

3| The final purchase option is to go the "Send Funds" page and click on the "View Open Games" button. This will bring up a list of all open games from any hosts.

Once listed, the player can either click the "Send Funds" button to choose the game they wish to send for or click the "Details" link beside any of the open games to send directly to that game.

How to Send to a Game

When the host creates a game, they have a few options that can change how a player purchases for a game.

When a game requires players have to have sets, the host can have the players input their own numbers for every purchase or set the game to auto generate which will automatically choose a random set on the players behalf.

For games that offer Buy One Get One Free, players will be able to provide two sets for every purchase they make.

If a host has created a game with a "Mixed" purchase price (i.e donation games), players will have the ability to input their own purchase price when they buy in for the game.
