Step 4: Buying RealBridge Credit

RealBridge Credit can be purchased from Thursday August 27, 2025 onwards. RealBridge Credit will be needed for playing in nearly all ACBL-sanctioned games on RealBridge, including the CBF's Maple Leaf games.

How it Works - Summary

In advance, you top up your account with RealBridge Credit. The amount of credit you buy is the same as the amount you pay, in the same currency.

When you join the session and sit at a table, RealBridge checks to see if you have enough in your account, and notifies you if there are insufficient funds.

Once the game starts, the game fee is deducted from your account.
