Free 12-board games for ACBL members under 5 Masterpoints
Free play while you earn your first Masterpoints
If you are an ACBL member with fewer than 5 lifetime Masterpoints, any 12-board game on Shark Bridge is free until you reach 5. You also keep the 5 free SB Credits every account gets, and they never expire.
What you get
Free 12-board games
Play any 12-board game at no cost until you reach 5 Masterpoints.
Your 5 credits stay yours
Every Shark account gets 5 free SB Credits. They never expire, and they cover two 12-board games or one 18-board game.
Badges add more credits
Game-Day badges pay SB Credits for regular play, streaks and strong finishes.
How to start
Open arena.sharkbridge.club and log in. We recommend your ACBL account, so your games connect to your membership from the start.
Link your Shark and ACBL accounts. How to Use the New Shark Login shows each step.
Pick a 12-board game, confirm your bidding system and play. New players start on SAYC.
Keep playing until you reach 5 Masterpoints. ACBL decides when reported points appear on your record, so give them a little time.
When you reach 5 Masterpoints
12-board games are no longer free, and your SB Credits are still there. Five credits cover two 12-board games or one 18-board game. The Game-Day Challenge explains how badges and the leaderboards add more.
Questions from new players
Who counts as under 5 Masterpoints?
An ACBL member with fewer than 5 lifetime Masterpoints. Once you reach 5, 12-board games use SB Credits.
Do I need a code?
No. There is no code to enter. Sign in at arena.sharkbridge.club with your ACBL account linked and play.
Do I lose my 5 free SB Credits?
No. You keep them while you play free 12-board games, and they never expire.
Can I play 18-board games?
Yes. 18-board games use SB Credits, and your 5 free credits cover one.
Do the free games award Masterpoints?
Yes. They are ACBL-sanctioned games, and the Masterpoints you win count toward your 5.
