Dear Player,

As 2024 comes to a close, we want to take a moment to thank you for making BBO more than just a bridge platform. It’s your passion and participation that bring this vibrant, global community to life.

This year, we’ve been inspired by the stories you’ve shared in our Best Bridge Memories series. From rediscovering bridge after decades, to hilarious bidding mishaps, to overcoming challenges as new players, your tales celebrate the power of bridge to connect people and create lasting memories. You can explore these wonderful stories here.

Your feedback has been invaluable in guiding our efforts to improve BBO. In 2024, we rolled out 30 major updates, including the introduction of BBO+, which lets you play social bridge with friends via video and customize robots at your table. Thousands of you have already joined, and we’re excited to see more discovering its features every day.

We’re also proud of the strides made with BBO’s Ben, our cutting-edge AI developed using real BBO deals. In less than a year, Ben has progressed to rival, and even surpass—the advanced GIB Robot. We’re eager to see where Ben will go in 2025!

Behind the scenes, we’ve worked hard to modernize databases, enhance security, and improve platform stability, all with the goal of optimizing your online bridge experience.

As we look ahead to 2025, we’d love to hear from you. What made this year special for you on BBO? A memorable game, a funny bidding moment, or simply the joy of connecting with friends? Share your comments below to inspire others in our community.

Wishing you a joyful holiday season and a wonderful new year,

The BBO Team
