BBO Updates – What’s New?

Release 6.43 – August 27, 2025

We know you care about the details — and so do we. With each update, our goal is to make BBO more enjoyable and easier to use. Here’s what’s new in this release.

Highlights

4-Board Instants: bite-sized bridge

Sometimes 8 boards feels like too much. Now you can play just 4.

  • BBO Instant 4 Boards – Matchpoints (MP)
  • BBO Instant 4 Boards – IMPs

Find them under Solitaire → Instant Tournaments and in the Featured Area. Quick, no-nonsense bridge when you want it.

Daily Instant Tournament

Why wait a whole week? The popular Weekly Free Instant now has a Daily version. Same format, just more often.

Zoom fix for the new tournament list

If you’re using the new tournament list and you like things nice and big on your screen, it should now behave better at high zoom levels. A quiet improvement — only some of you will notice, but those who do should find it more comfortable.

A clearer name for “Premium Deals”

The Start a Table – Premium deals button is now called Play Duplicate Tournament Deals. Same feature, just a better name.

Behind the Scenes

A few smaller bug fixes and polish to keep things running smoothly.

  1. Misclicks are a HUGE problem. There is a need to introduce a procedure whereby a misclick can be announced and corrected. I use the Confirm option which helps. However BBO, in its wisdom, sometimes undoes Confirm which is most disconcerting. Fix that please! Why not introduce the concept of a penalty card when a misclick is announced by one of the defenders, and allow declarer to announce a misclick. To do that would remove a lot of stress for us elder folk and increase the appeal of BBO enormously. Btw misclicks occur when playing and when bidding. A fix would be MUCH APPRECIATED.

  2. I's hope the next update stabilizes connections. With X, BBO is the only site that ever disconnects and it's frequent.

  3. Accessing a tournament takes much more time than the old grid layout. Please give an option to use the old quivker formay

    1. It's on the Instant Tournaments menu. If you're using browser to play, you might need to refresh the page to have the latest update of BBO. If you're using mobile app, please make sure your app is up to date.

      1. There is still no Daily Free Instant Tournament listed under Instant Tournaments. There is a $.10 one but not free.

      1. Thank you. Pity that the author of the article forgot to mention that they are not free opposite to Weekly Instant.
