Dear Players,

We've just released a significant update to BBO, featuring exciting visual updates and important improvements designed to enhance your overall experience. We've also just released an update to GIB which will offer significant improvements when playing with robots.

This update is already live on our web platform, with the mobile apps following in just a few days—be sure to check your app store for the latest version.

Here’s what’s new:

• Special Events Menu
  You'll see a new section on the BBO homepage to help you easily find games during special events like the BBOers Festival, NABC Robot Individual, Women’s Online Festival etc. You’ll also see a schedule of upcoming events so you can plan ahead. No more scrolling to hunt down your favorite games.
• New Login Page
  Some players will notice a refreshed look on the BBO login screen. Currently, the new design is available to 50% of players and will roll out to everyone soon. If you see the new look, let us know what you think. The update makes the interface cleaner and easier to use, and will be available for everyone soon.

• Auto-Play Last Trick
  The last trick will now play automatically during a hand, making the end of each deal faster and smoother.
• Updated Sound Service on Mobile Apps
  We’ve upgraded the underlying technology used for sound on mobile devices for improved performance.
• Minor BBO+ Upgrades
  BBO+ now includes support for translated pages, making it accessible to more players worldwide. Additional small improvements have been made to enhance the overall BBO+ experience.
• Improved Claim Functionality
  Claim functionality has been updated to align with the latest GIB upgrade.
• Other bug fixes and improvements.
  As always, we’ve also fixed a few bugs and polished up some details behind the scenes.

More improvements will be coming soon to enhance your experience, especially when playing with robots.

We hope you enjoy these updates, and we’re looking forward to your feedback. Let us know how the new features are working for you, and stay tuned for more exciting changes ahead. Happy bridging!
