In recent years, many of our members have participated in online games through the South East Carolina Bridge Club. For every member who joined one of SE Carolina's online bridge games, our club earned approximately $2.00 (US) per game per player through entry fee sharing. This initiative has proven to be a successful fundraiser, helping us raise thousands of dollars. The Board Members sincerely appreciate our member's support for this fundraiser over the past few years.  Due to increased costs of the BBO Platform as well as other ongoing expenses (such as legal, licensing, accounting, taxes, etc.), SE Carolina is no longer able to continue entry fee sharing on BBO.

SE Carolina now hosts games on RealBridge under the new name "SE North America" (please note the branding change). Because RealBridge's operating costs are significantly lower than BBO's, SE Carolina can offer a $2.00 entry fee sharing (approximately) with a $6.00 game entry fee (US dollars). Multiple games are available daily, stratified according to Master Points. Only players who meet the masterpoint requirement listed in the game title may join that particular game.

RealBridge enhances online bridge by incorporating video and audio features; you will be able to see and talk with your partner and opponents, just as in face-to-face bridge. To participate, you must create a Player Account on RealBridge, which only takes four simple steps.  SE Carolina Bridge Club tracks all our members playing online (through ACBL numbers) and mails us a check each month. If you're interested, visit the SE North America Bridge Club website. If you have any questions, contact Birte by phone at 705-313-9742 or email her at birteayer@gmail.com.

The Board extend our sincere appreciation to Birte for her work in coordinating and leading this successful fundraiser.
