I am a New Player

New players are afforded a trial subscription so they can experience most of the benefits of a subscriber. Your trial subscription lasts for three days after which your account will lapse into the appropriate non-subscriber category should you choose not to subscribe.

Do I Have to Subscribe?

Of course not; you can continue to play for as long as you wish however you will have the privileges associated with a non-subscriber. When you are ready to jump in the deep end with the rest of the sharks, you can simply become a subscriber.

How Do Subscriptions Work?

Players purchase a subscription that most meets their playing needs and skill level. A subscription will last for 30 days from the date of purchase after which the player may choose to renew or let their subscription lapse into a non-subscriber category. There are four player categories at the site as follows with the first three holding non-subscriber status:

Trial - a newly registered account. The trial subscription lasts for three days after which it will lapse and the player will be converted to a "Fish" if the player chooses not to subscribe.
Cod - a legacy player. Players in this category have had previous affiliations with the site.
Fish - a player who has chosen not to subscribe or has chosen to let their subscription lapse.
Shark Subscribers - a player who has chosen to subscribe to the site through one of the three levels of active subscriptions.
