How to purchase a Premium Live subscription

We recommend new customers to get Premium Live, as it has two main advantages over the native apps:

• It runs in the browser on any device so you can play from desktop or phone.
• It stays up-to-date automatically. There’s no need to install updates.

The native apps may be a better choice only if you have poor/intermitent internet access.

1. Open SparkChess Premium site and click on the Sign Up button.

2. Select the payment interval (monthly or yearly) and enter your email address, then click Next.

3. The payment methods will be revealed:

You can choose to pay using your card, PayPal, or GPay.

Please note that we do not collect or store any card information. Everything is handled by either Braintree, PayPal, or Google Pay. Your payment information is safe at all times.

If you choose card, just fill in your card number, expiration date, and verification code (usually on the back of the card) and click Sign Up. Depending on your card setup, a 3D Secure popup might appear. Follow the instructions.

If you choose PayPal or GPay, specific popups will appear. For PayPal you might need to Sign In to your account. For GPay, you’ll probaby be asked to select your saved card from the list.

After submitting the payment info, your subscription will be created. On the last step, you’ll be asked to create a password for your new account:

Our system is smart enough to check if you already have an account, so you won’t be asked for a password if you do.

Finally, you’ll be able to log in to your account:

From now on, you can go to https://premium.sparkchess.com, log in with the email you used for creating the subscription and the password and have fun with SparkChess.

You can also manage your subscription from that interface.
