Credit use

1. The credit system

VBM offers a credit system: an internal unit of the platform with no monetary value, non refundable and not convertible into real money. Credits are used only to unlock certain actions on VBM, described below.

1.1. How to earn credits

Credits are granted automatically for the following actions:

• Verifying your email address (automatic when signing up with Google).
• Verifying your phone number.
• Completing your profile (personal information).
• Linking your account to an existing player, staff or referee profile, once the request is approved.
• Completing your player, staff or referee profile (once linked to an account).
• Any change (addition, edit, deletion) approved in the back office.
• Creating an amateur meetup (time slot).
• Finishing a match while keeping the live score (Live Score, official matches).
• Winning an amateur tournament match (the whole winning team).
• Having a team approved by the organiser of an amateur tournament (the whole team).
• Receiving a credit transfer from another user.
• Getting an administrator's approval following a request for additional credits.

1.2. How to spend credits

Credits are used only for the following actions:

• Downloading a gallery photo in original quality.
• Creating an amateur tournament.
• Recording the score of an amateur tournament match.
• Turning on SMS notifications for your amateur tournament (organisers).

An action that costs more than your available balance is refused — a negative balance is not possible.

1.3. Credit transfers between users

From your profile, you can transfer some of your credits to another user by entering their CodeUser. This transfer is immediate and irreversible: check the recipient's code before confirming, as VBM cannot cancel a transfer sent to the wrong account.

1.4. Requesting more credits

If your balance is insufficient, you can send a request from your profile. An administrator reviews it and freely decides on the amount granted, or may refuse it.

1.5. Changes to the system

The actions concerned, the amounts granted and the costs listed above may change at any time to adapt to how the platform works, without notice or compensation for credits already earned or spent.

2. Misuse

Any attempt to manipulate the credit system (multiple accounts, arranged exchanges to get around costs, etc.) may lead to the cancellation of the credits concerned and, depending on its seriousness, suspension of the account.

This page may change along with the platform; the last updated date at the top of the page shows the version in force.
