After I login and click on a game, I only get a spinning circle (or empty black screen or white screen)?
Try closing your browser and log back in. If this fails to help, push ‘ctrl’ and ‘F5’ together on your browser to force the browser to refresh (or close the app fully on TV or iPad). If this does not work, the issue may be related to a web browser media player plugin issue, follow these steps to resolve:
First step, uninstall Adobe Flash Plugin.
On a PC, do this through your CONTROL PANEL > ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS.
On a Mac, drag Adobe Flash Player from applications to your Trash; or use Finder to locate Adobe Flash Player install manager, and uninstall
Once you have removed Adobe Flash, ***restart your computer***
Finally, reinstall Flash directly from Adobe's website:http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
How many devices can I use my log-in on?
You can use your log in on as many devices as you wish, but you can only log in to two devices simultaneously. This means you can watch one game on your iPad and one on your laptop. If you are logged in to more than two devices you will see an on-screen warning and you will be logged out of your account.
Can I buy a pass to start in the future?
At the moment this facility is unavailable. As soon as the transaction is made, your pass is active and will last for the duration of the pass type (24 hours, 7 days or 12 months).
