Books are the earned currency of Internet Spades. You can't buy them — you earn them by playing. Spend them in the Store on cosmetics and discounts.
Successfully made contracts earn Books equal to the bid amount. Bid 4, make 4 — earn 4 Books.
Competitive PvP games earn full rewards. Play against real people for maximum Books.
Winning matches earns bonus Books on top of your contract earnings.
Successful Nil bids earn bonus Books. Blind Nil earns even more — high risk, high reward.
Extra tricks beyond your bid are Bags — they do not earn extra Books. Bidding what you can make is always better than overbidding. Smart bidding earns more Books than grabbing every trick.
Competitive games earn full Books rewards. Play against real people for maximum earnings.
Practice rewards are reduced. AI is great for learning — competitive games earn full Books.
This keeps the economy healthy. Books come from skillful play against real people, not from farming bots. Rates are admin-configurable and may be adjusted for balance.
When available, you can optionally watch a short ad to earn a small Books bonus. This is always optional — never required to play or earn. A daily limit applies. Rewarded ads are separate from the between-hands ads you see during matches.
