How does the Big Fish Game Club work?
Big Fish Game Club is a monthly subscription that offers discounts and other great benefits.
Each time you're billed, you get a 699 Big Fish Points. These points can be used to get games:
- 699 Points is equal to a standard version game.
- 1398 points is equal to a Collector's Edition.
- You can also use points towards a discount on a game.
You also get all the other great membership benefits, such as a 30% or more discount on all games.
For a full list of benefits, please see the following help article: Big Fish Game Club
