Hi Stanley,
As you progress through the tier levels (Hack, Amateur, Pro, Master)
you will receive a small bonus that you can put towards new clubs or
premium tournament entries. That is how you earned the $1.50 of earnings you have now.
You can also earn credits by participating in the free weekly and
monthly
tournaments that we offer. Check out the TOURNAMENTS
page, scroll to the bottom and you'll see a list of the tourneys that
are free to enter. Some tournaments are one-time play, some are
unlimited play, so
be sure to read the Tournament Rules and Details links before you tee
off. Since you're a new player I might recommend a few practice rounds
to get a feel for the game before you jump into any tournaments.
Lastly, you are welcome to check out our 3rd party offers section here. (This is
also
available through the BUY CREDITS link at the top of every WGT page.) Please keep in mind that most folks usually aren't going to use the forums to let us know they successfully completed an offer. Most people will only post if there is a problem, so while you do see the occasional hiccup now and then you won't hear about all the success stories since there's no complaint.
Have fun & welcome to the site! =)
