  I saw on the WGT News page that you can earn credits by winning Blitz matches.  Can someone please explain to me why I'm not?
  
  How can you earn credits through playing matches?
  
  Thanks!

  hi

  yes, you can via blitz challenges. up to 4 people with winner taking all. if your state allows, it should be seen ion your options when you creating  a game.

  So unless the game's host specifies a prize, then it won't be a credit-awarded match?  The best way to ensure that a Blitz awards credits is to start one myself?

  Thanks!

  Hi PascalFleischman, 

  When you select Blitz (either creating or searching for a game), to the right of where it says "GAME MODE", click either the right or left arrows to chance the game mode from Tracked to Challenge. Now click either "CREATE GAME" or "JOIN A GAME." Viola. 

  If you created a game, you will be prompted to enter the credit wager before you can open the lobby for other player to join. If you searched for a game, you will be presented with the wager and be given the choice to either accept or decline it. 

  Keep in mind that this game mode is brand new, and there's still quite a few problems with it, so don't expect everything to function 100% at all times.

  Thanks, LD!

   

  That explains it perfectly.  Someone mentioned "legal in my state".  Since I don't have the challenge option available to me, is it a glitch, or illegal in TN?

   

  Thanks!

  DOH!

   

  Thanks for clarifying.  You know what you've done to me now, right?  My work's computer servers are based in Houston.....so now I have to play at work.  My boss won't be happy.  :D
