Common Questions
How do I create a league?
Open the app and navigate to the My Leagues section, then tap Create League. Give your league a name, set your rules (bags, Nil, score limits), and invite your players. League games are tracked automatically — standings, match history, and player stats update in real time.
How do I track scores for a live in-person game?
Head to Spades HQ and tap Keep Score to launch the Scorekeeper. Enter player names, choose your rules, and the app handles all the math. No scratch paper, no confusion — and your game state is saved automatically if you need to pause and pick back up later.
Where can I see my league stats?
Your overall league stats are visible in the Profile section of the app. For stats specific to a single league, go to My Leagues, open the league, navigate to the Members section, and tap your name to view your league profile page.
What’s the difference between CREW, Ranked, and Leagues?
CREW is a private lobby for casual games with friends — no stakes, custom rules, just Spades. Ranked matches you with random players and tracks your ELO rating on the global leaderboard. Leagues are organized seasons you run with your own group, complete with standings and match history.
What does Premium Access include?
Premium Access removes ads while you play and unlocks premium emojis and expanded in-game chat phrases. Spectating games may still show ads for all users, including subscribers. The core game — including all online modes, leagues, and the scorekeeper — is free to play. Premium is available at $1.99/month or $14.99/year.
