NTN Players Plus FAQ

Checking your points

Due to technical difficulties, you are no longer able to request your NTN Players Plus points directly from this page. You can now only login to your Player's Plus information from the NTN site here.

PIN Code to Site Number Translation:

When you call the 1-888-PLAY-NTN for technical support, the support tech will ask you for your site number. If you don't know your site number then you can derive it from your PIN's three letter site extension:

PIN Letters:

Transferring Your Account:

  1. Start a new Players Plus account at the location where you want to transfer your points.

    to

    ####BBB - HANDLE @ NICK's Pub, Somewhere else, USA

    Thank you

    John Doe

  3. That's it - wait about a week, and your points will be transferred.

Changing Names:

You may change you Player's Plus handle by simply emailing pplus@ntn.com requesting that your account handle be changed.

Another way to play under different names all the time is to use a foreign account. Go to another NTN establishment and set up a new Player's Plus account. Then play using that pin code. You'll be able to change your name every game if you want, and still accumulate points, although you wont be able to see your totals.

Playing away from your home base:

If you see players with a yellow plus next to their handle, that player is a foreign Players Plus account holder.

What you need to do is memorize the location code of where your account is. When you sign on with your four-digit pin the playmaker will inform you what the three-letter location code is. When you go to another location, you will need to sign on with the full seven digit/letter pin combination. Then the playmaker will ask for your handle. You may enter any name you like at this point. It does not matter what name you choose, because that location has no idea who you are, except that it will upload any Player's Plus points you make to the NTN central computer using your pin code. If you happen to make the national top twenty list, it will show your actual Player's Plus handle, because the central computer does know who you are. So if you're trying to be incognito, using a fake name, everyone will see your real handle when it shows up on the top twenty board.

(LILJOL/CARTMN adds) one very useful side benefit in playing as a
visitor and putting up a different name locally is that one can find out if
the site's scores are being transmitted to NTN.  If the real handle shows up
on the Network board, good; if the local handle shows up, not good.
