Why Reset Your Spades Plus Account?
Before diving into the steps, it’s important to consider why you might want to reset your account. Some common reasons players look to reset their accounts include:
- Starting Fresh: You want a clean slate to enjoy the game without your previous scores, ranking, or stats influencing your experience.
- Fixing Errors: You may have encountered technical issues or bugs in your current account and think starting over will fix these problems.
- Improving Strategy: Some players want to reset after learning the game, so they can use their newly acquired skills to improve their stats and ranking from the beginning.
- Changing Account Info: You may want to link a new Facebook or Game Center account to your Spades Plus profile. After changing account info, you might want to change your profile picture, too. Read my blog post and find out how to do that.
Now that you know why you might want to reset your account, let’s discuss your options and how to approach the process.
Can You Reset Your Spades Plus Account?
Unfortunately, Spades Plus doesn’t offer a traditional “reset” button or feature that allows you to clear all your progress and start fresh on the same account. However, there are a few workarounds to achieve a similar result.
1. Create a New Account
The easiest way to “reset” your Spades Plus experience is by creating a new account. Here’s how you can do that:
- Unlink Your Current Account (Facebook/Game Center):
- If your Spades Plus account is linked to your Facebook or Game Center account, you’ll need to unlink it first. This prevents your old account data from syncing when you log in again.
- To do this, log out of Facebook or Game Center on your mobile device by going into the app settings and unlinking your Spades Plus account.
- Uninstall and Reinstall Spades Plus:
- Uninstalling and reinstalling the app will clear its local data. After reinstalling the app, open Spades Plus, and it will ask you to create or log into an account. Don’t log into your old account—create a new account or play as a guest.
- Create a New Facebook/Game Center Account:
- To fully reset your experience, create a new Facebook or Game Center account. This will allow you to start with a clean slate without carrying over your old game data. Once you have a new account, log into Spades Plus and link it to your new profile.
This method essentially resets your account by creating a new one, giving you the opportunity to start over from scratch.
2. Contact Spades Plus Support
If you don’t want to go through the hassle of creating a new account, you can try reaching out to Spades Plus’ support team. While they don’t offer a built-in reset feature, they might be able to help with specific issues you’re facing or assist with account-related requests.
- Submit a Request:
- Go to the Spades Plus app and find the Help & Support section, usually located in the settings or menu.
- Explain your situation in detail, including why you want to reset your account or start fresh. While they may not reset your account entirely, they might be able to resolve certain issues or offer alternatives.
Keep in mind that contacting support may not always result in a reset, but it’s worth trying if you’re dealing with issues that can’t be fixed through the methods mentioned above.
3. Play as a Guest
If you want to reset your account temporarily without making a new permanent account, you can play as a guest:
- Log Out of Your Account:
- Simply log out of your Facebook or Game Center account and choose to play as a guest. This will let you play without any of your previous progress affecting the gameplay.
- Guest Limitations:
- Keep in mind that guest accounts are limited and won’t save your progress or rewards. If you uninstall the app or switch devices, your guest data will be lost. However, this is a good temporary solution if you’re looking to try different strategies or just want a fresh start for a short period.
Things to Consider Before Resetting
Before you decide to reset your Spades Plus account or create a new one, consider the following:
- Loss of Progress: Resetting or starting a new account will mean losing all your progress, including your win-loss record, ranking, coins, and any purchases you’ve made.
- Linked Accounts: If your current account is linked to Facebook or Game Center, you’ll need to create new profiles on those platforms to avoid re-syncing your old account.
- In-App Purchases: Any in-app purchases made on your old account won’t carry over to your new account. Make sure to use up any purchased items before resetting.
- Friends and Teams: If you’re part of a Spades Plus team or have friends you regularly play with, resetting your account means losing those connections. You’ll have to add friends and join teams again from scratch.
