After downloading and installing iplay you will get additional files the first time you log on to play. The automatic updater keeps all your IPlay files up to date for you but it don't download all the games just the ones you play. After the update just enter the username you chose and the password that was sent to you to Sign In. A screen will appear and you will be connected to the new player lobby where there will be someone there to help you learn your way around.

IPlay has many lobbies but the Main Lobby is where most people tend to be. It is a nice family community where you can find people to play games with and/or talk to. There are always sysops and players there willing to help you if you need it but it is really simple to use. If you are looking for competition IPlay will also feel your needs in that area with its numerous tournaments. There is also some lobbies dedicated to clubs such as Games Unlimited which you can join if you are interested in playing tournaments for cash.

All in all whether you are looking for a friendly place where you can play your favorite games with other people or looking for some stiff competition IPlay is the place for you. Take advantage of the 30 day free trial membership to check out all the games, meet new people, and enjoy the family type atmosphere.
