If you're playing with children who do not have an email address, you can follow the steps below to create an account and submit a gift on their behalf.
Gmail offers a unique feature where you can take an email address, append "+something" to it, and you will still receive the email.
-
- If you use Gmail as an email provider, you can use your existing email address to create user accounts
- If you do not use Gmail, you can setup a free personal gmail account (e.g. <yourname>whiteelephant@gmail.com) and use this to create all the users
- When you create a user for Johnny, the email could be <yourname>whiteelephant+johnny@gmail.com, for Susie <yourname>whiteelephant+susie@gmail.com, etc
- You will receive all of the email confirmations and get access to all these user accounts.
Once you've created the account(s), you can log in as each user, join the games and submit gifts on their behalf. Full instructions on submitting gifts can be found here.
Alternatively, you can leverage our "Dummy Players" feature, however keep in mind this is only available on our Standard Package games.
