<\/a>Manual with step by step instructions<\/h2>\n
1. Create an account in GameBus<\/a><\/h3>\n
\n\nFor the sake of simplicity, it is strongly encouraged\u00a0to sign up with one of your social media accounts (Google or Facebook). We will then read your identity information to\u00a0initialise your GameBus account automatically. You can then move to Step 2<\/a>. Note that we\u00a0will never post Google or Facebook messages on your behalf, unless you instruct us explicitly to do so.<\/p>\n
In the following,\u00a0we explain the more tedious process of creating a GameBus account from scratch. Select the option\u00a0
CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT<\/code>\u00a0then continue with\u00a0SIGN UP<\/code>. When creating a new account you have to fill in your fist name, last name, email address and create a password. You will receive a confirmation email in which you have to press the activiation link to activate your account.<\/p>\n![](\"http:\/\/kowedes.nl\/sitebuilder\/documents\/2\/screenflows\/home-screen.png\")
