  3. Your original site will ask you to approve - click confirm or approve, depending on the site
  4. You should now be logged into your new gittip account!

Enter Credit Card

  3. Enter your info and press save

Give to Sudoroom

  1. Visit Sudoroom's profile
  2. Enter an amount of money, press Enter or click Confirm
    • Remember these amounts are WEEKLY, not monthly!

    • Your card will be charged every Thursday. The money goes directly into Sudoroom's bank account.
