Has any thought been given to creating an enterprise membership?

A company can provide memberships to their employees? (either by email address or by corporate logins, etc.)

Why do think there is any demand for this?

Companies don't normally pay for their employees to have online entertainment.

Hi,
I was actually looking for the info as well... The question is far from being stupid.
This could be part of a "Employee benefit program".
With the Covid-19 and "work-from-home", may of us do miss the social interactions.
BGA do provide that possibility to connect in a funny way.
It could be for employee; or (for exemple) for students with student email, ...

It's a difficult one in terms of working from home provisions - would an employer want to pay for something that could prove to be a distractions? Would the company own the account and so have the right to access usage data? If it's about a social element, wouldn't zoom hangouts etc be more justifiable? There is also a cost element, why wouldn't a company just pay for a few people to act as table hosts, rather than paying for everyone to be premium?

I don't think it's a bad idea, but I wonder if a bulk buy option for memberships would achieve the same end point without crossing in to some of the odd legal territory that would come with trying to set up a designed corporate membership program. 5 or more memberships at xx% off? Would that encourage people to get a premium account where they currently are in a set group of friends where only 1 player needs the membership? Not sure, just thought I'd throw the idea in the mix to see what people felt

That may not have been the case in the past, but with Covid and some companies looking at permanent WFH situations, having social activities for employees to help with engagement and networking are almost non-existent. There are plenty of meeting platforms, but something interactive for multiple people is rare. Having a corporate program could be a financial windfall to boardgamearena and help with further development of the platform.

You can gift a premium membership to someome else:
