Getting started
SnipeBid help docs
Everything SnipeBid does, how to set it up and what every setting means. Start with the quick start below.
SnipeBid is a Chrome extension for the EA SPORTS FC Ultimate Team Web App. It adds a floating panel with a Buy Now sniper, an auction bidder and an auto-lister, and it adds tools to EA’s own screens: price badges on cards, a pack sorter on Unassigned, an SBC solver and one-click FC Hub rewards. A Gallery tab in the panel completes FUT Gallery sets for a fraction of the price.
Everything runs inside the web app in your own Chrome, using the session you are already logged in with. SnipeBid never asks for your EA password.
Quick start
- Install SnipeBid from the Chrome Web Store: click Add to Chrome, then Add extension. Desktop Chrome on Windows, macOS or Linux.
- Pin it: click the puzzle icon in Chrome’s toolbar and pin SnipeBid. Clicking the SnipeBid icon later jumps to your web app tab and shows or hides the panel (or opens the web app if it isn’t open).
- Open the Ultimate Team Web App and log in as usual. While you are on EA’s login screen only a small round SnipeBid button shows, so it never covers the login form.
- Open Transfers once. SnipeBid picks up your web app session when the web app talks to EA. The status pill under the SnipeBid name changes from open Transfers once to connected · ready.
- Activate your key. Paste the key from your purchase email (it looks like
SB-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX) into the panel and press Activate. The key is linked to the EA account signed in to this web app. No key yet? Start the 3-day free trial and the key arrives by email. - Pick a starting setup (optional). The first time (while you have no targets or filters), SnipeBid asks How do you want to play? and offers four starting setups. Pick one, or press Skip, I’ll set it up myself.
Starting setups
A starting setup tunes the settings that matter for one play style in a single click. It only changes settings: your targets, filters, license and history are kept, and no targets are added. After you pick one, SnipeBid opens the Scout tab with that style so you can choose targets.
| Setup | For | Main settings |
|---|---|---|
| 🛡️ Safe beginner | Slow, careful Buy Now sniping while you learn. | Snipe mode, Safe pace, Human reaction, 250 searches/hour and 1,000/day, snipe at 90%, 2 buys per player, 30 min cooldown. |
| 🔨 Mass bidder (fodder) | Many small late bids on cheap, steady cards. | Bid mode, Normal pace, up to 30 open bids, max 60% of coins in bids, bid window 120 s, bid at 90%, min profit 100, adaptive bidding on, no final push. |
| 🧩 SBC grinder | Packs and SBCs first, cheap bids to top up. | Bid mode, Normal pace, 300 searches/hour, max 50% of coins in bids, pack protection at 1,500 coins, lists new cards worth 5,000+, SBC max spend 10,000, FC Hub auto-collect on. |
| ⭐ Specials sniper | Fast Buy Now on TOTW and promo cards. | Snipe mode, Normal pace, Fast reaction, snipe at 92%, 2 buys per player, price recheck every 3 min, Scout on Specials. |
Open the list again any time with Starting setup → Choose… in Settings → Defaults (stop the bot first). The setup your settings match is marked current. If you already changed settings, SnipeBid tells you how many a setup will change and asks before applying it. Settings a setup doesn’t mention keep your values.
Your first run
- Add a target. On the Targets tab, type a player name (at least 2 letters) and pick the card. It is added with its market price. See Targets.
- Set the snipe %. The Snipe at slider sets how far under the market price SnipeBid buys. The panel suggests starting around 94%.
- Pick a mode above the Start button: Snipe (Buy Now), Bid (auctions) or Both.
- Check Settings → Safety. The default pace is Aggressive and the default Buy Now reaction is Turbo. For lower risk, switch to Safe or Normal and Human or Fast.
- Press Start. Buys show up in the Log tab and, with Auto-list on, are listed on your transfer list right away.
What SnipeBid does
Requirements
- Google Chrome on a desktop or laptop (Windows, macOS or Linux).
- An EA account with access to the Ultimate Team Web App and its transfer market.
- An active SnipeBid license (free trial or subscription). Prices, the sniper, the pack sorter, the SBC solver and FC Hub collecting all need it.
