Here's how it works
Up to 10 films per month: you have 10 play credits every month.
3 days to watch each film: Once you press play on a film, you have 3 days to view it as many times as you like without using another play credit.
Play credits reset on the 1st of the month: Once you have reached your quota of films, you will not be able to play any films until the new month starts when you will be given a fresh quota of 10 play credits again. You can track your available viewing credits from your account dashboard.
Any device: You can access the Bathurst Library film streaming service from any device with an internet connection, including Smart TVs. Where available, go to your device app store to download the free app. For further information on compatible apps, click here
