then

GameballSDK.registerPlayer({
      "playerUniqueId": playerId,
      "playerTypeId": playerTypeId,
      "deviceToken": playerDeviceToken,
      "referrerCode":referrerCode,
      "playerAttributes": {
        "displayName": "Alex",
        "email": "example@example.com",
        "gender": "m",
        "mobileNumber": "01099999999",
        "dateOfBirth": "2019-08-18T10:11:34.478Z",
        "joinDate": "2019-08-18T10:11:34.478Z" 
       }
}).then(res => res.json()).then(jsonResponse => {...}) // on success

Once the APIKey and playerUniqueId have been registered, Gameball views can be made visible to the user.

Choose an Unchangeable Player Unique ID

Gameball customer gets created using theplayerUniqueId. It is highly recommended to have the unique ID as an identifier that would NEVER be changed. If this unique ID changes for a given customer, you risk losing all original data for that customer, hence losing their points and rewards on Gameball. Accordingly, it is NOT recommended to use email address or mobile number as the unique ID as both can be changed by the customer at anytime.
