Why Didn't I Receive Any SPS for My Ranked Battle?

The most common reasons why a player would not receive SPS from a ranked battle are:

1. The player has not purchased a spellbook. 
2. The player has purchased a spellbook but did not reach Bronze League yet.
3. The player has purchased a spellbook but is using starter cards (also known as ghost cards).
4. 

Your starter cards are identified with the letter S in the top right.

You'll also find this message when selecting starter cards to battle.

The update released on 24 May 2022 changed how reward shares from a battle are calculated for ranked rewards. The new rewards formula now considers the number of starter cards a player uses.  The same formula is used for both Focus Points and SPS.
