Time bank is 'extra' time on a game after your move frequency.

If you are playing a 3 day game (as an example) with 7 days of time bank you have 7 extra days to burn.

Any time you don't move in the 3 days, you start to eat your time bank.

When that time bank is depleted, you must make all remaining moves within the 3 days, or risk being timed out.

Time bank options are
0 days
3 days
7 days
14 days
21 days
28 days

Time bank is never renewed, it is used up if you are not making moves within the agreed time.

you can't renew your timebank? does that mean you can only use 1 timebank a match?

Yes, once you have used up all the 7 days or whatever the timebank time is, you have to play without timebank. You don't have to use it up all in one move though.

When making a new game there should be an option where you pick a minimum rating.

Advanced options just over the Start New Game Button

Phlabibit forgot to mention that you need to click the "update" button when you're done. He's a very busy man.

I hear he has many leather-bound books, and his office smells of
rich mahogany.

I heard it smelled of something powerful, but it wasn't mahogany. More like the smell you get if you are driving by a large farm, and the wind is blowing in the right direction.
