We take pride in our ladder as it is an outlet in meeting other people from all over the world.
Keeping the harmony is important to us because our competition is our pogo league friends,
a chat room where we can hang up our coat and have fun! It is very important that you read and
abide to our policies before becoming a League member.


  • Bingo Bonanza welcomes non-sharers/non league members alike in our Fortune Bingo chat room. Please treat them with equal respect. Most players new to our room who do not share usally don't understand what it means. Our Bonanza Ladder members share in and out of the tournaments in fortune bingo.

    How to share fortune bingos

    Been asked if you share or are a sharer? ...read on ->

    Sharing is when you win bingo 1st or 2nd and wait for others.

    Typing in the chat area the letter 'B' and allowing the third(3rd) bingo winner to
    gong first' is a perfect Share.

    As a member of the Bonanza Ladder if you take on the responsibility of gonging 1st there must be at least 3 winners in total. This means you have witnessed 2 other B's in chat
    
    
    Bingo Share Tournament Rules

  • If you gonged early but 'lucked out' with 3 winners in the winners box you will not be penilized.
  • Missed scores and/or a non-share game is worth zero points.

    We understand the expression of 'My finger slipped' but if this happens to often,

    
    
    (1) it will be questioned, (2) you will be warned (3) then removed from the league if
    it's done attentionally or/and to frequently.
    -If your opponent gongs without a share then this is causing you to lose out on a
    possible spin or bingo. We ask all members to share fairly by typing your B in
    chat and wait to gong with the 3rd winner.

    If your a Bingo bonanza Ladder/League Member and continues to not
    share in and outside the tournament s*ystem, you will be removed from the
    Bonanza N Friends ladder/league. Most rooms do not share bingos please use
    other bingo rooms for non-share play.

    
    

    Is chat bothersome?
    ...HOW TO MUTE TROUBLESOME CHAT...

    Muting someones account on pogo
    makes them Litterally Disappear.

    What we might see is others making comments and thats why we ask E1 to mute or ignore.
    Ignoring or muting any bothersome chat shows respect to others who drop in to say hello.

    Simply click on the trouble makers pogo name in the who's here list and select mute player.

    Tourney Time
    We would like to enforce and reiterate to all members that the tourneys must start on time, with a max of 5 mins overrun. We may lose the odd person who gets annoyed at missing a tourney but they will soon be on time the next time. This will help stop the problem of members getting annoyed who have signed up on time and have had to wait for late arrivals.
  • Our Hosts have the option of removing any registered player who is not in gameroom and ready to start apon closing Check-in.
  • Leaving During A Tourney In Progress
    For any reason you have to leave after your tourney has started you are automatically giving up the chance to win the tournament. Therefore if a player needs to leave during a tourney in progress we find it more fair to award the opponent who is still actively participating - regardless of the round outcome.
  • Once the tourney starts and a player announces they need to leave then their opp recieves the game win regardless of match outcome.
  • If a player leaves and said nothing then we will treat the situation as a boot and keep the player in an extra round in hopes of their return.
    Theme & Location on tourney pages
    Most of our tournaments are played in Fortune Bingo, 3 cards (speedy tab) -Tournament Room 018. Anytime a tournament is played in a different room our hosts will add game title & location on their tourney pages to help those that are registering know where to meet up. If your not sure of the room, add the host's name on the tourney page to your pogo find a friend list, most hosts are in the game 6-10 minutes before their tourney starts.
    Round Tie (Tournaments)
    Sometimes in a tourney your score will tie with your opponents, if this happens to you the host will take an other host or player into PC (private chat) and ask them to pick a # between 1 - 15. The opponent closes to that number wins the round
    Monthly Challenges (Light Competition/Optional)

  • Ladder Priority Rule;
    If you have multiple people challenging you at once you should play the person with the highest rank. The priority rule for accepting challenges only applies when you have multiple challenges at the same time. If you are challenged by someone you should not go to chat and actively seek someone higher in rank to challenge you, rather you need to accept the first challenger. It is illegal to refuse matches based on Ladder rank. You may request a specific rank or range when advertising for a challenge, but you may not refuse a valid challenge simply because the challenger is not the rank you are wanting to play.
    Prospective TDs
    We have found through experience that it is not wise to hire brand new members as hosts but rather allow those members to get to know our members as well as letting others get to know that member. To this end, we request new members play a minimun of 65 tourneys with bonanza and be familar with league and tourney rules before applying for host. Be part of the future! Click on the smiley below to join our Hosting Family!
    Cases boots inactive TDs
    by no means do any of us want to see our hosts go, this is just an important note to know that after 60 days cases boots our inactive hosts. You can request to be active exampted from your duties up to 2 years if you want to freeze your hosting account with plans of returning. Hosts who are on vacation from hosting for longer then 59 days but still active on the ladder has the option to request to be active exampted or allow the account to expire automatically on the 60th day of inactivity. This is solely the choice of the host. We want to make your transition from player to host as smoothly as possible for you and with no presure if you deside hosting isn't for you.

If you are experiencing bothersome chat simply mute or ignore. Our ladders focus is enjoying a clean and fun time on pogo with others and is not responsible for other peoples actions on pogo.

    Abuse of TD's in relation to them doing their jobs in chat or the forums is forbidden. If you are found to be guilty of this your account will be penalized. TDs Tournament Directors are volunteers dedicating their time to help improve the quality of the Ladder for all. Tournament Directors do not have the power to kick, mute, or ban other players they are a staff presently available in chat to help you come to a fair resolution when problems or disputes arise. If they cannot help you with the problem themselves they will get someone who can or refer you to the proper place to go to report the situation. They are there to assist you, so take advantage of them and be appreciative.

    Abuse: If you encounter another Ladder user behaving in an unacceptable manner in chat the best thing to do is just ignore them.

Be sure to include all pertinent information, such as the offender's username, and a brief explanation of the problem that you encountered.

    There are many players available to challenge. It is illegal to continually harass one specific player for a match. If you need a match with a specific person and are having a problem getting a hold of them, let us know via the SUPPORT link rather then harassing that individual. We will help you resolve the matter before it turns into a conflicting issue. We encourage you to try to solve problems on your own before bringing it to the staff, but not to the point of creating hardship to yourself or harassing other users. We have one of the best support staffs available on the Internet. If you have a problem we are here to help you.

    It is illegal to abuse or harass another Ladder member. If you are observed being abusive in chat it could result in a penalty. Depending upon the extent of the abuse you might not always receive a first warning. It is important to remember that two wrongs do not make a right.
