Multy Account Policy (MAP)

Ongame Network allows players to register accounts with multiple Network Operators, but has the policy that an individual may only register and play for any single tournament from one of these accounts.

Any player who plays in a tournament from multiple player accounts will be in violation of this Multi Account Policy (MAP) and suffer the following consequences:

• They will be disqualified from a tournament in-progress if the violation is detected in real-time.
• All money in all their player accounts with Ongame Network operators will be confiscated, and the accounts closed.
• They will be permanently banned from playing on Ongame Network.

When these banned players are caught, their money will be confiscated and their account closed.

At Ongame Network’s discretion, tournament pay-outs (the distribution of tournament prize monies to winners) can be held for up to 14 days if an investigation is required (though we will try to conclude all investigations within 72 hours). Investigations are predicated on automatic processes and manual checks conducted by separate support and security teams both during and after tournaments.

Where an investigation determines there is or has been a violation of the MAP, all accounts suspected of being involved may be frozen for the duration of the investigation. This means that players will not be able to log in or play, and they will not be able to withdraw or transfer funds. We recognize that this will be an inconvenience and we regret that this may affect innocent players.

Where an investigation requires that tournament pay-outs be held pending distribution to winners, Ongame Network will endeavour to communicate this to all players involved shortly after the tournament concludes.

Ongame Network has the policy of not sharing the results of its investigations. However, where appropriate, both the results and actions being taken will be made available to players through Ongame Network Operators’ websites. If prizes need to be redistributed, this information will be provided directly to players.

Ongame Network recognizes that it is critically important to provide safe gaming for all our players, and to ensure that our card room is fair. We go to great lengths to eliminate all unfair advantages and are removing the potential advantage provided by using multiple accounts to register for a tournament

We also want to be clear that cheating of any kind will absolutely not be tolerated.

TOURNAMENT COLLUSION REFUND POLICY

This Tournament Collusion Refund Policy is an attachment to the Fonbet Poker Terms of Service and Ongame Network’s Multi Account Policy. As such it cannot be reviewed as a stand-alone policy nor does it overrule these documents in case of confliction. Please read through the above two documents before proceeding.

This Tournament Collusion Refund Policy covers Fonbet Poker accounts and Fonbet Poker accounts only. Accounts affiliated with other operators within the network will not benefit from it.

This Tournament Collusion Refund Policy details reimbursement rules in cases of confirmed tournament collusion. The punitive measures enforced upon caught colluders - although mentioned - are regulated by the MAP.

This Tournament Collusion Refund Policy has been engineered to provide just treatment in the case of cheating being determined in tournaments. All decisions will be made by Fonbet Poker and cannot be overruled. Detailed information regarding investigations – and the investigations made by the Ongame Network Security Team - will be released at the investigators’ discretion.

The Tournament Collusion Refund Policy deals with three separate types of tournament collusion; checkdowns, chip dumping and co-op play (multi-accounting).

Checkdown

Checking down can occur when two or more players call an all-in player. On Fonbet Poker it is against the rules and ethics of the game of poker to expressively agree upon this conduct. Equally it is against the rules to suggest such an action. However, merely suggesting it does not equate collusion. Players found guilty of verbally agreeing to not play each other in a hand with the explicit intent of maximizing the chance of eliminating a third player will receive a warning. Repeat offenders risk having their prize money confiscated.

Chip Dumping

Tournament chip dumping is defined as a situation where one player purposely loses chips to another player with the sole intent of increasing their combined chances of winning prize money. Chip Dumping will incur a permanent ban of all involved accounts and the forfeit of the total value of prize money.

Co-op Play (multi-accounting)

Co-op play is defined as situations where one or more players enter a total of two or more accounts into a tournament (scheduled or Sit & Go) and are sharing, or attempting to share, information about hands or players between them. Sharing information includes playing the accounts from the same computer, using online messaging services or any other form of off- or online communication. All Co-op play accounts will be permanently banned and risk, based on the MAP, having their prize money and their entire bankroll confiscated. In all cases of multi-account collusion a full investigation of related accounts will also be initiated. The individuals behind all caught accounts are not welcome to play on Fonbet Poker under any circumstances.
