Managing entry fees

Outcome

After this guide, moderators will know how to configure a registration fee for a bingo and keep player payment status up to date.

Before you start

• You need moderator access to the bingo.
• Decide whether the event uses a prize pool.
• Decide what registration fee amount players are expected to pay.

Step 1: enable the fee during bingo setup

1. Open the bingo in edit mode or create a new bingo.
2. Turn on Prize Pool Enabled if the event uses paid entry.
3. Enter the Registration Fee amount.
4. Save the bingo.

Step 2: track who has paid

1. Open the bingo workspace and go to All Teams or the player management area.
2. Find the player you want to update.
3. Open that player’s action menu.
4. Choose Mark paid when their fee is confirmed.

5. If needed later, use Mark unpaid to reverse the status.

Best practices

• Decide on a single source of truth for payment confirmation, such as a Discord channel or spreadsheet.
• Update payment status as soon as possible so teams are not built around outdated assumptions.
• If your event depends on payment before participating, finish marking players as paid/unpaid before the event starts.

Common gotchas

• Enabling a registration fee does not automatically mark anyone as paid.
• Payment status is tracked per player, so moderators still need to review each participant individually.
• Removing a player later also removes them from the active roster, so verify whether a payment issue should be handled as unpaid status or a full removal.
