Isn't this considered cheating?
No. Bonus Badger doesn't actually collect anything for you. It simply saves you time by finding all of your bonuses, and putting them into a single consolidated list so that you can click through them quickly and easily.
Since you're still doing all of the clicking, Bonus Badger isn't considered a bot or a form of automated play. Bonus Badger just gives you a (much) more efficient way to collect the exact same bonuses that you've already been collecting all along.
It seems like Bonus Badger isn't finding all of my bonuses. Why are some missing?
Bonus Badger automatically filters out several types of bonuses to make your life easier, including: bonuses that you're not eligible for, "bonuses" that do not award anything, and bonuses that you've already marked as "liked" (because presumably, you've already collected them).
How do I sort my bonuses?
Any time Bonus Badger is not actively running, you can click any of the column headers to sort your bonuses by the selected criteria. For example, if you want to list your bonuses by most recent first, simply click the "Posted" heading (and click it again to see your oldest bonuses first).
You can even sort on multiple columns by holding the shift key as you click on column headers. If you want to see your most recent bonuses also sorted by game type, simply hold shift while first clicking the "Game" column, and then clicking the "Posted" column.
I'm not interested in seeing bonuses for some games. How do I turn those off?
Simply click the bullet next to the game(s) in the "Enabled Games" list on the left. Any time you run the application in the future, Bonus Badger will ignore any games you've deselected (if you use Bonus Badger on multiple computers, you'll need to do this on each one).
I didn't get credit for a bonus that I clicked. I ran Bonus Badger again, but the bonus isn't there now. How do I get it back so I can try clicking it again?
Click on the "Ignore bonuses you've previously 'Liked'" button to disable it. Run Bonus Badger again, and any recent bonuses that you've already collected should show up. Remember to turn this option back on when you're done!
I don't want Bonus Badger to "like" the bonuses on Facebook when I click them. How do I prevent that from happening?
Just click on the button labled "Automatically 'Like' clicked bonuses" on the left side of the screen to disable this option. Please note that if you turn this option off, Bonus Badger will have no way to effectively track which bonuses you've already seen—which will likely result in you seeing many of the same bonuses the next time you run the application. Consider keeping this enabled, if possible.
How do I prevent Bonus Badger from posting to my Facebook wall about the bonuses that I collected?
Simply click on the "Share to Wall" button on the left side of the screen to disable it. We've set Bonus Badger up so that it won't post to your wall more than once every three days or so, even if you keep this enabled.
It looks like Bonus Badger doesn't support some of the games that I play. When will you add support for more games?
The goal is to add support for major new Facebook games as they're released.
Does Bonus Badger cost anything?
Nope! Bonus Badger is completely free. Even better, we're ad-free! We rely on voluntary user donations to keep us running.

Bonus Badger doesn't work for me—help!
Make sure that you're using the latest version of either Google Chrome (recommended), Mozilla Firefox, or Internet Explorer. Bonus Badger has not been tested with other browsers and may not work properly.
If your browser is up-to-date, ensure that the Unity plugin is installed properly. You can download the plugin by clicking here.
What is the Unity plugin and why do I need it?
Unity is a rapidly becoming one of the most popular technologies for rich, dynamic, high-performance content on the web.
Bonus Badger's functionality is simply not possible to implement without some sort of browser plugin. We utilized a trusted, secure plugin from a well-known provider rather than ask you to download something that we wrote ourselves.
Scanning my friends' newsfeeds takes a long time—how can I speed it up?
The performance of the Bonus Badger application is highly dependent on the speed of your internet connection. With a fast connection, a few hundred friends should take under a minute. With that said, the performance of Facebook varies a good deal from hour to hour—if Bonus Badger seems especially slow, the issue may be on Facebook's end.
What is your privacy policy?
Bonus Badger's privacy policy is pretty simple—we don't retain any information about you. We don't have your personal info, so we won't sell it or share it. We don't have your email address, so we won't spam you.
