[edit] Format

On My GamesFever, the contestants were home viewers. American residents 18 or older may enter the contest by text messaging a request or using the network's website. Potential contestants may enter up to twenty-five times per phone number on each show.

After a few moments, a contestant is notified whether or not their entry is chosen (at random) to proceed to another random selection process. If an entry is selected in the second phase, the contestant will be called on his or her home or mobile phone, depending on the method of entry. The contestant will then come on-air and be given a chance to play if the game lasts long enough.

Contestant selection was based on call volume, as reflected by an on-screen thermometer. When the thermometer reached a certain level, or after a certain amount of time, a caller is selected to play the game. A $.99 fee is charged for each text message entry, in addition to standard text messaging rates charged by the wireless provider. Entries on the website are free. Regardless of the method of entry, each entry has an equal chance of being selected. Residents of certain states may be ineligible to play various entry methods.
