The ''chombo'' is a penalty to the player, who performs specific illegal procedures. Other illegal procedures may be forgivable if done accidentally, like accidentally drawing a tile from a different part of the wall. However, things like cheating or winning without a yaku are more serious offenses. In the event of a ''chombo'', the player must play out a penalty of points to the amount of a ''[[Scoring|mangan]]''.

In the event of a ''chombo'', the player must play out a penalty of points to the amount of a ''[[Scoring|mangan]]''.
The following offenses are subject to ''chombo'':
*'''Caught cheating'''. Among these include stealing from the discard pile, or tile trading from the hand to the wall. Such tricks can be performed by the ''sleight of hand''.<ref>Saki manga, volume 3, hand 22. Saki anime, episode 11. In a flashback, [[Hajime Kunihiro]] was penalized after it was discovered that she used sleight of hand. She did it save her team from being eliminated, but it did not help, as her team was also disqualified.</ref>
*'''Invalid win'''. Players cannot declare a win with an incomplete hand or incorrect waiting tile.
*'''Illegal riichi'''. Riichi must be declared with a ''tenpai'' hand. Therefore, riichi declared with a ''noten'' hand is penalized.
*'''Unrevealed riichi'''. This involves a player declaring ''riichi'' and refuses to reveal the hand at the end.
*'''Winning on 0-yaku'''. A hand must have 1-yaku minimum to win. Therefore, declaring a win on a 0-yaku hand is penalized.
*'''Winning while ''furiten'''''. A player in ''furiten'' cannot win off a discard, or by ''ron''. A win by draw, or ''tsumo'', is still proper.
*'''Illegal closed kan'''. During ''riichi'', a player may call a closed ''kan''. However, this is invalid when the player's ''wait'' changes.
*'''Wall destruction'''. A player cannot crash and destroy the wall, such that the tile arrangement cannot be recovered.
