A game of Bingo is simple, exciting and fun, but much of its appeal comes from its social nature —with players meeting at halls to catch up with friends and meet new people. Today, Bingo fans flock to online sites to play the classic game, since it’s the most convenient way to play and provides you with a host of gaming possibilities. In fact, online Bingo also caters for those social butterflies among you, wanting to play the much-loved game in the company of other players, socialising whilst completing your Bingo grid. Online sites have made this possible by providing virtual chat rooms, where you’ll be able to meet new people and talk among yourselves whilst engaging in a classic game of Bingo.
If you’re new to the online Bingo scene, then there are a few things that you might want to know before you hit the Bingo chat room. Join us as we guide you through the ins and outs of this social space, to prepare you for the good times ahead.
Read on to find out more.
Get to know the rules
Let’s get the serious chat out of the way first. In order to maintain the pleasant, welcoming nature of the chat room, there are some rules that you need to abide by. They might seem obvious, but when you’re sat behind a screen, it can be easy to forget that real people are receiving the messages that you’re sending. You should treat other players with respect, which means that swearing, messages of a sexual nature and offensive language is all prohibited.
You might make some great friends when using the chatroom, but it’s vital that you never share personal information — like bank details or your home address — with anyone that you chat to. In addition, you should never ask other players for their personal details.
If you don’t follow the rules then you could be blocked or completely banned from the chatroom, or entire casino site. There’s a moderator keeping an eye on your behaviour in the room, so make sure that you’re conducting yourself in a respectful, friendly manner.
Chatroom moderators
As previously mentioned, the moderator is there to make sure that you’re abiding by the casino’s code of conduct, but they’re also there to help. If you’re in a game and have a burning question with regards to the rules, or a particular feature of the game, the moderator is on hand to try and provide you with an answer.
Chatroom slang
Chats often take place alongside a Bingo game, so players will want to reduce the time that they spend typing to focus on the game at hand. To do so, many will often use slang. Some of the most common terms that you could see are:
- 1TG/2TG — This simply means ‘one to go’ or ‘two to go’ and is used to inform other players when you’re nearing a full house.
- BLNT — Better luck next time
- FH — Full house (we all want to announce this one)
- GL — Good luck
- WDW — Well done winner
If you’re in the mood to socialise and play a spot of Bingo, but don’t fancy getting glammed up to go to your local Bingo Hall — online Bingo is the answer. You could be curled up on your sofa, wearing your cosiest pyjamas, chatting away with friends and playing your favourite game. What more could you want?
