The chat application
found on bingo websites brings a different
dimension to gaming. This is where all the
players of a game can meet and chat during games
of bingo. Whereas in land-based bingo where
talking is strictly forbidden during a game, it
is actively encouraged in online bingo.
It is customary for
players to congratulate winning players with
comments like "WTG," or "Way To Go." Much like
instant messaging, online bingo chat communities
have their own acronyms which are often used in
replace of often repeated sentences.
CM stands for "chat
monitor". The CM works for the bingo site as the
host of a chat room and plays a role in
welcoming players and creating a friendly and
communal atmosphere in the room. This includes,
but is not limited to, congratulating players
when they win a game as well as playing chat
games in-between bingo. Most sites have a chat
protocol known as chat etiquette or
chatiquette.
Popular chat games
include Odds and Evens, Dodgeball, Roulette, At
the Races, Birthday Bingo, Lucky Gem and
Bullseye. On a busy site you can expect to win
roughly four to eight times the amount it costs
to buy a bingo ticket if you win one of these
games.
