Playing bingo online for the first time?

You will soon find out that half the fun in online bingo is in the chatroom, where you can type to your fellow players when the game is underway.

Regular players are in the habit of abbreviating common expressions that come up time and time again..
A lot of these expression will be familiar if you are used to other internet chatrooms or texting on a cell phone, although some are exclusive to bingo games.

If you aren't aware of the jargon or 'bingo lingo' then the chatroom can be a pretty confusing place at first!

Below are a list of the common bingo acronyms if you get lost..


New players should first be aware of the CH (Chat Host) or CM (Chat Monitor) who types in a different color to all the other players
Also new players should remember that only the chathost types in CAPITALS.
Other players should try not to type in capitals as it is generally considered impolite or 'shouting'
Also be aware of the general bingo chatroom etiquette - And help to make the chatroom a friendly fun place to relax with the friends you will make.
