In online bingo, there is a chat feature that enables you to chat with other players while playing bingo. A chat room is basically a virtual room that provides players with a screen where they can read and exchange messages with other players that are online. Usually, chat room hosts (also called "chat monitors" or "CM") will initiate a chat game for extra fun while playing bingo.
A chat room can enhance an online bingo player's fun in many ways. The chat room is where players meet and get to know each other. Unlike in land-based bingo halls, where talking is strictly forbidden during a bingo game, chat is usually encouraged in online bingo. In online bingo chat rooms, you can make friends, chat with hosts, and it's a great way to socialize while playing bingo.
Any player with cards in a current game is eligible to win a chat game. At Bingo.com, we offer dozens of different chat games at all hours of the day and night. If you just can't wait to play a chat game, you can ask one of our friendly bingo hosts to start one. They will always do their best to accommodate you!
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.
