Bingo Chat and Lingo

By Johnny Smithwick


Online bingo is one of the most popular pastimes for people of diverse ages, and there are a lot of bingo sites that cater to this high demand. One of the best things about playing the game online is the fact that you can communicate with people from different parts of the globe, an experience you are doubtful to get in a regular bingo hall. The chat option can be found on many sites and is inclusive of both free and no deposit bingo websites.

The chat feature has, in fact, given way to a new social circle among online fanatics of the game. Chatting on online bingo sites is so popular that many players look forward to interacting with new players more than actually playing the bingo game. The reason for this popularity is, as discussed above, the facility to interact with a person residing in another corner of the globe. As opposed to normal bingo games, where there are limits to chatting during the game, online bingo halls are a welcome change, which allows for chatting between fellow players.

This, however, does not mean that chat features are not monitored. In each bingo room, there will be a chat moderator to monitor the interaction between the players in the game. Every site, be it no deposit bingo or free bingo, will provide a set of rules in terms of etiquette in the chat box, which players are expected to comply with strictly. Players violating these rules will be punished. Apart from this aspect the chat feature is a extremely exciting aspect of playing bingo. A lot of sites also hold tournaments in the chat box, which gives exciting prizes to winners.

With the popularity of chat features and formation of social circles on internet bingo sites, a new set of bingo jargon has come about, which is called "bingo lingo". The lingo used in these chat rooms is actually a set of abbreviations used by players while chatting. Some of them are popular outside the players' circle, but always. Abbreviations like ASAP (As Soon As Possible) and AFAIK (As Far As I Know) are frequently used when sending texts through mobile phones.

A few of the more minor abbreviations used in chat rooms at online bingo halls include ?4U (Question For You), BLNT (Better Luck Next Time), CM (Chat Moderator), GG (Good Going) and GL (Good Luck). Though the terminology may seem a bit confusing for a novice, it'll become simpler with time. By engaging in chats more often between games, players should find it easier to decipher these expressions.

Ask any player of web based bingo games regarding the aspects that attract him the most about playing the game online and in most cases the chat feature would be spoken about. Although the terminology may sound rather like technical jargon, it is a lot of fun when you get into it and it definitely enhances your overall bingo experience.
