Online Bingo Chat

Pretty much all bingo sites have a small chat room next to your bingo cards for you to join in. They're very popular and over half of all online bingo players take part in them. I personally don't take part in them because my focus is always on the game.

What you will soon notice is that people use abbreviations of words and phrases rather than full sentences. Below is an entire list of the different abbreviations. The ones in bold are the ones that are more commonly used in my experience.

Another thing worth pointing out is that taking part in the chat is completely your choice. You're under no obligation to do anything, if you don't want to take part you don't have to, you can simply ignore it.

On the other hand if you do want to take part there's no need to go through a sign process or anything like that. Usually your name in the chat room will be your username for the bingo site.
