Community is the heart and soul of a successful online bingo game. Online bingo without chat rooms is unthinkable as chat rooms are an integral part of an online bingo community. According to a survey, about 70% of all online bingo players take part in the chat rooms.
In all good bingo sites, the bingo rooms are moderated by CMs or Chat Masters whose job is to oversee the general conversation on the room, assist roomies with their questions and play chat games and give away prizes. The CMs in our live chat rooms at Online Bingo Friends are there to help you with your questions and problems at other bingo sites and chat rooms.
Chatting in bingo rooms is done by typing which resulted in a new type of communication. Chat room lingo or bingo lingo has developed in order to keep up with the fast flow of conversation in a busy room while the bingo game is running. These chat abbreviations help bingo players to take part in the conversation without having to type full words and sentences. This saves time, creates a sense of community with its own unique rules and allows to play bingo at the same time.
