Traditional Bingo Halls had quite a few rules of etiquette, such
as total silence when the balls were called, so you could hear them,
and hear anyone shouting Bingo. On-line Bingo etiquette mainly applies
to chatrooms.
Chat rooms in Bingo
It’s a fact of nature, women like to chat, and women like to play
Bingo. So it is no surprise that chat rooms are very popular in
online Bingo. But there are rules, even here, and the chatroom
usually has a supervisor making sure you do behave, and don’t
offend.
As with any chatroom, the player’s name may not be their real
one, and their views maybe deliberately contentious, or even blatant
lies. Chat rooms are so popular, there are even Chat Room Games
you can play there. The supervisor will make sure that you are
not harassing people verbally, that you are not impersonating
another player, that you are not endorsing a product and generally
that you are behaving in a decent way.
If you have a complaint about the chat room, or host, there will
be an email route available to you. If you are not very good at
typing, some sites have a selection of pretyped abbreviations
you can use, like “GL” (good luck!). A chat room is a lot easier
place to be than a face-to-face Bingo Hall. You don’t have to
worry about where you sit, whether your pen will work, or if people
will hear you when you shout “BINGO!”.
By all
means cry over no wins, but do not gloat over winnings.
Make sure you congratulate other players on their wins. if they
only need a couple of numbers, why not wish them good luck?
