Chat & Chat Monitors

Chat is the feature that online bingo is notorious for. Some feel that it was started to appeal to the predominately female player-base. This may be true, but the feature has expanded well beyond just attracting gamblers to online bingo and has become a component in deciding what makes a great online bingo site.

Chat rooms bring a different feel to online bingo that isn't present in traditional bingo halls. Most bingo halls are silent in order to hear the bingo calls and the eventual winner yell, "bingo". On the other hand, in online bingo, chatting is encouraged. It helps build a community feeling that would otherwise not be possible.

Chat Monitors (CM's), are hired personnel who are in charge of keeping a welcoming and friendly environment in the chat room. They also run chat games that most sites reward in loyalty points or bingo bucks (BB's). It is common for a site not to allow you to cash out the BB's won but you can use them to wager in other tournaments and cash out those winnings.
