| Online Bingo Lingo |
In the world of online bingo, there are many short-cuts
and acronyms that would be extremely confusing to the
average person. Even those who frequent online chat
rooms may have difficulty understanding the multitude of
“Bingo Lingo” sayings and slangs that tend to flow ever
so quickly across the online bingo chat screen
In this article, we’re going to go over all of the most
common, and some less common, Bingo Lingo acronyms and
Etiquette that you can expect to come across when
enjoying a game of online bingo.
Online Bingo Lingo and Etiquette
A central feature of online bingo is the social
community. Many big sites have many different lively
chat rooms available for players to socialise in and
even win money whilst chatting! However, newcomers to
online Bingo may get confused by some of the lingo used
which is integral to the full online bingo experience.
Chat terms used are similar to `text speak` used on
mobile phones, brb means be right back, thnx means
thanks and lol means laugh out loud. There are also some
abbreviations used more specifically in Bingo such as
AFK which means away from keyboard, Roomie which refers
to anyone who is in the chatroom, gg which means good
game and IRL or in real life.
As online bingo is an extremely social activity some
social rules should be observed. Some aspects of Bingo
etiquette are similar to offline rules. For example, it
is important to be respectful towards people, don`t act
in a way you wouldn`t act offline, racist or abusive
language is not tolerated. It is important to be
considerate to others; this includes refraining from
bragging too much if you win some money. Although
online
bingo is a friendly community and many will be excited
to hear your news, going overboard may make you
unpopular. Also be careful when choosing a screen name,
although you can pick a humorous and fun names, do not
pick anything that is rude or distasteful.
It may also be tempting to gossip about other players
when you are chatting. This should be avoided as it is
likely the gossip will get back to them and it will earn
you a bad reputation in the room. You should also not
promote any other sites or make detrimental comments
towards the site you are on. The chat rooms often have
webmasters who can remove you from the chat facility in
some circumstances. Also remember to be extremely wary
of giving out private details to other chat members as
security should be paramount.
