Online bingo newcomers have a lot of getting used to as it is so different to land-based bingo and there are a lot of unanswered questions out there regarding online bingo and things that come with it that players may be afraid to ask. So, what are chat games?

Chat games are fun games usually run by the bingo site’s chat hosts. Upon entering a bingo room, at some point during the hour, the chat host will announce they are playing a chat game or “cg”.

These are mostly played with a prize for the winner – either withdrawable cash, bingo bucks (unwithdrawable money there to help you buy bingo cards) or on some occasions actual prizes.

Some chat games are played along with the bingo game. For example a CM will ask you to look out for the number 88 and when the number is called, everyone must type “Two Fat Ladies”. The CM will then choose the winner (ie: third person to say it) and the winner will then be rewarded with their prize.

Other chat games have nothing to do with the bingo game, as the chat host might decide on asking a set of trivia questions or anagrams for the prize.

Personally, I think the fun chat games are the games where a member is randomly selected or selected by the last bingo ball (ie: if the last bingo ball is 3, the chat host will count 3 up or down the players list to find the winner) – and this contestant will then be asked to choose a box or a number which holds a mystery prize.
