It's easy to understand and great fun to play Bingo online! The main advantages of playing at online Bingo halls as opposed to traditional Bingo halls are:-

You don't need to get dressed up to play bingo

Fantastic chat rooms - you'll probably chat far more when you play bingo online!

More bonuses available, therefore less expensive to play bingo

When you play bingo online most Bingo Halls also offer slots, video poker and scratch cards

Play Bingo with Auto-Daub Feature, which means you can get on and chat and not miss the BINGO

The object of Internet Bingo is exactly the same as traditional Bingo - to match all the nubers that are called in a specific pattern. The Bingo pattern to match will always be shown somewhere on your computer screen.

All the Bingo sites we list offer the 'Auto-Daub' feature. This is great as it means you can chat away or play other games while the auto-daub maks your card for you as the numbers come up, it will also call BINGO for you when you win.

Chat Monitors, referred to as CM's, are always on hand in the chat rooms, so remember to ask any questions before you start playing. They're always helpful and friendly and, if you're feeling shy to start with, you can choose to ask them questions in private.

In case you haven't ventured into a chat room before, we have listed below some basic chat room etiquette. This has kindly been supplied by Ruby Bingo.

Respect the CM and her authority at all times

Please do not write in capital letters in the chat room unless requested to do so by the CM

CMs are required to use CAPITAL letters as it helps players to see instructions

Choose your user name wisely. Please keep your name appropriate and in good taste

No racial, ethnic or sexual slurs will be allowed in chat.

No impersonating of any other player is permitted

No harassment, arguing or disrespectful attitudes towards other players or any CM will be tolerated

Please do not endorse, solicit or promote any other sites in private or open chat

Please do not use language that can be considered rude or offensive to any other player

Comments regarding multiple wins, amount of cards played or that are not positive in manner will be considered rude and offensive

Help keep the friendliest chat online friendly!

Abbreviations of common sentences are used a lot in Chat Rooms. A few bingohalls have kindly supplied these explanations as to what it all means.
