One thing just about every online bingo room has in common is something called ‘Bingo Chat Games’. These are not only a great way to pass the time, but can be worth a lot of value in the way of ‘Bingo Bucks’.
We all know that playing a straight game of bingo can become somewhat dull over time, staring at the cards/tickets and waiting for one of your numbers to be called.

Daubing the numbers frantically when they come, then waiting some more. Most online bingo players avoid the monotony of the actual bingo games themselves by participating in the online bingo chat.
Bingo chat games are another way to stay entertained, converse with the rest of the players, and win great prizes at the same time. These games are hosted by a ‘Chat Moderator’, often termed the CM. CMs are not just on hand to make sure the chat is friendly, but to award bingo bucks to players by hosting an assortment of exciting bingo chat games.
Types of Bingo Chat Games
There are many types of bingo chat games that you may encounter while playing online bingo. Most of them will fall into one of the following categories – Trivia, Lottery and First to Act/Chat.
Trivia bingo chat games are pretty self explanatory. The CM will ask a series of themed questions, most often 10 of them, and the player(s) to get the most questions right are awarded with Bingo Bucks. Themes may include anything from musical knowledge and celebrities to history and the past hours activity in the bingo room.
Lottery style bingo chat games are all based on the numbers being called. For instance, you may be asked to choose a number between 1 and 15, and the first number within that range to be called wins. If b5 is called first, everyone who chose 5 wins. You may even be asked to select 5 or 6 numbers, and the player(s) whose numbers were all called over the duration of a bingo game wins.
First to Act/Chat games are those that require players to quickly say something in the bingo chat when a particular action occurs. Let’s say the number 50 is chosen, and player’s must say “fifty” in the chat room once it is called. If 50 is called, the first person to type and send “fifty” wins. In some bingo chat games, they award the second person to speak, or the person who spoke immediately before the 50 was called.
What are Bingo Bucks
Every online bingo site has their own name for these, but we’ll use the most common term, Bingo Bucks. Bingo bucks are kind of like winning real cash, except that they can only be used to purchase bingo cards/tickets. They cannot be withdrawn as real cash. However, the winnings derived from purchasing tickets with bingo bucks are yours to keep and do with as you wish.
Considering the relatively cheap ticket prices offered at most online bingo rooms, bingo bucks can go a long way!
Note that not every online bingo site awards bingo bucks. Some may simply hand out free bingo tickets to the next game, while others award points. Points are pretty much the same, since they can be converted to essentially the same thing as bingo bucks.
How to Win Bingo Chat Games
There is generally only one rule to qualify for winning bingo bucks in bingo chat games. You must have purchased tickets, and be participating in the online bingo game that is currently running in order to win any prizes.
