If you are new to bingo you might not realize this, but by simply logging into the chat facility you will be eligible to win "bingo bucks" sometimes known as a "bingo bonus", which is like cash and can be used to purchase more bingo cards or to play other games.

Bingo sites like to promote their chat rooms because an active chat room makes for a good community and the site becomes a lot more fun to play at. To promote a "community feel" most of the major sites give away lots of bingo bucks (shortened to bb in the chat) to encourage people to login to the chat facility. The difference between bingo bucks and cash is that you cannot cashout bingo bucks. You can use them for betting and you are free

to cashout any winnings that you might accumulate while using your bingo bucks.

How do you win bingo bucks?

There are a number of ways that you can win bb and this also varies between sites. Most sites will randomly give out bingo bucks just for being logged in. Basically, the chat operator will say something like - "Joe Blow are you there" and if you reply to this post, by saying anything really, the chat operator will say "2 bb – congratulations".

In addition to random giveaways, just about all sites have "chat games". Chat games are a lot of fun to play. There are lots of different types of chat games, but the basic principle is that you compete against others in the chat room, either individually or as a team, to win bingo bucks.

Miss Bingo offers lots of great chat games. For a full list of chat games you should go to the site, but I am going to describe my two favorites. The chat game "Table Games" is a fun promotion where each player in a chat room is assigned to a table. If the winning player "Bingos" in chat all players at that table get $2 bonus. Table games is played for two hours each day from 2pm to 4pm (server time) and the team with the most wins during the two hours each get an additional $6 bonus. My second favorite game is "trivia" which is played each Monday night. Each game the chat operator asks a trivia question and the first person to answer gets a $2 bonus. You get 5 seconds to answer the question.

Kiwi Bingo has some great chat games as well. "Add Em Up Bingo" is very profitable. The number you bingo on is given to you as a bonus. If the number is double digit (like B28) you simply add up the two digits 2+8=$10. Once a particular number has come up in a session it is retired.

Conclusion

Apart from the fun that can be had by chatting with others, if you don't login to the chat room you can be missing out on some big bucks. So make sure that you take the time to participate in the chat room.
