Online Bingo Chat Terms

Internet Chat RoomMost bingo websites nowadays have a dedicated live chat stream located in each bingo room. It’s a great way to keep the social aspect that is associated with bingo even though you are not actually in a bingo hall. However, when a player is watching the performance of their tickets it can be very difficult to participate in the chat room because it takes so long to type what you want to say.

Most bingo providers know that participation is key to forming a community and therefore have developed a list of chat terms. Each one only takes a user a couple of seconds to type but can convey a whole sentence’s worth of conversation. Some bingo providers have taken this one step further by adding emotions and animations to the slang terms, which is a lot of fun.

We have been trawling the chat rooms of bingo sites around the web to make sure that nothing is left out of our bingo chat glossary which you can find below. Some sites may have their own unique terms but the following should be understood everywhere,

1TG, 2TG 1/2 to go. Number of balls needed for a line/full house
