Bingo chat masters, or cm s, are the masters of the great game
of bingo when played online. Also called chat monitors, the cm s
are employees of the web site where the bingo game is being
played and are there to expedite the games, keep order and make
sure that all players are having a good time, as well as
sticking to the rules of the game. In an online bingo game a
chat applet can be downloaded and installed on your computer
allowing you to use a chat feature and communicate with other
players. This is very different from traditional bingo games
because in a normal or not online bingo game talking to other
players is prohibited during the game. They desire silence.
However, in the online world chat with other players is
considered to be one of the positive elements of play and a way
for players to get to know each other, contribute to each others
fun, make friends and enjoy camaraderie. The chat function of
the online bingo game, controlled by the chat master, is a
retention tool used by the bingo web sites because so many
people enjoy it, especially female players.

The chat master and chat during the game in general lends
congeniality to an online bingo game. When the chat master
welcomes players he makes them feel at home. He also
congratulates players when they win a game and offers
consolations to the losers. Another job of the chat master is to
enforce the protocol of the chat feature which is chat
etiquette, also known as chatiquette. These are basic rules of
good behavior that the CM enforces, and that all members of the
bingo group agree to follow to make the games go smoother and to
be more enjoyable for everyone.

Standard chatiquette enforced by the chat master in an online
bingo chatroom is pretty standard. Do not use capital letters
because it is considered as shouting and are not polite.
Generally only the chat master is allowed to use capital
letters. The chat master will announce games and promotions in
all caps. Also remember to be nice and friendly at all times to
other players. Especially be nice to the new players, also
called newbies. Welcome the newbies and offer them the benefit
of your experience. Be sure to congratulate the wining players
as well. Next time the winner could be you. In that same regard,
do not complain if you loose. You could be the next winner.
Additionally avoid gossip especially about other players. Act
like a grown up, and avoid getting into arguments and conflicts
with other players as this will get you thrown out. Always be
respectful of other players and follow the instructions of the
chat master. The chat masters are not there for their own egos
or power trips, but are instead facilitators who make the game
more enjoyable for everyone involved by enforcing a few simple
rules. Of course, they also sponsor contests and competitions,
and with some luck you could wind up being a big winner, so pay
attention to the chat master and enjoy the game.
