Chat games are side games played by the Chat Monitor while the Bingo game is on. A Chat Monitor normally tells the player what is playing and what the chat game rules are. This information is usually pasted inside the particular chat room, and sometimes, depending on the chat game being played, they request certain information from you. Chat games are usually played for money, with each game having a different payout. The payout varies from $1 to $5 depending on the game being played. Players are required to meet certain specified criteria in order to be eligible to play these chat games on any Bingo site. Each Bingo site has its own criteria set, but there are certain common criteria asked for by most Bingo sites. These are:
• a cash deposit should be made into their account within the last 10 days
• players need to play a minimum number of cards in each game. Usually at least $1 worth
• players should not have any cash withdrawal that is pending
To avoid problems in the future, it is recommended that players read the qualification rules in the Bingo site where they wish to play in chat games. Those who abuse or violate the rules of chat games are liable to have their accounts disabled or deactivated. The reason for this is that, when it comes to chat games, the Bingo sites have to lose their own money, but as it is an attractive incentive to draw more potential players to their sites, it is an investment they need to make. More players will play chat games and consequently other games and this helps the site earn profit.
