Many people surprisingly don’t know about bingo chat specials.  What are they are why should you play them?

Well many online bingo games have their own version of chat specials.  These are normally played in conjuntion with 75 ball bingo games, the reason being because of the of the grid layout.  Anyone can join in the chat specials at Starlight bingo.  They are played  at the same time as the regular bingo games play.  You simply click on the ‘chat’ icon to open up the chat display window, and you will see the live chat that is currently taking place.  Now this is not just for the purpose of players and chat masters to chat amongst themselves.  The chat masters work very hard to keep extra games going 24/7.

These extra bingo games are in the form of players submitting guessed numbers, or answering a question, or being the fastest to submit an answer, or by chance of the number you bingo on.  There are many variations for chat games.  The main reason to host chat games is not just to keep our bingo online players with continouis fun and entertainment, but also to enable them to win extra bonus points, often referred to as bb’s, or bonus bucks.

Starlight Bingo works hard to try to enhance the bingo chat games and to make them as exciting as possible, as well as to give the most bb’s to players as is possible.  There are some games where not only can you win bb’s, but your neighbours can too!  Neighbours are defined as the next person above and below you in the chat names list.

So for an instance of a chat game, one that you can play at Starlight Bingo everyday over Christmas, is Christmas Carolling.  In this fun bingo chat game, whilst you are playing the standard bingo game, you must have the chat console open, and watch for what the Chat Master (known as CM) is typing.  The CM will type part of a well known Christmas Carol, or poem.  The first person to correctly provide the next word of the verse or phrase will win 4bb’s.  Now that it great because those bb’s can now be used to buy more bingo cards, hence more chances for you to win.  And whist all this is happening, don’t forget that you can also win the bingo pot, as well as the progressive bingo jackpot, which could go at any time.  The great thing with the progressive bingo jackpot, is that once it has been won, it doesn’t get set back to a zero amount, it always starts again at $1,000. 

The times of the games and the amounts that can be won, are commonly shown in USA format, however, this should not put players off if they are in Europe or UK, as we cater for all players, wherever they may be.  When you open your new Starlight bingo account, you can choose your currency to play in.  So if you were to choose GBP £ (British pounds) all your deposits will be in that currency, and you will see all the bingo pot amounts, and the progressive jackpot amounts converted to you chosen currency, so you don’t have to worry about getting mixed up with a currency that isn’t the same as that of the country you reside in.  All your winnings will also be paid to you in that chosen currency.  Also, the times of the games are as standard in EST time, this is Eastern Standard Time (USA) so for UK conversion, simply add +5 hours onto that time.  For example, if a game starts at 12 noon EST, it would convert to +5 hours in the UK, which would be 5pm BST.
