Etiquette and Bingo
Bingo is a game that people play for relaxation and entertainment. Since there is contact with other people, both in the cyber and land-based environment, there are certain rules of etiquette that should be followed to ensure that all involved have a good time. Most of this is just common sense and good behavior, but there are some special situations.
In a land-based environment, remember, there are usually hundreds of people that will be in the bingo hall. They all need a chair and table space. Even though it is more comfortable to be able to spread out, don’t hog the space. Many players have their lucky charms that they set up around their playing space and they must make sure they don’t interfere with other players. Don’t say a chair is saved unless it really is. Make room for other players who want to play. Also, when you are looking for a seat and see chairs that are folded or have belongings on them, don’t sit at them. This is a way for people to save their places when they leave the table.
Always be polite to those sitting around you. Some may want to talk, others may not. Respect their wishes. Also don’t moan about your losses: they don’t want to hear about your problems. Don’t be abusive in any way. Be polite and friendly as you are in other situations so that everyone has a good time.
There are also rules of behavior for playing in the online bingo environment. When you play in the chat room, try to fit in with the other players. Don’t ever hog the chat conversations. Always give other players the chance to have their say. The chat facility is there for the use of all players, not just one or two. Always be polite to the other players and the chat room host. Using an alias in the chat room is the accepted procedure. Always use the alias and never reveal the true identities of the other players.
Never be abusive in anyway. This not only includes swearing but also berating or belittling other players. Don’t moan and groan about your bad luck or complain to the host about your luck. It is also not acceptable to brag and gloat when you win. Most other players will congratulate you on your winnings, just as you should congratulate them. The chat room host can cut off players who are causing problems.
