If like me you spend quite a lot of time in one of the many popular Bingo rooms. You’ll notice some strange abbreviations in the chat room box other wise known as (Bingo Lingo) Although it may seem strange at first these abbreviations save you time when messaging in a busy chat room and they also help you integrate quickly.
Take a moment to have a look at the Bingo Lingo directory that I have listed below so that you have all the info you need to enjoy the wonderful world of online bingo.
