Featured CMs - International

Q1: Tell us a little bit about you.

I'm married, with a few children old enough to be on their own thank goodness, and a beautiful grand-daughter. I live in the snowy land of Pennsylvania.

Q2: How long have you been a Chat Host?

About 8-10 years or so, and very lucky enough to have been with Hypedbingo from the day it opened its doors.

Q3: How did you become a Chat Host?

I'm usually a very quiet player, but I heard a site was going to try out a few players to see if one had what it takes to be a CM. I sent an email and during my 2 hour tryout in chat for games, my imagination shined through, and the rest is history. I started at Hyped Bingo the next day and have enjoyed hosting and being part of a bingo team ever since.

Q4: What do you like most about the job?

I love meeting players from all over the world, learning about them and their lives, what they do, bringing out the best in them by involving them in the chat room. Being involved in players every day goings on is exciting, you never know what is going to come up next :)

Q5: What is the worst part of the job?

In a chatroom you see the best and the worst in people. Complaining or meanspiritedness is the worst thing about the job. But all in all I have met some great people and made some lifetime friends. Of course there is the ever expanding butt area from being addicted to all that's going on at hypedbingo!

Q6: Which are your favorite chat room games?

Mostly Battleship or any game really. Any game can use imagination to make it fun, so really I guess they are all my favorites :)

Q7: What is the funniest thing that has ever happened whilst you have been in a chat room?

A lot of funny things happen all the time, daily even. Well ok, once a player was called "sugarplumfairy" , and everytime(for some reason) when I typed her name it came out sugarplumpy or sugarplumpfairy.

Q8: What makes a good Chat Host?

Reliability, creativity and imagination. Being knowledgeable about the site you are working for. Being quick to welcome, reply, and acknowledge players. Being a good listener and fair to all.

Q9: How would you like to see online bingo (as a whole) develop?

Well, of course, the first thing is to get American online bingo games back on the legal side of government concern. Liberty to play and jackpots for all!

Q10: Any other comments that you'd like to add about being a Chat Host?

Thank you WhichBingo and CMOTY for giving Chat Managers the chance to be heard! Thanks to all the wonderful roomies at Hypedbingo for the vote! You're all the best. And thanks to our wonderful chat team! Keep up the good work!
