Featured CMs - International

Q1: Tell us a little bit about you.

I live on the east coast. I love racing GO Dale JR, like to go fishin' when I can. I love to make people laugh and just have a good time. I enjoy online bingo and I really love working at Bingo Vega everyone there is great!

Q2: How long have you been a Chat Host?

I have been hosting at Bingo Vega for 4 years, and loved every day of day of it.

Q3: How did you become a Chat Host?

I have been chatting online for years and one of my friends talked me into playing bingo. I was having so much fun in chat with players at every site i played at. My friends suggested I should apply for a CM job I have been a CM since.

Q4: What do you like most about the job?

I love chatting with the players, bingo players are the most fun chatters, you never know what they will come up with next. I have met some wonderful people who seem like family. There is such a variety of personalities, every day is different then the last.

Q5: What is the worst part of the job?

The only thing i can think of is that everyone doesn't always win. I try to make sure all players win BB's in chat while their luck is down on the bingo games.

Q6: Which are your favorite chat room games?

Twos, Buddies and of course Teams. Also, any game that gives the entire room a good chance to win BB's so no one is left out.

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

When a normally quiet player decided to pretend to drive a bus while the bus pattern played. She had the room leaning to the left and right, added click-click for changing gears and even screeched for the brakes. She gave us mental pics during the ride that still make us all laugh.

Q8: What makes a good Chat Host?

The ability to keep the room upbeat and entertaining. Welcome new players, point them to areas of the site that will be helpful to them and answer their questions quickly. Chat Hosts also need to have a lot of patience and keep smiling. Try to cheer up players who are having a bad day, laughter really is contagious. Interact with the room and keep chat moving. CM's are the front line to their site and should always be aware of that.

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

I think parlay does an excellent job at keeping their sites up to date and fresh. All bingo sites (no matter what software they use) should listen to player suggestions and make their experience as enjoyable as possible so they will continue to play.

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

I love the job. I believe I am lucky to have a career that is also something I genuinely love doing.

All the team here at CMOTY would like to say a big 'TY' to Beth.
