Steve from Zodiac Bingo
Q1: Tell us a little bit about you.
Hi I am Steve I am 26 years old, I live with my partner Cameron and 2 cats in Nottingham, UK. I speak fluent German and Italian (though I struggle with English .....lol). I love to have loads of fun and love working with people.
Q2: How long have you been a Chat Host?
I have been a chat host with Zodiac for 4 months now, but have worked with Anita before.
Q3: How did you become a Chat Host?
I first got interested in chat hosting whilst playing bingo. I told ZM Anita that I would love to become a chat host and ended up working with her. When Anita came to Zodiac she asked me to carry on working with her, I felt that I needed a new challenge, so I said yes. Since making that decision I haven't looked back and I have met so many wonderful new people.
Q4: What do you like most about the job?
Everything! I love the way roomies make me cry with laughter every time I am on shift. I like that the bosses at Zodiac treat their chat hosts with the greatest respect and how all of us are like one big happy family.
Q5: What is the worst part of the job?
The worst part is that I can't be with the roomies 24/7 as we have so much fun together.
Q6: Which are your favorite chat room games?
I love to play chat games where everyone gets the chance to win starbux. I play games such as Planet Pals, Pass The Twisted Dabber and Moonwalk.
Q7: What is the funniest thing that has ever happened whilst you have been in a chat room?
That's a hard one because we have great fun and there's always someone having a joke and making me and the other roomies laugh. So, if I had to choose, I would have to say it was when two of my roomies changed their nicks to Mel Gibson and Sean Connery. I had no clue who they were until they told me, but that night the room was on a star high...lol. Another one was where I was still a roomie at the time and ZM Anita went into the wrong chat room and asked did you all change your names?...lol you are not my usual roomies...that had us all changing our depends.
Q8: What makes a good Chat Host?
I think a good chat host is one who can be friendly, fun and helpful to roomies. I always think of myself as a roomie rather than separate myself in to the chat host category. I also think that a good chat host doesn't favour one roomie over another. I try and have as much fun, and treat every roomie with the respect I would like to get in another room. My advice to some chat hosts would be let your hair down and party, and although you have the chat host title, be one of the roomies as well.
Q9: How would you like to see online bingo (as a whole) develop?
I would like to see online bingo develop in a lot of ways such as faster payouts, higher pots and friendlier chat hosts as you don't get a second chance to make a good first impression...so make the first one count...!
Q10: Any other comments that you'd like to add about being a Chat Host?
I think the key to being a good chat host is to let your true personality shine through, as the roomies appreciate it more when they know you as a person, rather than someone that is just there to maintain order in their room.....Love your roomies and they will love you back...
All the team here at CMOTY would like to say a big 'TY' to Steve.
