Cherry from Bingoland Network UK
Q1: Tell us a little bit about you.
A little about me oh dear where to start, I'm a nutty mum of 3 children who keep me young, I'm 34 yrs old and I'm single but boy I love it ..it gives me time to do the things I love !!
Q2: How long have you been a Chat Host?
I have been a chat host at Bingoland UK now since December 2005 I and enjoy it immensely; I hope my roomies love me as much as I love them all.
Q3: How did you become a Chat Host?
I became a chat host by pure chance really I was found whilst playing bingo of all things surprise surprise by my lovely manager CMM Sarah, I had never done it before but had wanted to from the first time I played online.
Q4: What do you like most about the job?
What I like most about my job is meeting new people, building up good relations with them and generally having a good laugh.
Q5: What is the worst part of the job?
The worst part of my job I don't think I have yet found, and hopefully never will, I'm always eager to work and cover any shifts I possibly can.
Q6: Which are your favorite chat room games?
My favourite chat games I would have to say are the tournaments. I really do enjoy doing them, and they really pull the players in, especially when we all join our players in out great monthly tourney Snakes and Ladders... we all have so much fun and I think its good to see all players and chat hosts taking part, we all have such a good giggle and our roomies thrash our butts lol.
Q7: What is the funniest thing that has ever happened whilst you have been in a chat room?
There have been many hilarious moments in chat but just one I will mention that my roomies will all remember and make them chuckle when they read this;- We have a ghost in our chat room called 'Casper' and one day he told the roomies to tell me they couldn't see me typing and they were all asking where I had gone so I logged out and when I came back they all shouted 'Casper' I thought I was losing the plot and all the roomies went along with it lol, I will never forget that and I don't think my roomies will in a hurry.
Q8: What makes a good Chat Host?
You need to have a very good sense of humour, be polite and courteous, but sometimes just be there to listen, we have a great family atmosphere at Bingoland UK and some players come in as they are lonely and just want to chat. You need to be very down to earth and cater for all and not take things said too much to heart!!! (Its not a job for the faint hearted)
Q9: How would you like to see online bingo (as a whole) develop?
Online Bingo is developing every day with new ideas and we regularly take feedback from our players about what they would like to see in online gaming. We take our players needs seriously as they are the foundation upon which we can build a strong future for this industry.
Q10: Any other comments that you'd like to add about being a Chat Host?
I would be absolutely lost not doing this job now; I work on the best site ever and with fantastic CM's. We are all like one big happy family of sisters and our one big brother CM Merlin. After working here I would not want to work in a land based job again, I am soooooooo happy I found my home at Bingoland UK
All the team here at CMOTY would like to say a big 'TY' to Cherry.
