Chat guidelines

News of the World Bingo has some of the friendliest online chat rooms. They're a fun and enjoyable place to talk to other News of the World Bingo players while you play online bingo.

We want you to enjoy our chat rooms but always remember to treat other players how you'd like to be treated yourself.

Please read these Chat Guidelines which are a few simple rules to ensure everyone uses our chat rooms in the right way and protects their personal details online.

These rules are part of the Terms and Conditions which you agree to when you join News of the World Bingo. In extreme cases players who blatantly break these rules may be removed from the website or banned by a Chat Host for 72 hours or even longer.

Chat hosts may sometimes remind everyone in the chat rooms of these rules, but it's good for players to be familiar with them too.

The chat room rules

• Pick a friendly username
• Remember it's never a good idea to give out identity details, including telephone numbers, names and addresses
• Please don't upset other players by swearing or using aggressive language
• The Chat Host is a friendly figure of authority in the rooms
• It goes without saying that players must not slander, threaten, or abuse players or Chat Hosts
• Remember, gaming is an exciting adult pastime and we only allow people aged 18 years or over to play on the site
• You are never allowed to advertise or promote other companies or websites in the chat rooms
• Racism and other forms of discrimination are never tolerated
• Any chat which is overtly sexual could offend and upset other players so please don't use sexual language in the chat rooms
• We never allow promotion of any drug related activities. However, debating the subject is allowed provided it's not pro-drug use or offensive to others
• All illegal activities are disallowed. These include stalking, hacking and gang activities

Advice

• Welcome new players whenever you can
• Don't use capital letters in chat because people see it as shouting
