When you are playing a game of online bingo you may begin to hear a variety of words within the chat area while the game is going on. Online bingo enthusiasts use many different abbreviations when chatting, as this allows them to pay more attention to what is going on in the bingo game rather than typing. 

The shorthand letters are also used to keep up with the quick speed of the bingo caller. Some of the most common words that you might come across in an online bingo game are as follows:

73 (or any other number) – If a player types a number on its own in the chat box this might mean that this is the only number that they need to win. This is to let others know that are close and can be that the player is hoping for a little luck.
 
Pls – This means please and this might be typed by someone who is close to getting a big jackpot within a bingo game.

Gl – This means good luck

Wtg – This means way to go. This might be typed when a person has won an online bingo game and the expression may be typed by many other bingo players in the game.

Gj – This means good Job, and might be used similarly to Wtg.

Gg – This simply means good game. This might be used by players when finishing a game and they are being a good sport. 

Brb – This abbreviation in online bingo terms stands for be right back. If a player types this they may be away from their computer for a short period and want to let other players know this.
