Under the Community tab you will find three ways to invite someone to be your Win Buddies. 

1. Invite your Roomies
2. Invite your Buddies
3. Search Users

If you are in the same chat room as the person you wish to invite to your Windicate simply go to your Roomies list and click on the invite symbolnext to their name.

Inviting Buddies works in exactly the same way by going to the Buddies list and clicking on invite.

If the person you wish to invite is not one of your Roomies or Buddies then you can invite them by clicking on Search Users at the bottom of the Community tab of your bingo games as shown above.

Simply;

1. Enter the screen name of the person you wish to invite on the screen shown below;



2. Check you have the right person and click on “Find Player”.
3. On the next screen check that the name is correct and click on Invite.

If you don’t know the full name of the person you wish to invite then you can use our close search facility;

1. Click on the close search option.
2. Enter the start of the screen name of the person you wish to invite.  You must provide at least 3 characters of their chat name.  For common names then you may be prompted to provide more characters to improve your search.
3. Click on Find Player and you will be given a list of possible matches (or will be asked to provide more characters at the start of their chat name).
4. Select the person you wish to invite from the list of users and click on Invite.
