# Get Started

Your quick guide to $BINGO night

**Step 1: Connect Your Wallet**

Before anything else, you'll need to connect a compatible crypto wallet to your Telegram account. Use the `/connect` command and follow the prompts to securely link your wallet.

**Step 2: Acquire $BINGO Tokens**

You'll need $BINGO tokens to play the game. These can be purchased on popular decentralized exchanges like Uniswap. Make sure you have enough in your wallet to join the games and place bets.

**Step 3: Join a Game**

Got tokens? Great. Type /create \[bet amount] \[number selection] to kick off a new game or /join \[number selection] if you prefer to crash someone else's party. Feeling lucky? Instead of choosing your own numbers, type in lucky instead!

**Step 4: Understand the Rules**

Before you start, make sure you know the game rules. Check out the 'How to Play' section for a detailed breakdown.

**Step 5: Play and Win!**

After everyone's locked in and the countdown timer hits zero, it's showtime. If the numbers drawn are on your bingo card, you're not just another face in the crowd—you're a winner and a chunk of that prize pool is yours.

You're now primed and ready to dive into the $BINGO community. Who knows, you might just be the next big winner.
