Good evening/morning, Natasa,
I hope you're doing well. Iβve been looking forward to this opportunity for some time, and I must say, Iβm happy to finally see it happening.

How much time on average do I spend on chat every day?
I would say 16 to 20 hours easily. Sometimes even more.
Can I briefly explain what the job of a moderator is?
Of course. A moderator's role is to ensure the chatroom runs smoothly by enforcing the rules, maintaining a respectful and welcoming environment both towards users and fellow moderators, by addressing any disputes or issues that arise in a neutral but unbiased manner.
The above includes muting or warning users when necessary, also assisting the users with questions and queries, guiding them to support when necessary.
And most importantly fostering conversations to keep the chat active and enjoyable since it's a community at the end of the day where users experience highs and lows, as they go through their gambling sessions, so the chatroom definitely should serve as a place where we can collectively both escape and celebrate our gambling outcomes.
Why do I want to become a moderator on this chat?
Good question. Simple answer, I like helping people. The Indian chatroom is full of queries, and a lot of them end up in other rooms. Since Iβve had the same questions myself, I know how confusing it can be, and I think Iβd be a good fit for helping out.
Besides that, I feel like people enjoy my presence in that chatroom, and I have a good rapport with them. It would also be nice to have another female moderator alongside Varka. This space is pretty male-dominated, and representation matters, but at the end of the day, what really counts is how well someone does the job. And I know that if I set my mind to it, Iβd do it well.
I enjoy social roles, and I have a lot of energy to spend on interacting with and helping people. Plus, after talking and observing moderators over the past year and seeing what they do, Iβve developed a real interest in it myself. I like the challenge.
I'm also pretty outspoken with how I am, so i wouldn't mind taking the criticism and challenges that come with having to moderate a community of people I have once been a part of, as a user. Professional and personal balance is important. Remaining neutral and deterring conflict are some qualities I've definitely learned recently.
Have I ever been warned, muted, or banned?
I've been overactive in this community so I've had my fair share of mutes that now serve as a learning curve. I believe that's how you learn. I don't think it was anything out of the line though, and if it were, i served my time.
Have I ever been a moderator on any other platform?
I have some experience moderating Discord communities, mostly ones outside of gambling, as well as occasional moderation in Telegram groups and streams.
Am I prepared to work at nighttime?
I'm definitely prepared to work at night. In fact, it was 5 AM when I sat down to write this application, so yeah, my schedule has been pretty flexible lately.
Good luck everyone!
