Commercial Bingo

Commercial bingo is a popular pastime in Britain. There are over 675 licensed bingo clubs in operation, and over 1,000 other clubs and smaller institutions where bingo is played.

In 2005 there were over 78 million bingo club admissions, and it is estimated that there are currently about 3 million active bingo club members.

Bingo is the only gambling activity where women are more likely to play than men. Seventy percent of bingo players are women, and thirty percent are men.

Under the Gambling Act 2005,commercial bingo operations need a bingo operating licence from the Gambling Commission to operate, and some members of staff may need personal licences.

Non-remote bingo operators also need to have been granted a premises licence by their local Licensing Authority.
