UK Bingo

UK Bingo (also known as Housie) is played on a 9x3 bingo ticket. This is the 90 ball bingo game that has become one of the most popular pastimes in Great Britain.

There are 699 licensed and operating UK bingo clubs in Great Britain. More than 3 million people in the UK regularly play bingo at a UK bingo club and, according to research, UK bingo players are often members of more than one club. UK Bingo is a lucrative business and adds a huge amount to the UK economy. In the year 2000 alone, £233 million was paid to the British economy from licensed UK bingo operators.

The gaming laws in the UK have recently been relaxed in relation to UK bingo. You can now join your local UK bingo club and play immediately. Membership is free and once registered you can play in any club.

UK Bingo is presided over by a caller. The caller’s job is to call out the numbers. UK Bingo callers can take on something of a celebrity status amongst a local community. Callers get together once a year to compete in the UK Bingo Caller of the Year competition. The 2006 UK Bingo Caller of the Year winner was Karl Seth from Buckingham Bingo Club in Manchester. He has now become an ambassador to UK Bingo and UK Online bingo.co. He is even a bingo caller at a number of UK online bingo games.

In 1986 UK Bingo changed with the launch of the National Bingo Game. This resulted in changes to UK bingo legislation to allow linked UK Bingo games to be played. An amendment to the 1968 Gaming Act permitted games of multiple bingo to be played, where pre-selected numbers are called simultaneously at each participating UK Bingo club.

The National Bingo Game is the UK ’s second largest computer controlled game (the national lottery being the largest). The game was first played in June 1986 and now approximately 500 licensed UK bingo clubs link up every night of the year - except Christmas Day - to play. It’s thought that there is £1 million distributed in prize money each week by the National Bingo Game.
