You may think that’s it’s just double or nothing, but to operate a game of bingo on your premises you will need much more then just legs 11 and a little bit of luck, you will need a licence too. However, what licence you need is a question of, how big of a cash prize you are willing to offer.

Bingo is a traditional form of gambling that has seen considerable innovation in recent years. According to the Gambling Commission, there are two forms of bingo, cash, and prize. Cash bingo is where the stakes paid to make up the cash prizes that are won. Prize bingo is where various forms of prizes are won, not directly related to the stakes paid.

Games of bingo can only be provided on-premises with alcohol licences, or premises with a bingo operating licence.

The cost of a bingo operating licence will depend directly on how much the annual gross that gambling yields. To find out more about the cost of an operating licence, please visit the Official Gambling Commission Website.

No, but there are certain requirements that must be followed, including all money raised from the event must be donated and given to a good cause and not for personal gain. To find out more about fundraising with bingo, casino, poker or race nights, please visit the Official Gambling Commission Website.
