Bingo is a very popular online bingo game in the United Kingdom, as well as in other places in the world.  In its online version, it is growing in popularity around the world as the major casino software makers and big name gaming company players enter the market. Bingo was legalized in the 1960s in the United Kingdom. This allowed for the establishment of online bingo hall, based on membership.  People who want to play bingo for cash prizes belong to bingo clubs and these are more or less social clubs. There are more than six hundred of them throughout the United Kingdom since eight percent of the U.K. population plays bingo.  More than three million people enjoy the game, playing at least twice a week. The only place the game can be played for cash prizes is when it is in a licensed bingo hall. Games played outside bingo halls are played for merchandise prizes.

The popularity of the free casino game led to the establishment of the National Bingo Game. This is the second largest computer controlled game in the United Kingdom.  It is second only to the National Lottery in terms of participation and popularity. The National Bingo Game is played through the bingo halls which all link together several times a day for the purpose of the games that are played on a national or regional level.  If you want to play in the national or regional games and need to find a bingo club, check the website of the National Bingo Game.
