The UK can be seen as the home of modern bingo per head of population it is the country where the game is the most popular. The UK bingo industry has been innovative and now there are many kinds of UK bingo available for players.

UK bingo has its roots in groups of barrow women in London wanting to gamble after they were banned from playing dice. Those women began to play a form of bingo amongst themselves. Today this type of independent bingo is still very popular especially for fund raising and general socialising.

How UK Bingo Evolved

Once businessmen realised how popular the game of bingo was becoming they saw an opportunity and began to run organised games. They provided somewhere to hold the games, the chance to buy refreshments and offered some great prizes. Effectively they set up the first bingo halls.

Bingo halls became very popular in the UK, but eventually went into decline as people found other things to do with their leisure time. Now the most popular form of UK bingo is the type that is played online. Some of the earliest online bingo sites were developed for the UK market.
