Charity Bingo
We know that bingo is a popular form of gambling in both the US and the UK but why is it used as a form of fundraising in both countries? You know how it goes, the local church is hosting a charity bingo night or the proceeds from bingo are donated to a good cause. Yes, we know it's a fantastic game but what makes it the game of choice when it comes to doing good deeds?

It could be just the fact that bingo is the greatest gambling option on the planet but something tells me that it's not just that. If you think about it, you can play bingo just about anywhere, any place at any time. Grab a crayon, a piece of toilet paper and oh of course you'll need someone to call the numbers. Bingo takes gambling back to basics and the beauty of it is that it can also be as newfangled as what you see today with online bingo sites and clubs like Mecca Bingo and Gala Bingo.

Bingo can be put together for virtually no cost at all. You can print out the bingo cards and even use one of those online number generators. Within minutes a bingo game can be thrown together with hardly any effort.

Hospitals, research and good causes around the world have been helped by the proceeds of bingo sales. In fact, there are even online bingo sites that donate a portion of their sales to breast cancer or other charities all year long. Instead of cash prizes, gift cards or other items are given.

People love a good bingo game and when you have the opportunity to do some good while playing it, there is no better feeling.
