Gala Bingo Reunites with Bingo Association
Gala Bingo pulled away from the Bingo Association, the trade body for licensed bingo operators in the UK, in 2008. The decision to separate was made after Gala Bingo had become an independent brand by removing all clubs from the National Bingo Game. Gala Bingo will once again join forces with the Bingo Association as stated in a recent press release.

Miles Baron, Chief Executive of the Bingo Association said: “As the largest operator of licensed bingo clubs in the UK, Gala Bingo are a very important part of the industry and it is great to have them on-board and be fully integrated in all our work. The team at Gala have a wealth of experience that will be extremely valuable in helping to shape and develop the industry's future and I look forward to working closely with Simon in the future.”

The Managing Director of Gala Bingo, Simon Wykes, said: “We are delighted that Gala Bingo are part of The Bingo Association and will again have the opportunity to work closely with other operators. Bingo continues to face challenging operating conditions which are worsened by unfair tax treatment and the fear of ever more restrictive regulation. The combination of the two can only ever stifle investment in a business that needs to innovate through investment. I look forward to working closely with Association Members to fully represent the interests and needs of the industry and further develop the sector agenda.”
