The website aims to promote real world bingo and get people to try bingo for the first time. Offline bingo halls have had a bad run since the launch of the smoking ban in July 2007, changes in gambling laws and what is generally considered an unfair tax regime. Industry analysts predict that between one-fifth and half of the bingo venues will close in the next two years.

We have recently taken over the day-to-day running of the site and, after a facelift, we think the newly launched site will help people find their local halls and combine visiting clubs with their on line bingo playing. Vikki Taylor, managing director of Digital Pop said: "We have recently taken over the day-to-day running of the site and, after a facelift, we think the newly launched site will help people find their local halls and combine visiting clubs with their on line bingo playing."

"After the boom of online bingo halls in recent years, there seemed to be a lack of support for local bingo halls in the UK on the internet. Where to Play Bingo has been live since 2005 and is receiving over 2000 visitors a month looking for information on their local bingo hall. We think it could be much bigger because so many people love actually leaving the house to go and play bingo."

Utilising Google Maps, Where To Play Bingo has attempted to list all the bingo halls in the UK and more than 400 are featured on the site. Each bingo hall opperator has their own tag on Google Maps allowing visitors to easily navigate the site and find a bingo hall in their area.

If your local bingo hall is not listed then please - whether you are a player or bingo hall manager - contact info@where-to-play-bingo.co.uk to get your bingo hall added to the site.
