There is no definitive answer to this question as it depends on the jurisdiction in which you reside. In some areas, such as Nevada, bingo is completely illegal and punishable by law.
Conversely, in some states such as New York, it is legal to play bingo at authorized venues provided that certain requirements are met.
According to the New York State Gaming Commission, bingo is considered a game of chance and is therefore legal to play at licensed venues provided that certain rules are followed. These rules include limiting the number of rounds played per session, prohibiting players from betting on their own turn and prohibiting players from playing more than one game at a time.
It is important to note that bingo is not allowed to be played for money or prizes. Additionally, it must be conducted in a quiet and orderly manner and players must be at least 18 years old.
If you are unsure about whether or not bingo is legal in your area, you can contact your local authorities for more information.
