Is Bingo Legal in Oklahoma?

There is much debate surrounding the legality of bingo in Oklahoma. While some believe it to be a form of gambling that is illegal under state law, others contend that it is exempt from gambling prohibition as a social activity. Bingo is not explicitly mentioned in the Oklahoma Constitution, and its legality has been the subject of case law. In 2006, a court ruled that bingo was not illegal as a form of gambling, but it could not determine if bingo was a social or commercial activity.

In 2012, a different court ruled that bingo was a social activity and therefore exempt from gambling prohibition. The Oklahoma Attorney General has appealed both rulings and the case remains unresolved.
