Some online bingo sites actually started out as bingo halls around the UK. Carlton Bingo is one such site that actually has 19 bingo halls around the northeast of England and in Scotland. While many people go to bingo halls simply to play bingo, others also want to relax and enjoy the company of friends and perhaps a quick bite to eat or even a cocktail!

The Carlton Bingo hall in Livingston is one of those halls that has a fully licensed bar so that you can have that quick drink before, after or during the play! But if you live in the East Kilbride area, the bingo hall there actually has a café so that you can satiate your hunger while you satisfy your urge to play bingo.

Although the Carlton Bingo Halls have great games, food and spirits, there is something beyond that which they have to offer – a social conscience. At Carlton Bingo Halls you will find that they support responsible gaming. Players must be at least 18 years of age and have ID to back that up.

Then there are the new tax laws to contend with and the Carlton has set up an online template so that concerned citizens can write to their MP’s to protest the changes. These hikes in taxation will put many bingo halls out of business, so it is vitally important to join in the cause. If you love bingo, help to keep it alive. Join in their active petition to have the laws repealed.
