In-person bingo in the United Kingdom generated over 700 million British pounds in turnover from April 2022 to March 2023. Main stage bingo accounted for the highest share in turnover that year, amounting to 460.8 million British pounds. Overall, each segment experienced an increase in turnover compared to the previous period.
How profitable is the UK's bingo industry?
As well as turnover, another useful financial metric to measure the UK's bingo sector is gross gambling yield (GGY), which refers to the amount retained by operators after the payment of winnings but before the deduction of the operating costs. In 2022/23, the GGY of the British in-person bingo industry totaled over 500 million British pounds.
How many bingo premises are there in the UK?
The number of bingo premises in Great Britain has fluctuated in the past decade. It peaked in 2014 with 710 premises, however, dropped as low as 589 in 2021. Bingo halls have since started to make a comeback, rising to 650 in 2023.
