Bingo in Australia Bingo in Australia is known as Housie, named after the term "Full House" which refers to a filled card that wins the game. Like most other forms of gambling, Housie is legal throughout the country. Australian Bingo is played with 75 balls, and is very similar to Bingo in the UK.
Traditionally, Housie in Australia is a social game, and is used to raise funds for churches, athletic groups and other non-profit organizations. Recently, however, Australian Bingo is being played more and more for personal profit, and large Bingo Halls are starting to become popular.
Online Bingo in Australia Because Australians cannot gamble at sites located in Australia, players who wish to enjoy online Bingo or House in Australia have to use sites hosted in other countries. Nonetheless, Australians shouldn't have any trouble finding internet Bingo sites to play at. Since Housie is so similar to UK Bingo, any site that offers UK-style 75 ball bingo online will be good for Australian players.
