Bingo in Ireland
While bingo is popular in Ireland, it does not quite share the same level of popularity as it does in the US or UK. Still, there are more bingo players in Ireland than in most other countries around the world. Both 75 ball and 90 ball games are played, though the UK style 90 ball is a bit more popular. Bingo in Ireland can be played either for fund raising and charity purposes, or as a recreational pastime.

There are hundreds of dedicated bingo halls across Ireland, including many major halls in Dublin and Belfast. Also popular is TellyBingo, which is a televised bingo game that has been running on national TV for many years. Players buy tickets from National Lottery vendors and play every Tuesday and Friday mornings.

Online Bingo in Ireland
Internet Bingo is also popular in Ireland. It has seen a huge increase in popularity since the smoking ban was put in place in 2004. Many players who smoke would rather sit at home and play online bingo where they can enjoy their cigarettes than play in a smoke-free bingo hall. Since online bingo and other forms of internet gambling are fully legal in Ireland, it is easy to find places to play.

There are several Irish internet Bingo sites that are actually hosted in Ireland and cater specifically to Irish players. One of the major sites is Paddy Power Bingo, which also offers a sportsbook, casino, and poker room. Formed in 1988, PaddyPower is Ireland's biggest high street bookmaker.
