Bingo in Venezuela
Bingo is a popular game in Venezuela, and the country is host to several bingo halls. It is one of the few forms of gambling in the country that is legal to play outside of a casino. While bingo in some countries is played for fun, or for charity, bingo in Venezuela is mostly played for money. Many of the country's bingo rooms are found on the island of Margarita, which is a tourist hot-spot in Venezuela. Bingo is such an important game in Venezuela that people who work in bingo halls are protected by the Nueva Esparta State Bingo Workers Union. All bingo halls and other gambling venues in the country are regulated by the National Committee for Casinos, Slots and Bingo Halls, which has recently decided to stop giving out licenses for new casinos and bingo halls in Venezuela. This, combined with a recent increase in taxes for gambling venues, has lead to an overall decrease in the number of Venezuelan bingo halls.

Online Bingo in Venezuela
Even though land-based bingo halls in Venezuela are on a decline, internet bingo is still going strong. There are no online bingo websites actually hosted in Venezuela, but there are a few hosted overseas that cater specifically to Venezuelan players. Most online bingo rooms, however, will be offered in English. Many sites will let players in Venezuela create accounts and play online bingo games with other player from around the world. Venezuela has no restrictions on gambling over the internet, so players can freely use foreign online bingo halls and other online gambling sites from Venezuela.
