IllianaLancerContra Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) Is it possible to run a bingo game on Zoom? Edited - Is it legal to run a bingo game on Zoom?

But there seems to be something about playing in person. In N.J. they shut all the Casinos. But,there's no indication there's been a big jump in on line casino betting.

IDK how the laws work but isn't bingo exempt from many gaming laws? If a Corps really wanted to make money they would open a casino, not a bingo hall. But bingo is allowed, casino isn't as a moneymaker for a non-profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The different laws settle around bingo being a game of chance and online gambling being a game of skill. But the chassis to run the games online could be exactly the same, it's just that casinos have never adapted to bingo and bingo parlors haven't had a reason to adopt it online.
