Reaction from Bingo Rooms in relation to the recently passed Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 (Online Gambling Act) has been mixed. For some bingo rooms it is business as usually but for other rooms US citizens have been restricted from accessing the system. If you are a US citizen who plays at one of the Bingo Rooms that is no longer accepting US players you can still cash out your funds, but you might need to find another place to play.

Party Gaming, who run PartyBingo were one of the first to announce that they were pulling out of the US market effective immediately. US players can only access the client to withdraw money.

Another big network that MissBingo,

FestiveBingo, Mapaubingo, and GoldenPalace all feed into are still committed to the United States. MissBingo is the exception, no longer accepting US players, but the other sites on the network still are. If you are a member of Miss Bingo and live in the US, You will be able to play with your existing balance and your rights to withdraw your cash balance will not be affected, subject to normal terms and conditions.

Playtech, who boost such members as Kiwi Bingo, have also elected to vacate the US market.

America Bingo would have a hard time operating without accepting players in the US. As such, they have taken the stance to continue operating in the US.

"I Play Bingo", which also has a sister sites, SunShine Bingo and Prime Time Bingo, is another network that has decided to stay in the United States.

Although some networks have elected to leave the United States, many of the big ones have chosen to remain. The presence of some of the big networks mentioned above will ensure that US players still have vibrant Bingo sites to play at.

Ed Note: If you live in the US we recommend SunShine Bingo.
