It has been years that the UK bingo industry has been trying to get HMRCS to cut bingo tax. This is tax for clubs of the live variety, not necessarily the online kind. Now, apparently all Britain is celebrating because the Government has finally realised that this industry is in serious jeopardy. Bingo tax has been cut from 15 to 10%. Chancellor, George Osborne has finally been convinced to attempt to “protect jobs and protect communities”. During the last thirty years – ¾ of bingo halls have gone out of business, and 2000 jobs have been lost.

But like all taxation concessions, the Chancellor is still compelled to balance the budget, and has predictably given with the right hand, while taking away with the left. The bad news is that fixed odds betting terminals have to bear the burden of the concession for bingo. According to Osborne, these machines have "proliferated" during the last ten years. So, he has raised their tax to 25%. On the good side – and there is another – beer duty has also been cut, and Rank (Mecca Bingo)will be building three new bingo halls.

On the other side of the tax landscape – online gambling concerns that are situated in white listed areas, have not paid tax to the UK since the industry first got its start. It is realistically speaking unfair, that these businesses may offer services to a UK-facing audience, make money from these services, and not pay tax to the UK Treasury. This is all set to change, and taxes on remote gambling are about to kick off from December of this year (2014).

In the meantime Ireland has not been as quick off the mark as the British have, where the regulatory process for online gambling tax has not yet passed the committee stage. The Betting (Amendment) Bill 2012 has passed through the Dailhowever, but who knows how much longer the bill will take to be passed? This act provides a regulatory regime for online gaming operators, but has been gathering dust since 2011. Apparently the Ministry for Finance has been dragging their heels, and all the bill needs is to be signed.

While the gravy train ride is not quite over for operations such as online bingo, casino, poker, and sports betting operators, in the UK and Ireland, the net is certainly closing in. New tax benefits for the bingo crowd, could not as badly materially affect British operators in the online game. So, there is something for these operators to look forward to – being taxed is not all doom and gloom.

It is a very sad but true fact that many land-based bingo halls in the UK have already gone the way of the Dodo, and no longer exist any more. Historic Bingo halls were often once, dance halls, cinemas, and even theatres, and many have a particular – even art-deco – charm of their own. We see these closure taking place regularly, and although this short piece is not really supposed to be about land-based bingo, we though to use it as a platform to at least say something before they are all gone.

Another sad but true fact is that the Government in the UK sees fit to tax this "soft gambling" activity, more than it does for casinos. Casinos as we know, offer some very high-roller games, and yet pay less tax. Online bingo and casinos in the UK, have been burned by customs and excise before, and have retreated into the safe harbours of offshore, white listed territories. UK land bingo halls don’t have this choice. One cannot simply pick up the largest bingo hall in London, with some gigantic crane, and plop it down upon Alderney. Online bingo on the other hand is an extremely portable business.

Bingo halls in the UK offer a surprising, and barely surviving, legacy of valuable architecture. They were once the pumping heart of many a community too. It has been nigh near impossible for many to keep up with the taxes required, as well as compete against online site, which offer a ton of free bingo, massive cash and tangible prizes, as well as hosts of fantastic promotions.

As well at the tax situation, and the threat posed by online bingo, halls in this country have seen steadily declining audiences since the 1980’s. Then round about 2006 a smoking ban was introduced, and all of these factors together have rung a death knoll for many.

Playing bingo online has completely transformed this game, not only in terms of delivery, but by the sheer variety of games that can now be played. These games can be played 24r/7, 365 days a year, and many die-hard fans of bingo clubs now prefer to play online. The convenience factor plus the fact that most people keep up with advances in technology, has also attracted a whole new demographic of bingo player.

It is not all bad news however, while some historic building that once housed hives of bingo fans have gone the way of the Dodo. Others are being revamped and given a new lease on life. Some have re-emerged as supermarkets, shopping malls, nightclubs and other venues, so while the buildings do remain, it is only the game that has changed.
