If it is a private club and has no government or local involvement (liquor licencing etc) then I would imagine it is up to the club to make the rules. If it has been an ok rule up to now for them to play then I would think majority rules for it to change.
Not knowing the club myself its really hard to give and exact answer.

Age To Play Bingo

By law no person under the age of 18 can play bingo for cash prises ! About 10 years ago a local girl won the bingo national link ( about £80,000 at the time ) when she came to pick up her cheque she was asked the question " what are you going to do with the money " The prompt reply came from her boyfriend " She is 18 in 2 weeks time and she is going to have the best party you could ever imagine " The manager swiftly ripped up the cheque as she was not old enough to play bingo for cash prise's ! i wonder if they are still together ? But the answer to your question is they shouldn't be playing bingo for cash in the first place !

Bingo is classed as gambling because you have a chance of winning money, Sorry but i think your going to have to wait til your 18 to play at the club and/or make your own bingo game at home with out friends or family.

i think you will find that the conditions of your licence allowing you to pay cash prizes for bingo (gambling) prohibit anyone under the age of eighteen from taking part, i suggest you ask your club secretary to check into the legality of this ASAP. You could be in breach of gambling laws and liable to a hefty fine and possible closure.

How about doing a kid's bingo where they can win prizes like DVDs, gift cards, and CDs and stuff?
