Bingo in the Underground Party Scene

Thursday, January 27th, 2011 - Emily W

The game of bingo has long been used for a wide range of purposes, including leisure entertainment, education and fundraising. Now, bingo is making its way into the underground party circuit, as a new movement called the Underground Bingo Rebel Club seeks to redefine the game in a very new, very modern context. 

The Underground Rebel Bingo Club was started in London. After throwing raves in old churches, the party organizers would hang out in the basement and play with the old bingo sets they found. Eventually, they began incorporating the game into their parties and the trend caught on. Soon, Rebel Bingo was a popular fixture at underground party venues across the UK, giving attendees the opportunity to get drunk, listen to a live DJ and play bingo all at once. 

The prizes at Rebel Bingo are fun and unique, as the organizers regularly give away items from IWantOneofThose.com. Cider and other alcoholic beverages are also popular prizes. 

The popularity of Rebel Bingo is spreading, and the trend has expanded across the Atlantic. Now, Rebel Bingo is available in New York City and Las Vegas. The movement has become so popular that New York events are regularly sold out.
