Prior to recent legislation, charity bingo games in California were limited to paying out no more than $250 on a single game. At the same time, potential players were being attracted to more exciting payout opportunities from Indian casinos. In addition to offering higher and more exciting payouts, these casinos are able to offer different types of gambling games and opportunities. This meant that charities had a much harder time attracting players for their bingo games.

With the recent advent of California Penal Code 326.3, charities and non-profit organizations can now involve themselves in a bingo game that offers “life changing” prize money to their players. With greater prize money available, charities and non-profits who want to raise money through bingo can better compete with casinos for players and their money.
