WS-2139-1 Organize bingo notification form with DigiD

• The player can win a prize.
• The player has no decisive influence on the outcome.
• The proceeds of the game of chance go to a charity of general interest. For example, a new clubhouse, instruments for the musical society or renovation of the church.

Cost: see Fees Ordinance.

You may host a bingo if:

• An association in existence for at least 3 years organizes the bingo;
• The value of the prizes per game round is a maximum of €400;
• The maximum value of the prizes per meeting is €1,550.
