In the face of this year's earlier uproar surrounding Gala's resolution to pull out of the National Game, they still seem to be catching the attention of ever-increasing numbers of players in the world of bingo.

It has now been announced that Gala Bingo Online will also withdraw from the Bingo Association. The move means that Gala has chosen to sever their relationships with all bingo trade associations.

The Chairman of the Bingo Association, Sir Peter Fry commented:-

"The Association has represented the industry in a robust and successful manner, providing a cohesive voice for bingo. Despite Gala’s decision to be outside this important industry forum and platform, the continued membership of over 75 other leading operators, including Mecca, leaves the Association informed and able to act successfully in representing the industry’s interests. The industry has faced a number of challenges in the past eighteen months and is still fighting to address some of the key inequalities that remain, such as double taxation. In challenging these issues the Association will remain an important conduit for members to ensure that their views are represented and for Government departments who seek an industry wide perspective.”
