Job Description - Print Page

A bingo caller is responsible for randomly selecting and calling numbers during each game, ensuring the players are constantly entertained. The workload is varied, and they need good organisational skills and a clear understanding of the rules. There can be many different games running in a short time frame.


A bingo caller may work:


  • for one of the large bingo chains
  • at an independent bingo club
  • at a holiday camp
  • on a cruise ship.


Bingo callers will usually work an afternoon or evening shift. Flexible hours are a feature of the job. As bingo is a leisure activity, clubs are open every day, except for Christmas day. Callers need to be prepared to work during weekends and national holidays.

Salaries range from £8,000 for a new trainee, up to £18,000 for an experienced bingo caller.


Bingo callers should be:


  • confident, with a natural stage presence
  • happy interacting with people from different backgrounds
  • clear speakers with numerical skills
  • observant and reliable.


Opportunities exist throughout the country. There is likely to be an increase in careers for skilled bingo callers, with large entertainment venues opening nationwide, and other gambling venues like casinos expanding to include bingo.


It is possible for bingo callers to be under 18 years of age, although gambling and licensing laws can restrict opportunities. Most start work on the hospitality side, progressing into calling once they have gained experience. Many employers offer in-house training.


There is no upper age limit. People skills, authority and reliability are valued by employers.


Large clubs and bingo chains offer good prospects. Advancement to senior positions depends on experience and commitment. A clean criminal record is required if callers want to move into club management.
