Castle Bingo is a South Wales institution! The independent chain, run by Castle Leisure, has eleven clubs in all. There are eight dotted across South Wales and three more over the border in England.
This page is a complete rundown of them, with a quick line on each club and a link through to its own page for opening hours, session times and prices. Castle has always leaned on big linked prizes and keen pricing, so there’s a fair bit to its clubs beyond the main book.

About Castle Bingo
Castle Bingo is run by Castle Leisure, an independent operator with deep roots in South Wales.
Where the national chains have shrunk, Castle has stayed regional and kept its prices keen, which is much of why its clubs hold such a loyal following.
The bingo is built around big linked prizes. Every club plays the National Game, and a Cashpot Flyer that ties clubs together up and down the country, and Castle’s own Castle Climber game offers a top prize of up to £100,000.
Sessions and Games
A typical Castle day runs in blocks. The afternoon and evening each build from a couple of short teaser games into a ten-page main session that carries the National Game and the link flyers, before a late session and Cashpot Flyer round things off around 9:20pm.
Several clubs also host breakfast sessions on selected mornings. Most clubs open at 11am, though New Canton and Morriston get going earlier at 10am. Exact session times vary from club to club, so check the club’s own page before you set off.
Common Castle Bingo Questions

Who owns Castle Bingo?
Castle Leisure Limited, a South Wales-based independent. Staying outside the big national groups is part of how Castle keeps the bingo cheap and the clubs feeling local.
Do you have to be a member, and what ID do you need?
You'll need to join, but it's free, takes a couple of minutes and you can do it on the day. You have to be 18 or over, and under a Think 25 policy you may be asked for photo ID if you look younger.
How much does it cost to play?
Castle has a name for being good value, though the exact prices depend on the club and the session you pick. Each club lists its own prices, so check the page for the one you're heading to.
What is the Castle Climber game?
It's Castle's own in-club game, with a top prize of up to £100,000. On top of that, every club plays the National Game and a Cashpot Flyer that links players across the country for bigger pots.
Is there a Castle Bingo club app?
There is one. Castle's app puts your membership card on your phone, pushes vouchers and offers your way, and flags what's coming up at your nearest club. You can sign up through it as well.
