Bingo in Washington: Age, Amusement, and Avoiding Angry Grandmas
Living in the Evergreen State and itching for a night of daubing dots, yelling "Bingo!" at the top of your lungs, and potentially winning a fabulous prize like... a slightly-used porcelain cat figurine? Well, hold on to your bingo dabbers (or, you know, pennies) because we gotta talk age first.

| How Old Do You Have To Be To Play Bingo In Washington State |
The Age-Old Question (Literally)
Here's the deal: in Washington, the minimum age to play bingo is generally 18. That means if you're fresh out of high school and ready to mingle with some enthusiastic bingo veterans, you're good to go. But wait, there's more!
Exceptions, Exemptions, and Excitement (Maybe)
-
Junior Bingo Brigade: Got a tiny tot with a hankering for bingo? Fear not, young grasshopper! Certain events, like agricultural fairs and school carnivals, allow minors to participate in bingo. Just imagine the adorable chaos of a five-year-old yelling "Bingo!" and accidentally claiming they won with a squiggly line instead of a straight one.
-
Family Fun Night (Without the Family Feud): If you're under 18 and absolutely dying to play bingo with your bingo-obsessed grandma (seriously, some grandmas are intense about bingo), you can accompany an adult member of your immediate family (parents, grandparents) or a court-appointed guardian. Just be prepared to explain to them why you need a dabber in one hand and not their prized porcelain cat collection in the other.
Important side note: This doesn't apply to commercial bingo halls (casinos basically). So, no sneaking into grandma's weekly bingo night at the Moose Lodge just yet, champ.
Tip: Read slowly to catch the finer details.
