At this time, there weren't many rules or regulations governing this gambling activity, meaning it was rife with crime. This meant that gambling had somewhat of a bad name. Women very rarely gambled at this time as a result. Shifts in the monarchy at this time outlawed gambling for a number of years, as puritanical rule put an end to this vice. After this rule was over, the laws became more relaxed and a state run gambling game, which resembles the bingo that we know today, was hosted. Through the navy, Mexican and Maltese games were brought back to the shores of the UK. These helped to form the game further and create more even rules. Online Bingo Game cards and markers would convert more widely used at this time too. This is when online bingo really starts to become the game that we know and love.
