All bingo in Alaska is charitable gaming, played for nonprofits and other permit holders under state law. The Alaska Department of Revenue issues the permits, and you must be 19 to play. The biggest halls are in Anchorage and Wasilla, where licensed operators run sessions every day. Smaller charity games play in Homer and downtown Juneau. Last checked: October 2026. We confirmed 6 games on each hall’s or organizer’s own website, and only the two big operator halls post a full session schedule. That is a short list for so large a state. Another 17 are older directory leads, and we could not confirm any game in Fairbanks and the Interior, Kenai, Soldotna, Palmer, Ketchikan or Sitka. Alaska halls post little online, and winter hours can differ from summer ones, so call before a long drive.

Bingo in Anchorage, Wasilla and the Mat-Su Valley
Anchorage and Wasilla have Alaska’s biggest bingo halls: three confirmed games, and two of them play every day of the week. Tudor Bingo Center on East Tudor Road is the biggest, with two to four sessions a day. Big Valley Bingo in Wasilla, run by the same family, plays every evening at 7:00pm.

Bingo in Fairbanks and the Interior
Fairbanks has the second largest number of charity gaming permit holders in Alaska, yet we found no confirmed bingo games there or anywhere in the Interior. None of its bingo halls has a website we could check for 2025 or 2026. Chena Bingo, Youth Sports Bingo, Downtown Bingo and Honest Bingo appear in directories. They are in the table near the end of the page, with what those lists show. Across the border, see our Yukon bingo guide.

The Kenai Peninsula has one confirmed bingo game in Alaska, and right now it plays once a month. The Homer Emblem Club game at the Homer Elks Lodge runs every Wednesday from May to September. From October to April it plays only on the first Wednesday of the month. Kenai and Soldotna have plenty of pull-tab shops, but no bingo schedule we could confirm. Old Town Bingo in Kenai appears in a directory and is listed with the older leads below.

Bingo in Juneau and Southeast Alaska
Juneau has the only two confirmed bingo games in Southeast Alaska, both downtown. Tlingit & Haida Bingo at Elizabeth Peratrovich Hall plays three nights a week. The Filipino Community Hall on South Franklin Street holds bingo nights too. Neither posts its current nights or start times on its website, so phone first.

The Chin’an Gaming Hall near Chugiak, run by the Native Village of Eklutna, has electronic gaming machines, and we found no live bingo sessions there. A Tlingit & Haida gaming hall planned for Douglas Island in Juneau is not open.

Alaska Bingo FAQ
Is bingo legal in Alaska?
Yes. Alaska allows bingo as charitable gaming, run by a qualified nonprofit or a municipality with a permit from the Alaska Department of Revenue. Licensed operators run the large halls in Anchorage and Wasilla for permit holders.
How old do you have to be to play bingo in Alaska?
You must be 19 to play bingo in Alaska, under AS 05.15.180. Pull-tabs, sold at most bingo halls, may not be sold to anyone under 21.
Is there a prize limit on bingo in Alaska?
Alaska caps bingo prizes by the year, not by the game. A permit holder may award up to $840,000 a year, or $660,000 when an operator runs its games, and yearly payouts may not pass 85 percent of bingo sales. At Tudor Bingo Center in Anchorage, evening games pay $1,000 each.
How many nights a week can an Alaska charity play bingo?
An Alaska permit holder may hold up to 14 bingo sessions a month on its own, or 11 when an operator runs them. Each session is capped at 35 games. Tudor Bingo Center in Anchorage plays every day and lists dozens of charities it runs games for.
Is there radio bingo in Alaska?
We did not find a radio bingo game on the air in Alaska in 2026. State law bars charity games over radio or TV. The one exception: the Alaska Department of Revenue may let a noncommercial station run one under its own permit for up to 12 hours a year.
Where can I play bingo in Anchorage?
Tudor Bingo Center at 1436 E. Tudor Road plays every day in Anchorage, Alaska: Monday to Thursday at 7:30pm and 10:30pm, Friday to Sunday at 3:00pm, 6:00pm, 9:00pm and 12:01am. Northern Lights Bingo at 703 W Northern Lights Blvd is open daily from 11:00am, but call for its session times. Big Valley Bingo in Wasilla plays every evening at 7:00pm.
Where can I play bingo in Fairbanks?
We could not confirm a current bingo game in Fairbanks, Alaska. Directories list Chena Bingo, Youth Sports Bingo, Downtown Bingo and Honest Bingo, and they are in the More Alaska Bingo Listings table with the phones those lists give. The confirmed games on this page are in Anchorage, Wasilla, Homer and Juneau.
Where can I play bingo in Juneau?
Tlingit & Haida Bingo at Elizabeth Peratrovich Hall, 320 W. Willoughby Ave, plays three nights a week in Juneau, Alaska, and pays out $5,000 each night. The tribe does not post which nights, so phone 907.463.7133. The Filipino Community Hall at 251 S Franklin St. also holds bingo nights but posts no schedule on its website, so call (907) 586-4116.
Why call before I go?
Only 6 bingo games in Alaska are confirmed here, and just two of them, Tudor Bingo Center in Anchorage and Big Valley Bingo in Wasilla, post full current schedules online. The Juneau games do not post their nights, and Homer plays only the first Wednesday of the month from October to April. Fairbanks, Kenai, Soldotna, Palmer, Ketchikan and Sitka have only older leads, so a call saves a cold drive.
