Check out www.gamblersanonymous.org and bring her to a meeting. Bingo can be fun and relaxing for people if they keep it to $20-$50 per night and if they are informed of how much the house is keeping and know how to relate that to their odds. If the house takes 30% and you buy three $5 cards then you theoretically have only spent $10 not $15. Over the long run you will get back $10 out of every $15 you spend whether or not you win that night...Maybe she just doesn't know how much the house is taking....

In your best interest seek professional help for all of you to understand and help her. But anyway maybe you should tell her about that bingo game at home that is on TV that plays on Friday night, just print the bingo sheet out and maybe she can play at home for free.

I would consider talking with a psychiatrist about methods you can use to help her. Gambling is a bad addiction for those who can't control it. I was born to figure out how to beat the game of gambling and because of it, I am up. I realize this and have seen some of those compulsive gamblers every day when i am at the casino along with others that i know of. Your best bet, is to talk with someone who may help the situation. For now, talk with a doctor and they can help come up with a plan when you can give more details to him/her. You probably should talk with professional help.
