What Constitutes Gambling
Police in Costa del Sol have clamped down on bars holding bingo sessions, where money is the prize. If you pay a stake for the ticket.
Does that mean if you didn't buy to participate it's not gambling. I know the stake is to raise money for the prize. But I was curious.

However, in the UK, if the game is associated with a charity or aimed at raising funds for an organization, such as a church or village hall, it is typically exempt. My suspicion is that the crackdown on Spanish bingo sessions will primarily affect British participants, and it seems the Spanish authorities are intent on making life as difficult as possible for British visitors.

No. If bingo is played on premises licensed for the sale of alcohol, all entry fees must be returned as prizes. It's illegal to make a profit from the game, even if that profit is to be given to a charity.
