The one hour show mixes free-to-play bingo with entertainment with 3 main bingo games each night and "Golden Jackpot" prize money starting at £25,000 on launch night. There are additional cash prizes to win with the extra games "Magic Numbers" and "Minute to Win It" which run between the main bingo games.

Bingo Night Live boasts the biggest Bingo set on television – all designed to give viewers all the entertainment, tension and drama you’d expect from a great game of Bingo – but all in the comfort of your own home.
During each game the numbers drawn will show up on the large "Wall of Numbers" and marked as they are called by Michael Underwood.

And Melinda will present the "Magic Number" draws where lucky players can win instant cash prizes and enter to play live interactive games with the chance to win even more cash. Jenny Powell has filled in for Melinda on occassion.
The programme isn't shown on STV, the ITV broadcaster for Scotland. The official reasonfor this is unknown. However, viewers in Scotland can view the show through Sky Digital on the ITV1 London feed, on Virgin Media on the ITV audio description service, or online at itv.com.
