The show was hosted by former Home and Away star Tim Campbell with former Girlband member Renee Bargh acting as the number caller.

National Bingo Night was marketed as an interactive experience for both the studio audience and viewers at home.

This game involved contestants trying to have all the numbers on the bingo balls pulled out appear on the price of their new Jeep.

National Bingo Night achieved a degree of controversy concerning how the game was played and the allegations that the network has not paid winnings claimed by home viewers and audience members.

Then, on the following day, 14 November 2007, A Current Affair aired an exposé on the show, where a woman claimed she won $100 through the home viewer competition.

The day after the final, Tanveer Ahmed appeared on Channel Seven's Today Tonight to defend the rigging claims.

The story ended with Ahmed, in a reference to the show's catchphrase, saying: "There is NO RIGGING on National Bingo Night"On 18 March 2008, the hosts of Seven's Sunrise were ambushed by protesters chanting and carrying placards that claimed "Channel 7 doesn't pay", a reference to the non-payment of winnings to winning National Bingo Night audience members and home viewers, live on air.

Host David Koch blamed the incident on A Current Affair, a theory that was lent credence when the same protesters appeared on that night's episode of the program.

[1] Both Koch and co-host Melissa Doyle have promised to look into the allegations,[2] but later simply read a prepared statement from Seven Network Management.

Another case was in episode 5, red card, after the first seven balls were called out containing 3 Bs, 2 Gs and 2 Os, two studio audience players were one away.
