The end of a year and a start of a new one always brings about a bunch of award ceremonies! We've had British Comedy Awards, Golden Globe nominations have been announced, Christiano Ronaldo has been name top footballer and before long it'll be time to announce the winner of The Oscars. In the bingo world awards are on offer too!Which Bingo are once again running their Site of the Year and New Site of the Year award. This is voted for by the players and last year's winners Think Bingo will be hoping to reclaim their crown. Gone Bingo took the newcomer award.
Joining Which Bingo in offer awards is another big bingo portal - Bingoport! They have 6 awards on offer: Best Bingo advert, best new site, best chat team, best online promotion, best game innovation and best overall bingo operator.
It's great to celebrate the bingo industry, but the problem with awards is that the voting is usually skewed. Bingo sites will beg for votes and ultimately it will come down to which bingo site gets enough of their users to vote for them (and that will explain why some of the previous Site of the Year Top 10 results have been a bit strange).
This year's winner has to be Wink Bingo - both as best new site and overall winner - so it will be interesting to see if bingo players agree with us. We'll be looking out for the results of these awards early in 2009.
