The 2012 BingoPort.co.uk Players’ Choice Awards took place recently – and it proved to be a memorable occasion for the some of the biggest names in the online bingo industry!

Scott Logan, BingoPort company director, revealed the winners at the iGaming Business London Affiliate Conference after the votes had been cast, counted and verified in the UK’s most-respected and longest-running online bingo players’ choice awards.

Players at BingoPort.co.uk, the leading bingo portal, voted in award categories such as Best Online Bingo Promotion, Best Bingo Chat Host Team, Best Online Bingo TV Advertisement, Best New Bingo Site and Best Overall Bingo Operator as the best bingo operators battled it in the fourth annual BingoPort.co.uk Players’ Choice Awards.

It was the William Hill Bingo team that finished ahead of their rivals in the category for the Best Online Bingo Promotion. William Hill ran the ‘Win a Car a Day’ giveaway for the duration of October and it proved especially popular, sparking huge interest among bingo players of all ages.

Other big winners from the BingoPort.co.uk Players’ Choice Awards included Foxy Bingo, Tombola and Wonder Bingo.

An often overlooked part of running an online bingo site is addressing the problem of player churn and the importance of having a responsive chat team committed to keeping the players happy. Foxy Bingo, though, have set the standards for others to follow in tackling these issues and their efforts have duly been rewarded after they scooped the award for the Best Bingo Chat Host Team.

Tombola also took centre stage and enjoyed a double dose of success, winning both the Best Online Bingo TV Advertisement for their ‘We are Tombola’ campaign as well as the Best Overall Bingo Operator.

Wonder Bingo collected the prize for the Best New Bingo Site and excelling in the market of new sites that is expanding all the time and is becoming increasingly difficult to stand out from the crowd. The countdown now is on until the 2013 BingoPort.co.uk Players’ Choice Awards!

Playing bingo gives you the chance to have fun, interact with others all while make money. Although it is a game based on luck, there are a few simple tips you can follow to increase your chances of winning. You can apply these simple strategies to any game in bingo.

Manage your bankroll such that you have sufficient money in your account to play as many games as possible. The more games you play, the more chances you have of winning. Decide on an amount that you want to spend on bingo in a month. Divide that by the number of sessions you plan to play in that time. The resulting number will be the amount you can spend on each session such that you have money in your bankroll to fund games for a month. An easy way to manage your bankroll is to set limits on the amount of money you wager when you are on a losing streak. When you reach that amount, you should quit the session.

Secondly, it is recommended you should only play a few cards per game. You want to be able to look through all the cards in the time between two numbers being called. If you have more cards than you can manage, you will be not be able to look through all of them. If this is the case, then you could be missing out on the cards that have the winning number and risk losing. Therefore, it is best to limit the cards when you play fast paced bingo.

Fortunately, most online game rooms have an auto daub feature which allows players from taking a break from concentrating on the numbers on the screen. Auto daub has been designed to check and mark the cards for you. It is a good idea to take advantage of this feature when playing for a long time. It will give you the chance to stay logged while taking a break. Before activating the auto daub feature, check with the site to see the number of times it can be used in a bingo session. Sites generally set a limit for this. In long sessions, it is best to use auto daub only a few times. By doing this, you will be able to spread the usage of this feature over the session.

It is important to play a variant of bingo that you are familiar with, especially when partaking in a high stakes games. You will be familiar with the rules and requirements to win in the games. So, that will be one less thing you need to worry about and it will allow you to focus checking the cards. Thus, increasing your chances to win. However, if you play a variant that you are new to, you will have to spend time learning the game. This can be distracting and cost you a lot of money in a high stakes game.
