The annual award has previously been won by sites such as Sun Bingo and Mecca Bingo. It is seen within the bingo industry as one of the most prestigious awards that can be won.

Some of the things which it is thought helped guide Ladbrokes to glory included its 500% first deposit bonus offer, as well as a no deposit required bonus for the first time in their history. The site also advertised heavily throughout 2011 leading to an increased market share.

Also winning awards this year were BingoCams, who won new bingo site of the year, and also JackpotJoy who picked up TV campaign of the year for their Barbara Windsor promotion.

BingoCams launched in the summer of 2011 and its unique feature of allowing players to appear “live” on their webcam to celebrate any wins clearly caught the imagination of those players who voted in the awards.

First of all, make sure you can use the bonus money to play any bingo game you want on the site. Some sites offer staggering bingo bonus, but you can only use the bonus money to play free bingo games with no real cash prize involved. If you are relatively new to online bingo and you want to try the game without having to spend your real money, free bingo games can be great starters indeed. If you want to win real cash prizes with the bonus money, on the other hand, make sure you read the fine prints and that the bonus can be used to pursue large cash jackpots without hassle.

Don’t hesitate to create more than one account with different bingo sites in order to take advantage of all top bingo bonuses available. Creating multiple with one bingo site, on the other hand, is something you must avoid no matter what. The company can easily delete your account and write off all remaining balance, since you are virtually violating the site’s terms and conditions by creating more than one account just for claiming bonuses.

WhichCM is the only place on the internet that dedicates itself to rewarding the efforts of all those people who help to run the chat during bingo games.

Make sure you read the terms and conditions that come with each bingo bonus offer carefully. You need to understand them perfectly in order to gain the most advantages from using available bingo bonus offers. If you have points you don’t understand, simply contact the customer support and ask all the necessary questions.

Make sure you can also withdraw winnings earned by playing using available bingo bonuses easily before you claim them. Some sites oblige you to meet certain requirements before you can withdraw your winnings, so make sure you understand the requirements perfectly. Failure to do so can result in your bingo bonus money as well as your winnings being written off your account.

Last but certainly not least, take your time and go through available online resources to find out more about the best bingo bonuses to claim. Online bingo forums and resource centers specializing in the game of online bingo usually offer tips and information on top bingo bonuses available, along with reviews and testimonials from bingo players who already claim the bonus money.

The key to successful bingo bankroll management is discipline. No matter which bingo bankroll management strategy you plan on using, you need to apply the rules strictly and stick to them whenever you play bingo. This might be difficult to do at first, especially because bingo is a very addictive game to play, but you can easily master this aspect with practice.

Allocate a certain amount of money for playing bingo at the beginning of a month or a week. You can then divide this amount of money based on the number of sessions you want to play during the given period of time. Only play with the allocated amount of money and quit right away as soon as you reached the limit.

Don’t forget to allocate different number of bingo cards based on the bingo game you are playing. You can allocate more bingo cards not only when the jackpot is relatively high but also when there are fewer players in the bingo room. You will multiply your winning chances substantially this way, allowing you to win more cash prizes and stay ahead of the game without hassle.

Make sure you play at a stake you can afford. Bingo cards can cost as low as 10p, even less, so you will have no trouble at all setting the right stake according to the amount of your bingo bankroll. Once you choose the right stake to play, you can easily manage your bingo bankroll accordingly.

Allocate the right number of cards depending on the bingo game you are playing. If you are pursuing large cash jackpots, you can safely allocate more bingo cards an increase your chances of winning the jackpot. For low, rather casual, bingo games you can play a maximum amount of 3 to 6 bingo cards at a time.

Don’t get tempted to play more cards than you can afford, especially when the cash prize is relatively low. You will find staying profitable quite difficult to do if you continually play a lot of bingo cards per session.

Last but certainly not least, only buy bingo cards with the money you can afford to lose. This way bingo can still be very fun to play and you don’t have to worry about getting emotional.
