Best Online Bingo Operator Announced: Parlay-Powered Bingos.co.uk Named Number One
LONDON , United Kingdom — October 17, 2006 — Parlay Entertainment Inc. (TSXV: PEI), the world's leading supplier of Internet bingo solutions, is pleased to announce that Bingos.co.uk has been named Bingo Operator of the Year. This first-ever award for online bingo was presented during the annual eGaming Awards Dinner at London's Natural History Museum on October 9, 2006. Bingos.co.uk is powered by software from Parlay Entertainment, the world's leading provider of online bingo technology.
The award was established by eGaming Review Magazine to recognise the online bingo operator that has shown leadership in developing the sector. During the judging process, an independent panel considered all aspects of product differentiation, global reach, usability, community and marketing.
Bingos.co.uk was one of the first e-gaming operators to secure a celebrity endorsement when it signed UK popstar Kerry Katona as spokesperson in 2005. In 2006, it was the first online bingo site to offer a potential bingo jackpot prize of one million pounds.
"We are very proud to accept this award, especially since the judges are some of the leading authorities and analysts in the online gaming industry," said Dominic Mansour, CEO of Euro Gaming Limited, which operates Bingos.co.uk. "Our entire team has been working tirelessly since launching in 2004 to offer the best bingo experience online and our hard work seems to be paying off. Bingo players certainly love our site, and this recognition by our industry peers reaffirms our belief that we're doing things right."
"We'd like to congratulate Bingos.co.uk on receiving this prestigious award," said Scott White, President and CEO of Parlay Entertainment. "It is certainly well deserved and is recognition by the industry of their excellence as an operator.
"The online bingo industry has truly come of age, and the introduction of this award is evidence of that," Mr. White continued. "The fact that Bingos has been singled-out is further proof that Parlay is simply the best option for online bingo software."
