The annual award, which was voted on bybingo players across Scotland, is considered the most prestigious bingo award of the year.

Scot Bingo , which was launched in November, has swiftly become one of the favourite bingo sites for players in Scotland.

Managing director George Oborne commented: "Everyone at ScotBingo is delighted to achieve this. We were surprised to place so highly because we haven't been around that long and it's testimony to the hard work of everyone on the team here. We'd also like to thank all our customers for making it such a great site and being so welcoming to new players."

Regular player Lucy Fisher said: "I tried out a load of sites but ScotBingo made getting started really easy and once I entered the chat room I felt right at home. It's good to be playing against fellow Scots."

Hundreds of bingo players across Scotland have been signing up to Scot Bingo, to play bingo, make friends, chat and win money. Players on the Scot Bingo network have won more than £150,000 every week for the past eight weeks.

Scot Bingo's huge jackpots have also been pulling in the punters. In December a player on the Scot Bingo network won over £99,000 from the Cash Cow jackpot, whilst six lucky players won the £1,000 Piggy Bank in the same month.

The great sign up bonuses at Scot Bingo also helped them become the best new bingo site in Scotland. Matt Mc Kechnie said this "After my £1 free I was so impressed that I put £20 in my account. Not only did ScotBingo give me another £20 for free, but half an hour later I had won over £100! That certainly made Christmas a little easier."
