«2005 was a landmark year for Bingo.com,» stated Tarrnie Williams, the Company's CEO. «Our online gaming strategy was successfully implemented and has recorded strong growth since its initial launch.

We expect 2006 to be a record year for online bingo and Bingo.com.»
Bingo.com, Ltd. (the «Company») ended the 2005 fiscal year with total revenue of $1,981,061, an increase of 71% over the previous year's revenue of $1,158,620.

Our revenue from the cash bingo gaming operations amounted to $594,582 for the year ended December 31, 2005. Of the $654,438 in revenue for the quarter, the cash bingo operations provided revenue of $353,348, an increase of 79% from revenue of $197,873 in the third quarter of 2005. This increase is due to an increase in the number of cash bingo players. Advertising Revenue increased to $1,386,479 for the year ended December 31, 2005, an increase of 20% over revenue of $1,158,620 for the same period in the prior year. The Company earned advertising revenue of $301,090 in the fourth quarter of 2005, an increase of 12% from advertising revenue of $267,860 in the third quarter of 2005.
