Bingo.com Announces Third Quarter Results

ANGUILLA, B.W.I., November 14, 2006 / Bingo.com, Ltd. (OTC BB: BNGOF), operator of the World’s Largest Bingo Hall, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2006. All amounts are presented in United States dollars and in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

“It was a challenging quarter for Bingo.com,” said Tarrnie Williams, the Company’s CEO. “We were unable to maintain our strong revenue growth due to unforeseen and persistent software problems combined with slower summer demand. Unfortunately, once the software problems had been corrected, it was too late in the quarter to attain the revenue growth previously enjoyed. As a result, given our pre-planned marketing expenses, we were regrettably unable to maintain profitability. Just as our cash business was starting to improve again, the quarter ended with the unfortunate passing of the United States Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, thereby creating unplanned challenges for the Company and causing us to refocus on emerging markets.”

“On the positive side,” added Mr. Williams, “the Company, in the quarter, completed its market studies and initial preparations for Bingo.com’s entry into the United Kingdom, thereby significantly shortening the time required to enter this growing market. Our planning, combined with the rapid disposition of our United States cash business, puts us in a strong position to return to profitability.”
