Bingo.com Announces Share Trading Concernsaccrobat_icon

ANGUILLA, B.W.I., August 15, 2008 / Bingo.com, Ltd. (OTC BB: BNGOF), operator of the popular online gaming community http://www.bingo.com, believes it important to provide it’s shareholders and the public with information of a material nature caused by important changes that have come into effect as a result of changes to regulations implemented by the British Columbia Securities Commission (“BCSC”).

On May 13, 2008, the BCSC enacted its rule 33-705: “Conditions of Registration for Investment Dealers that Trade in the U.S. Over-the-Counter Markets”. In essence, this change will require British Columbia securities dealers who wish to continue to trade in United States Over-the-Counter (“OTC”) securities to be subject to additional regulatory scrutiny and documentation. For those British Columbia securities dealers who are not willing to subject themselves to such additional regulation, the BCSC will require a written undertaking that they will not trade in OTC securities.

Additionally, it is likely that some Canada-wide banking institutions and securities dealers will, due to the cost of the extra regulatory burden, elect to stop dealing with OTC securities not just in British Columbia but across Canada.

If securities dealers either in British Columbia or across Canada, choose to provide the BCSC with the undertaking not to trade in OTC securities, they will then require their clients, irrespective of the quality of the company trading on the OTC, to cease holding or trading in these securities. Over the next several weeks many of Bingo.com’s shareholders will be required by these securities dealers to find an alternative securities dealer to hold or trade their shares. We expect that the deadline for moving these shares will vary depending upon the particular securities dealer.

While Bingo.com, Ltd. is, and has been for many years, a fully reporting and compliant issuer, it is believed by Bingo.com, Ltd. management that, if British Columbia and Canadian securities dealers opt to provide the BCSC with an undertaking not to trade in OTC shares, such a decision will cause considerable disruption in the regular trading of the Company’s shares.
