“In the second quarter of 2008, Bingo.com made some important strides towards returning to profitability,” said Tarrnie Williams, the Company’s CEO. “Despite not yet acquiring licensing status enabling us to advertise in the UK, we acquired thousands of new real-money players, increased our revenues, decreased our net loss, and further developed the entertainment available at Bingo.com. We remain focused on launching Bingo.com into new markets and enhancing the product offering of games at our website as we finalize obtaining a tier one gaming license, expected in the fourth quarter of this year. To help us achieve these goals and provide additional marketing support we secured a $600,000 private placement of our common shares for the Company. The gaming traffic to Bingo.com remains stronger than ever and we believe our strategies will return us to profitability.”

Total revenue increased to $1,560,087 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, an increase of 58% from revenue of $989,576 for third quarter of 2007 and an increase of 10% from revenue of $1,415,858 in the second quarter of 2008.

The increase compared to the third quarter of 2007 and the second quarter of 2008, is due to an increase in our player base. We earned advertising revenue of $72,088 in the quarter ended September 30, 2008, an increase from advertising revenue of $34,761 in the third quarter of 2007 and a decrease of 8% from advertising revenue of $78,417 in the second quarter of 2008.

The increase in operating expenses compared to the third quarter of 2008 is primarily due to the increase in the sales and marketing expenses, especially marketing bonuses granted to players. In addition there was an increase in foreign exchange losses due to the strengthening of the US Dollar in relation to other currencies. The decrease in operating expenses compared to the third quarter of 2007, is primarily due the decrease in television and other advertising expenses incurred to rapidly increase our player base in the United Kingdom.

The increase in net loss compared to net loss in the second quarter of 2008, is due to the increase foreign exchange losses due to the strengthening of the US dollar in relation to other currencies. The decrease in net loss compared to the third quarter of 2007, is due to an increase in gaming revenue as a result of the launching the cash games in the United Kingdom.
