Playtech prides itself on offering the best bingo offering in
the industry and operates the industry's largest bingo network.
Virtue Fusion, the bingo brand of Playtech, has won numerous awards
reflecting the continued success of their product, with this latest
accolade voted for by the people that really matter - the
players.
The 11th annual WhichBingo Awards are the premier awards event
for the UK online bingo industry. Its aim is to reward and
recognise the very best in online bingo.
Previously known as the 'Site of the Year Awards', this year the
event organisers revolutionised its entire awards process from the
ground up, introducing a new nominations round, 6 new award
categories and an exclusive awards presentation event for industry
guests in Central London.
Amongst the finalists, Playtech powered 11 of the 35 bingo
brands that were shortlisted, whilst in the 'Online Game of the
Year' category, which aims to recognise the best bingo variant
game, Playtech developed 5 of the 7 shortlisted games.
Playtech has a unique offering, built on a platform with a
proven track record. With cross-product and cross-platform
capabilities it allows players to move across products and
platforms using a single login, ensuring the 'on the go', 'on the
sofa', 'at your desk experience' are the same.
This award success comes hot on the heels of Playtech rolling
out its new tablet offering for bingo. Designed specifically
for tablet screens, this dedicated player interface brings all the
features of Playtech's desktop product to life on tablet devices.
With access to bingo, chat and sidegames on screen all at
once, this optimised offering tailored specifically for the ever
growing number of tablet users, makes Bingo play much more
engaging, smooth and fun. This has led to Playtech licensees
experiencing huge take up, helping them win market share and exceed
desktop in new registration numbers.
Daniel Phillips, Virtue Fusion
COO, commented, "We are extremely proud that players voted Playtech
as their winner for Best Online Bingo Software. This
WhichBingo Award is a testament to our core focus of continued
innovation, all driven by working closely with licensees and

unrivalled."
