Online, June 30, 2011 (Newswire.com) - The meteoric growth of bingo on Facebook is being recognised by the leading online bingo portal WhichBingo UK, who today launch the first ever 'Facebook Bingo Game of the Year' award.

The award allows players to voice appreciation for their favourite Facebook bingo game.

With voting opening on Friday July 1st 2011, Facebook bingo games have already begun campaigning for votes from their players in order to become the prestigious first-ever winners of the WhichBingo UK 'Facebook Bingo Game of the Year' award. Players have until Sunday July 31st to cast their all-important vote.

The award is being contested by bingo games on Facebook which have more than 1,000 active players and that offer what is considered to be "traditional" bingo, the largest of which has 977,000 players.

Bingo games on Facebook are now enjoyed by millions of active players each month. The Facebook platform ensures a truly social experience for players and allows people from all parts of the world to come together and play online bingo.

The launch of the WhichBingo UK 'Facebook Bingo Game of the Year' vote comes 9 years after Which Bingo became the first online bingo portal to create an award that highlights the best pay-to-play bingo site, as voted for by players.

Founder of Which Bingo, Phil Fraser, said: "The popularity of bingo on Facebook and its rate of growth has been quite phenomenal. Just twelve months ago bingo games on Facebook were a mere dot on the horizon. They are now firmly in view and have lead to accelerated innovation throughout the industry. This is, of course, great news for all bingo players - whether they play on Facebook or at pay-to-play sites.

"The WhichBingo UK 'Facebook Bingo Game of the Year' award gives players the chance to voice their appreciation for which bingo game on Facebook they feel deserve recognition for its achievements."

The winner of the WhichBingo UK 'Facebook Bingo Game of the Year' vote will be announced in August 2011.
