eGR awards won by Virtue Fusion and Sites in the Network

Indisputably, these are the most prestigious awards in the industry so if an operator or a provider has won one they would most certainly brag about it somewhere on their homepage. Just look for the crests you can see next to the paragraphs to follow. The awards are organised by the eGaming Review – one of the most renowned publications in this business. Their magazine for the eGaming industry provides recent news, expert analysis and insight into the innovations in the gambling niche. There are two awards ceremonies annually, one for the operators and one for the service providers.

The EGR Operator Awards have been held for 10 years now. These are organised to recognise the development, excellence and innovation of the gambling operators. Virtue Fusion operators have collected numerous awards throughout the years but we’ll list only the ones from the previous year. They were held last November at the Roundhouse in London. Mecca grabbed the prize for their Mobile Bingo Product, and that’s no shocker since this is one of the few sites that has not just one but three bingo apps plus a special mobile promotions section with exclusive bonuses for their mobile clients. Gala was only a step away from taking the award for Bingo Operator. Paddy Power were distinguished for their Social Marketing Campaign and William Hill were the winners in the category Outstanding Contribution.

The other annual awards ceremony of eGR is for the B2B suppliers of software, networks, mobile platforms etc. These take place earlier in the year, namely on 17 June, so we already have the results for 2014. We are very pleased to inform you that it’s exactly Virtue Fusion who received the award for the Platform of the year in 2014. In 2013 they received 2 awards, one for Bingo Supplier of the Year and the other one was awarded to them for the 3rd consecutive time – Bingo Network of the Year. And these are only the accolades that were bestowed by one organisation. Read below to find many more awards and records. We also sneak a peak in the lucky realm of the biggest bingo jackpot winners.

Other Prestigious Bingo Awards VF Sites Have Won

Mecca Bingo At the Which Bingo Awards 2014 We are over the moon. So happy. The fact that our customers voted for this means everything to us.

The most important thing you should know about the Which Bingo Awards is that they are given by the bingo fans not a committee or a jury. The players are first asked to submit a nomination and then vote for the best site in each category. Of course, it’s highly recommendable to provide specific reasons as to why you nominate the particular site. Virtue Fusion operators have won many awards during the last decade but again we will just provide a shortlist of the 2014 winners. The ceremony took place at a very scenic venue which overlooks the city of London – the Skyloft at Altitude 360. Mecca won the prize for the Best Mobile Bingo Experience, Paddy Power took the Most Socially Responsible Bingo Site award and Virtue Fusion won in the category the Best Online Bingo Software. Do you notice a recurring trend? Those are almost identical to the eGR awards the winners got. What this means is that the opinion of a highly reputable jury concurs with that of the actual bingo players. There’s no greater confirmation of the quality of a product than this.

A similar event is held annually by Bingo Port and again the awards are voted by the bingo community. But we have to admit that this ceremony is far less popular. Last year, the 6th annual event was held in a bar in London and was attended by representatives of the biggest bingo operators. Paddy Power Bingo took the Best Bingo TV Advert prize. Back in 2011 William Hill was awarded the Best Online Bingo Promotion of the Year for their Win a Car a Day promo.

The Biggest VF Bingo Winners of All Time

Some of the biggest winners in online bingo history have swept up huge jackpots exactly at Virtue Fusion websites. We already told you a about Darryl Howe and Lisa Potter on our home page. They were both extremely lucky. Darryl won his first ever bingo game at William Hill and grabbed a jackpot of £18,000 in record-breaking time. Lisa’s unwillingness to watch football with her husband rewarded her with £1,3 million after a quick game at Ladbrokes.

However, the biggest bingo jackpot winner ever is John Orchard from Lincolshire who scooped up almost £6 million in 2012. We reluctantly admit that this jackpot comes from a Microgaming bingo website – Butlers Bingo. The 60-year-old jobcentre worker had to wait a few hours, so that the operator confirms his win before telling his wife. But even after the confirmation she needed some convincing so Mr. Orchard asked the Head of Promotions to talk to her. You can imagine that this is a life changing amount of money, so it’s no wonder John swapped his old Renault Clio to a fancy Jaguar FX.
