What’s Changed for 2026
Introducing the Pre-Show Categories
Who do we think we are, the Oscars?
Still player voted and with a focus on the ‘in-real-life’ experience, we’re adding 5 Pre-Show categories as a way to celebrate events, traditional venues, and personalities that bring our industry to life.
Nominations open after the main categories to keep the excitement going right up to awards day. Winners will be announced across WhichBingo’s social media channels on the afternoon of Awards day 13th May.
What else has WhichBingo Awards 2026 got going on? We’re rolling out:
- A Broader Category Lineup:
To give even more brands their moment in the spotlight, we’re offering the public 5 Pre-Game and 12 main categories to vote on, plus 4 categories judged by our expert panel.
- New Judging Criteria:
We have improved our WhichScore Rating methodology so our judges can focus on what genuinely matters to players, from site functionality to unique features and games, ensuring every winner reflects real player priorities.
- A Stronger Focus on Safer Play:
This year, we’re advocating for safer gambling and player trust. We want to celebrate brands that actually make playing responsibly easier, and are more transparent about gambling’s impact. Our shared mission with Better Change has never been more important.
- Hybrid Brands That Offer Both Bingo and Slots/Casino Games:
Not all brands fit into one box anymore. Many are now blending bingo with slots, casino, and even sportsbook play. So this year, we’re making space for these hybrids.
- Prize Draws and Giveaways
This year, we’re giving away £2,500 in prizes and there’s more than one chance to win. There are two separate prize draws:
- 5 x £250 vouchers* for voting in the 12 Main Categories, and
- another 5 x £250 vouchers for the 5 Pre-Show Categories
* for an approved retailer of your choice
