Slingo has won the “Best Slingo Site” award at the BingoPort Players’ Choice Awards 2026, one of the UK’s biggest and longest-running player-voted gaming award programmes.

The BingoPort awards are held annually and are unique in the industry, with winners being determined entirely by real player votes. With over one million votes since launching the awards in 2010, they are a trusted barometer of player satisfaction and operator performance across the online bingo and gaming sector.

The BingoPort Players’ Choice Awards are decided by the people who matter the most: the players. This makes Slingo’s win particularly meaningful as players show their genuine appreciation for the platform’s game variety and overall entertainment value with their vote.

The numerous categories recognise excellence across key areas such as game variety, offers, safety and innovation which are all factors that continue to shape the online gaming landscape in the modern era.

Slingo’s latest accolade highlights their continued commitment to delivering an engaging, innovative and player-first gaming experience.

Slingo’s success comes during a time where there’s a surge in popularity of hybrid gaming formats, blending bingo mechanics with slot-style reels and features and their innovation has helped them stand out in an increasingly competitive sector.

With a growing library of themed titles and partnerships with major entertainment brands, Slingo continues to evolve its offering, providing players with fresh experiences and new ways to play.

Winning Best Slingo Site reinforces Slingo’s position as a leading destination for this fast-growing game format.

Slingo Brand Manager Jack Watson said: “We’re absolutely delighted to be recognised as Best Slingo Site at the BingoPort Players’ Choice Awards. What makes this achievement particularly special is that it’s voted for by players themselves.

“As the home of Slingo games, our focus has been on creating a fun, accessible and innovative experience for all players.

“This award is a fantastic reflection of the strength of the Slingo brand and the experience we provide players. Seeing such a positive response from the community is incredibly rewarding and we’re proud to see Slingo continue to resonate so strongly with players across the UK.

“Slingo is also committed to promoting safer gambling and ensuring players can enjoy its games responsibly. A range of tools are available across licensed platforms, including deposit limits, session reminders, time-outs and self-exclusion options, helping players stay in control of their play.”
