Dear Stockholder:

We are pleased to announce that Bingo.com's results for the year 2012 show that we're on the correct path to financial success.  Total revenues increased more than 25% during the year as a result of our aggressive marketing efforts and we just missed achieving our goal of profitability for the entire calendar year.  We are also proud to have received recognition for our performance as we won the 'Bingo Operator of the Year' award for 2012 from Gaming Intelligence magazine.

For 2013, Bingo.com's European gambling strategy involves expansion into new markets which will come at a significant initial cost.  As we have enjoyed success with our brand and marketing efforts in smaller select markets, we feel that the time has come to expand our efforts and target some larger jurisdictions.  Bingo.com will be increasing its marketing budget in 2013, particularly in the first quarter, as we attempt to penetrate new markets with our brand with the goal to continue to increase our revenues.  Bingo.com's strategic partnership with Unibet continues to benefit us as their technology expands our game portfolio and strengthens Bingo.com's competitive position.  We continue to work closely with the Unibet team to ensure that Bingo.com's strategy remains consistent with the goals of the other brands on the platform and that we're prepared for every new feature that's added to our website.

While Bingo.com's European gambling strategy is the firm's core business, we have been investing in proprietary free to play online bingo technology that will enable Bingo.com to enter the social casino marketplace in North America.  The social bingo segment of the market is projected to be of major value and Bingo.com will be have the competitive advantage of using the firm's significant natural North American traffic to generate installs to our new social bingo game, Trophy Bingo.  Trophy Bingo is an innovative multi-platform product available on phones and tablets operating Apple iOS and Google Android systems as well as online on Facebook.  The game is presently undergoing final beta testing in select jurisdictions and we plan for the global launch of our social bingo game to be early in the third quarter of 2013 at which time a new revenue stream will be established for the Bingo.com organization.

In addition to developing Trophy Bingo for launch into the social casino industry, Bingo.com has applied for patents to protect five bingo innovations that were invented during the design process.  While it may take up to three years to receive a response on whether or not our patent is approved, we anticipate that the innovations we are protecting will be popular in the online bingo industry and will provide long-term value to Bingo.com.

We would like to thank you, our shareholders, for your long standing patience and belief in Bingo.com and we hope we can repay your commitment with positive financial returns.

I am pleased to invite you to the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") of Bingo.com, Ltd. The Annual Meeting will be held on Thursday June 27th, 2013, starting at 11:00 a.m., Anguillian Time, at Ground Floor, Hansa Bank Building, Landsome Road, The Valley, Anguilla, British West Indies.

Important information concerning the matters to be acted upon at the meeting is contained in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement. The business to be conducted at the Annual Meeting includes the election of our directors; ratification of the appointment of Davidson & Company LLP, Chartered Accountants, as independent auditors for the Company for the 2013 fiscal year; and consideration of any other matter that may properly come before the meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Our Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on May 1, 2013, as the record date for determining those stockholders who are entitled to notice and to vote at the Annual Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Your vote is important. Registered stockholders can vote their shares by mailing back the accompanying proxy card or voting electronically. Voting by proxy will ensure your representation at the Annual Meeting if you do not attend in person. Mailing your completed proxy card or voting online will not prevent you from voting in person at the Annual Meeting if you wish to do so.

A copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K and Audited Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, is included in this mailing to all stockholders entitled to notice and to vote at the Annual Meeting or is available on the Company's website at http://corporate.bingo.com.

1999 Stock Option Plan

In September 1999, the directors of the Company adopted a non-qualified stock option plan (the "1999 Stock Option Plan").  Under the 1999 Stock Option Plan, options to purchase shares the Company's Common Stock may be granted to employees and to such other persons who are not employees as determined by the 1999 Stock Option Plan administrator (the "Administrator").  The maximum aggregate number of shares of the Company's Common Stock subject to option under the 1999 Stock Option Plan may not exceed 1,895,000. In determining the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock subject to each option granted under the 1999 Stock Option Plan, consideration is given to the present and potential contribution by such person to the success of the Company.  The exercise price is determined by the Administrator, provided that the exercise price for any covered employee (as that term is defined for the purposes of Section 162(m) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended (the "Code"), may not be less than the fair market value per share of the Common Stock at the date of grant by the Administrator.  Each option is for a term not in excess of ten years except in the case of the death of an optionee, in which case the option is exercisable for a maximum of twelve months thereafter, or in the case of an Optionee ceasing to be a participant under the 1999 Stock Option Plan for any reason other than cause or death, in which case the option is exercisable for a maximum of 30 days thereafter.  The 1999 Stock Option Plan does not provide for the granting of financial assistance, whether by way of a loan, guarantee or otherwise, by the Company in connection with any purchase of shares of Common Stock from the Company.

If a third party acquires us through the purchase of all or substantially all of our assets, a merger or other business combination, except as otherwise provided in an individual award agreement, all unexercised options will terminate unless assumed by the successor corporation.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, there were nil options outstanding under the 1999 plan. No SARs (stock appreciation rights) were granted during this period.

2001 Stock Option Plan

In May 2001, the directors of the Company adopted the 2001 Stock Option Plan (the "2001 Stock Option Plan").

In determining the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock subject to each option granted under the 2001 Stock Option Plan, consideration is given to the present and potential contribution by such person to the success of the Company. 

The exercise price is determined by the Administrator, provided that, to the extent required by law or regulation, the exercise price in the case of an Option granted to an Optionee who owns more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of outstanding stock of the Company shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value (as defined in the 2001 Stock Option Plan) on the grant date.  The exercise price in the case of any Nonstatutory Stock Option, shall not be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value on the grant date.  The exercise price in the case of any Incentive Stock Option granted to persons other than to an Optionee who owns more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of outstanding stock of the Company, shall not be less than the Fair Market Value on the grant date. 

At the time of the grant of the Option, the Plan Administrator shall designate, the expiration date of the Option, provided that no Option granted under the 2001 Stock Option Plan shall have a term exceeding 10 years from the date of grant, and no Option granted to an Optionee who owns more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of outstanding stock of the Company shall be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the grant date (or less, in the discretion of the Administrator), except in the case of the death of an Optionee, in which case the option is exercisable for a maximum of twelve months thereafter, or in the case of an Optionee ceasing to be a participant under the 2001 Stock Option Plan for any reason other than cause or death, in which case the option is exercisable for a maximum of 30 days thereafter.  The 2001 Stock Option Plan does not provide for the granting of financial assistance, whether by way of a loan, guarantee or otherwise, by the Company in connection with any purchase of shares of Common Stock from the Company.

An Option will be exercisable at such times, over such term and subject to such terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator determines.  Payment of the exercise price may be made in such manner as the Plan Administrator may provide, including cash, delivery of shares of Common Stock already owned.

The exercise price is determined by the Administrator, provided that, to the extent required by law or regulation, the exercise price in the case of an Option granted to an Optionee shall not be less than the Fair Market Value (as defined in the 2005 Stock Option Plan) on the grant date.

At the time of the grant of the Option, the Plan Administrator shall designate, the expiration date of the Option, provided that no Option granted under the 2005 Stock Option Plan shall have a term exceeding 10 years from the date of grant.

Disclose the identity of directors who are not independent, and describe the basis for that determination.

Williams, The CEO and President, are members of management and, accordingly, are not considered to be independent of the Corporation.  Mr. C. M. Devereux was a senior executive of the Company prior to April 1, 2011 and therefore will not be considered independent until 2014.

If a director is presently a director of any other issuer that is a reporting issuer (or the equivalent) in a jurisdiction of Canada or a foreign jurisdiction, identify both the director and the other issuer.

At no less than quarterly meetings, the members of the Board (i) review and discuss operational, financial and other reports which they have received in advance of the meeting; (ii) receive reports from the Chief Executive Officer; (iii) discuss issues and developments relating to current Corporation business; (iv) receive and discuss reports from the committees of the Board; and (v) approve and make such recommendations as are appropriate and required. In addition, at least once a year the Board reviews the annual business plan of the Corporation.

All major decisions involving material contracts, acquisitions, divestitures, significant capital expenditures, investments and strategic alliances are subject to approval by the Board. As well, any decisions concerning the Corporation's capital, the issue, appointments to Board committees and the approval of all continuous and public disclosure documents are made by the Board.

In fulfilling its mandate, the Board of Directors, directly or through one of its committees, is responsible for the following:

  • The adoption of a strategic planning process for the Corporation;
  • The identification of the principal risks of the Corporation's business and ensuring the implementation of appropriate systems and management of these risks by undertaking thorough reviews of operations, sales, marketing reports, Audit Committee reports and findings of the Corporation's external auditors to identify the principal risks to the Corporation's business;
  • Succession planning for the Corporation including the appointment, training and monitoring of senior management; and
  • The integrity of the Corporation's internal control and management information systems.

3. Position Descriptions

Disclose whether or not the board has developed written position descriptions for the chair and the chair of each committee. If the board has not developed written position descriptions for the chair and/or the chair of each board committee, briefly described how the board delineates the role and responsibilities of each such position.

Pursuant to the Board's written mandate, the Board is responsible for developing position descriptions for the Chair of the Board and the chair of each Board committee:

  • directing the overall business operations of the Corporation;
  • ensuring that the Board of Directors is kept appropriately informed of the overall business operations of the Corporation and major issues facing the Corporation;

4. Orientation and Continuing Education

Briefly describe what measures the board takes to orient new directors regarding

i.                     The role of the board, its committees and its directors; and

ii.                   The nature and operation of the issuer's business.

No formal orientation program has been developed by the Board. However, new directors have the opportunity to meet with and participate in work sessions with senior management to obtain insight into the operations of the Corporation. It is expected that new directors will generally have been executives with extensive business or other senior level experience and have directorship responsibilities on other public and private company boards and institutions. Orientation for these individuals is provided through a review of past Board of Director materials and other private and public documents concerning the Corporation. Given the level of experience of those joining the Board and the relatively short history of the Corporation, a formal orientation and education programme has not been viewed as necessary.

Briefly describe what measures, if any, the board takes to provide continuing education for its directors. If the board does not provide continuing education, describe how the board ensures that its directors maintain the skill and knowledge necessary to meet their obligations as directors.

The Corporation has no formal policy of providing professional development courses to Board members, though educational sessions are occasionally presented to the Board by the Corporation's outside advisors. Board members are experienced business people with in-depth knowledge of the industry in which the Corporation operates. The Corporation will engage consultants on an as-needed basis to make presentations to the Board on matters relevant to the Corporation.

5. Ethical Business Conduct

Disclose whether or not the board has adopted a written code for the directors, officers and employees. If the board has adopted a written code disclose how a person or company may obtain a copy of the code;

On December 21, 2006, the Board of Directors of Bingo.com, Ltd. (the "Board") adopted a new Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the "Code"), which applies to the Company's directors, officers and employees. The Code was adopted to further strengthen the Company's internal compliance program. The Code addresses among other things, honesty and integrity, fair dealing, conflicts of interest, compliance with laws, regulations and policies, including disclosure requirements under the federal securities laws, and

Page A - 2

administration of the code. The code is available at the Company's website at http://corporate.bingo.com in the Corporate section under Corporate Governance. A copy of our Code of Ethics is available upon request at no charge to any shareholder.

Describe how the board monitors compliance with its code, or if the board does not monitor compliance, explain whether and how the board satisfies itself regarding compliance with its code;

The Board is ultimately responsible for the implementation and administration of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and, given the nature and size of the Corporation, the Board is of the view that it can effectively monitor the day-to-day implementation and administration of the Code.

Provide a cross-reference to any material change report filed since the beginning of the issuer's most recently completed financial year that pertains to any conduct of a director or executive officer that constitutes a departure from the code.

There are no such reports.

Describe any steps the board takes to ensure directors exercise independent judgment in considering transactions and agreements in respect of which a director or executive officer has a material interest.

A director or officer of the Corporation must declare the nature of any interest that he or she has in a material contract, whether made or proposed, with the Corporation. Following such a declaration, Board members will abstain from voting on any resolution in which they may have a potential conflict of interest.

Describe any other steps the board takes to encourage and promote a culture of ethical business conduct.

The Board monitors management on a regular basis. The Corporation is dedicated to the maintenance of good corporate governance and ethical business conduct. In particular, the Board takes special efforts, and engages outside counsel where necessary, to ensure that all legal and stock exchange requirements are addressed in a timely and effective manner. The Board is responsible for ensuring the independent functioning of the Board and ensuring the integrity of the Corporation's internal control and management function.

6. Compensation

Describe the process by which the board determines the compensation for the issuer's directors and officers.

The Compensation Committee recommends compensation policies to the Board and sets the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation. The Committee's guiding philosophy is to establish executive compensation based on corporate performance.

If the board has a compensation committee, describe the responsibilities, powers and operation of the compensation committee.

The mandate of the Compensation Committee is to establish and monitor the Corporation's policies for attracting, retaining, developing and motivating senior employees. The compensation policies are designed to support the Corporation's strategic objectives, ensure that incentive programs are designed to motivate senior managers to achieve or exceed corporate objectives and to enhance shareholder value and to ensure that there is reasonable consistency in the application of the compensation policies. The Corporation's responsibilities include reviewing annually the performance of the Chief Executive Officer (or more frequently if deemed necessary by the Compensation Committee), setting the Chief Executive Officer's compensation and, in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer, establishing his personal objectives, reviewing the performance and approving the compensation of executive officers of the Corporation on the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer, establishing incentive compensation programmes and monitoring their effectiveness and developing and documenting the compensation policy and philosophy of the Corporation for approval by the Board of Directors.

If a compensation consultant or advisor has, at any time since the beginning of the issuer's most recently completed financial year, been retained to assist in determining compensation for any of the issuer's directors and officers, disclose the identity of the consultant or advisor and briefly summarize the mandate for which they have been retained. If the consultant or advisor has been retained to perform any other work for the Issuer, state that fact and briefly describe the nature of the work.

Not Applicable.

Other Board Committees

If the board has standing committees other than the audit, compensation and nominating committees, identify the committees and describe their function.

The Board's three standing committees are the Audit Committee, the Corporate Governance Committee, and the Compensation Committee. The Audit Committee has a written mandate, a copy of which is attached hereto as Appendix II.

7. Assessments

Disclose whether or not the board, its committees and individual directors are regularly assessed with respect to their effectiveness and contribution. If assessments are regularly conducted, describe the process used for the assessments. If assessments are not regularly conducted, describe dhow the board satisfies itself that the board, its committees, and its individual directors are performing effectively.

The Board of Directors as a whole annually reviews and assesses its effectiveness and the effectiveness of the Board committees. In addition, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee meet separately to assess the effectiveness of the Board and its committees.
