Bingohall.com, a leading online bingo site, recently announced the launch of the First Annual World Championship of Online Bingo. During the 6-week competition, the site will shell out $250,000 worth of prizes. Bingo players who make it through the initial qualifying games will take part in the weekly Semi Final bingo games. Those who emerge victorious will then compete for the title of bingo World Champion.

The games are scheduled to run from June 5th to July 17th. The Main Event is slated to take place on July 20th. The ultimate bingo winner will receive the World Champion's Trophy, as well a $10,000 first prize. Freerolls, guaranteed jackpots, and other prizes will also be up for grabs throughout the championship.

Scott Logan, Bingohall.com’s VP Marketing, expressed his enthusiasm: "We're very excited about running the first ever World Championship of Online Bingo. "We've made it very accessible for all new and old players to achieve entry into the Main Event, with the ability to qualify for the weekly Semi Final Freeroll from just 10 cents [...] Our players have shown unprecedented interest in the event. Poker has been doing it for years, so why not transfer the same levels of excitement over to bingo?"
