[update June 30, 2009] Some good news & bad news. First, let's get the bad news out the way. We've been having experience with our prize fulfilling company when it comes to shipment of the laptop prizes. To prevent any further delays and inconvenience to you, we'll be pausing the laptop giveaway.

Now the good news - in replace of the laptop prize, we'll be offering the following:

- Grand Prize (player of the month) - $250 Gift Certificate from Amazon.com
- NEW (5 runner-up prizes) - $50 gift certificates from Amazon.com to 5 runner - up winners.

June's Player of the Month draw will be held on Saturday, July 12th, 2009. More details will be posted by Joel on the Vega Bingo blog. [end of update]

Every month, we nominate 100 lucky BingoVegans that represent what it means to be a dedicated BingoVegan, based on the following criterias:

- Number of games played
- Time spent at Bingo vega
- Friends Referred to Bingo Vega
- Active on the Vega Vine community blog
- Active in chat

Then at the end of the month, we host a live random draw on the BingoVega TV to determine the Player of the Month who is awarded a choice between a sexy Apple MacBook or Dell PC and runner-up prize is awarded a $100 Gift Certificate from Amazon.com.

Nominees are always posted on the Community blog and are personally invited to attend the Live Draw Event on the BingoVega TV.

Since starting this special in March of 2009, we've crowned the following BingoVegan's as Bingo Player of the Month.

April Player of the Month: "mermaidcutie"

"It's been a long time since I won anything playing Bingo. My husband teases me that I'm throwing my money away and that I won't win anything. Sunday night, I opened my email and to my surprise I was a winner. I immediately went in and woke my husband. The cost of a new laptop, I'm not sure. Rubbing it into my husband, priceless. I have been a member with Vega for maybe 3yrs, to be honest with you, I can't remember. Nevertheless I am very grateful to everyone at Bingo Vega for the support and kindness extended to me!"
