The online bingo offerings from Bet365 Casino and 32 Red Casino have been recognised in a numbers game vote.
Bet365 Bingo finished 12th in the New Site of the Year awards at WhichBingo, while 32 Red Bingo ended up one place further back.
Only 23 portals were judged in total in what has become a fast-growing sector of the gambling industry.
Bingo Playground was awarded first place, with Tombola and Wink Bingo making up the top three.
Wink Bingo recently put its name to ITV1's All Star Family Fortunes, sponsoring the Vernon Kay-hosted programme.
Platinum Play Bingo and House of Bingo came fourth and fifth in the rankings respectively.
WhichBingo said: "The New Site of the Year award is now into its second year and 2008 was a huge year for the launch of new bingo sites."
"Competition for votes was fierce ... but there could only be one winner."
