Bingham won the first two non-ranking tournaments he entered, beginning with the Pink Ribbon Pro-Am charity tournament where he whitewashed Peter Lines 4–0 in the final. He followed this up by claiming the first Asian Players Tour Championship with a 4–3 victory over Stephen Lee. At the Wuxi Classic, he won deciding frames in each of his matches to reach the final, overcoming Peter Ebdon, Ken Doherty, world number one Mark Selby and Mark Davis. He played Ricky Walden, but trailed 1–7 at the conclusion of the afternoon's play, before eventually losing 4–10. This ended Bingham's winning start to the season, which had seen him take 16 matches in a row. He couldn't defend his Australian Goldfields Open title as he lost to Matthew Selt in the first round 4–5.
