I have no idea of the actual dollar amounts since the finances are Bingo's side of things, but in general I don't think forums pay out much advertising, certainly a LOT less than a similar level of traffic on a more typical site.
Because while the forum might get a huge number of page views, most of those are generated by the same relatively small group of people viewing different pages. So the clickthrough rate is going to be a lot lower. There's maybe only 1500 registered users who use the site day in and day out.
I don't know the dollars, but I'd bet that they're a lot lower than one would think.
