About Tombola Bingo

This online bingo operator takes its brand concept from the staple of the great British Church Fete, the good old-fashioned Tombola.

It emerged back in 2006 with a pure bingo offer, but they’ve since added Tombola Arcade in 2016.

Tombola Arcade has a unique feel with instant win games you won’t find anywhere else, including flip, pick, bubble cards, and go and glow.

But Tombola Bingo is all about bingo and describes itself as Britain’s biggest bingo site. 

They are licensed and regulated by both the UK Gambling Commission and Gibraltar Gambling Commission – making them incredibly trustworthy.

In early 2022 Tombola Bingo was bought by Flutter Entertainment for the princely sum of £400M. Their acquisition means they’re now part of a group operating big names such as Sky Betting and Gaming and Paddy Power.

Other Bonuses and Jackpots

Every week at Tombola, some £7M in prizes is won. They’re home to one of Britain’s biggest bingo bonuses with a guaranteed £100,000 full-house prize in their monthly game.

Tombola also offers a number of progressive jackpots and big jackpots, especially in their Bingo Blocks.

Once you’ve joined, Tombola offers players plenty of ongoing bonuses and promotions, including free bingo and daily free games. Their daily free games are changed only a few times yearly for consistency.

You should also keep an eye on their social accounts for any promotions as well as opt into email marketing for special offers.  

Tombola Bingo Games

Unlike other bingo sites, Tombola uses its own software and in-house-built games, giving it a truly unique vibe.

A total of 22 bingo rooms are on offer with a great selection of ball variations, including 90-ball, 80-ball, 75-ball, and 30-ball. There are also a couple of 60-ball bingo games.

Games include:

• Potion 
• Morph 
• Blocks
• Roller-Coaster

New games are always added to ensure the bingo is kept as fresh as possible. Ticket prices, in the main, tend to be 1p, 5p and 10p with the maximum being set at £2.

Deposit and Withdrawal Methods

Tombola Bingo has a very limited amount of banking methods to choose from; primarily, they offer Debit Cards – Visa and Mastercard.

The minimum deposit and withdrawal amounts are £10, and payment is super quick. Deposits occur instantly, and withdrawals will appear in your account within a few short hours.

You can set your own deposit limits to ensure you’re not overspending, but there’s a ceiling for all players of a net deposit of £250 per week. This is the difference between your deposit total and withdrawal total. For instance, if you deposit £200 and withdraw £100 then your net deposit is £100. This is to ensure people withdraw cash from their accounts.

Community and Chat Room Experience

Bingo isn’t bingo without the banter.

Tombola has a friendly online community with charming chat moderators in the chat rooms who are always ready for a natter.

You can also join in the conversation on social media via Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.

Social media accounts also promote new games, giveaways, and promotions.

Customer Service

Great customer care is a hallmark of any good business, so we’re delighted to confirm that Tombola knocks it out of the park in this respect.

You can contact them via:

• Live Chat 24/7
• Telephone
• Email

You can also pose any questions you might have to the chat hosts or reach out to them on Twitter or Facebook.

They also make some big promises on their website that Live Chat will be answered in four seconds, telephone in eight seconds, and emails in four hours.

That’s setting the bar very high; good for them!

Tombola Bingo Experience on Mobile

Can you imagine sitting in a smoke-filled bingo hall in the 1970s with your grandmother and telling her that one day, you’ll be able to reach in your purse and play all your favourite bingo games from a phone in the comfort of your own home? She’d think you’d gone stark raving mad! 

Of course, we all take that technology for granted these days. Tombola is fully optimised for mobile devices, making them perfectly playable via a web browser. You can also download the App from the App Store or Play Store, depending on your device.

Both App and Bowser play work perfectly.

Review Summary – You’ll be bowled over by Tombola

Tombola is a pure bingo site with a bespoke look and feel.

And that’s not a bad thing. Once you’ve played a few online bingo sites, you realise that they’re offering many of the same games, provided – in the main – by American bingo specialist Bally’s and Playtech from the Isle of Man.

At Tombola, every game is built in-house, making the whole experience unique.

It has a strong bingo community feel emanating from its chat rooms, while its sister site, Tombola Arcade, has slots and instant wins if you want a change of pace.

The only downside is the lack of banking options. This bingo operator accepts Debit Cards only, although payment is quick.

If you love bingo, you’ll be bowled over by Tombola long after the fantastic welcome bonus with no wagering requirement is a distant memory.
