Tombola Bingo Please
There are so many online bingo sites that it’s hard to know where to even begin sometimes. If you’re new to the game, or even new to it online then how do you choose? I recommend checking out as many as possible to find the one that suits you best.
I have previously looked at the benefits of playing at Mecca Bingo online. Today I’m going to go through the advantages of playing bingo online at Tombola in my review of the website.
Bingo90 – the much loved 90 ball bingo Everyone loves a classic and this is the original – tombola’s take on 90 ball bingo. Get ready to join the fun with prizes for One Line, Two Lines, a Full House and a progressive Jackpot. 90 Ball Bingo is a simple game that’s fast and exciting – perfect for bingo lovers. Also known as Bingo 90 or Tombola in some countries it’s a party game based on probability. Tambola by Octro is one of the most played Indian housie games and is inarguably the best housie app for mobile phones today. It is a fun game to play with family and friends anytime and anywhere for free.
You may already be familiar with Tombola. Tombola Arcade sponsors I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here in the UK so it’s already a bit hit. However, you only need one account to access both the bingo and the Arcade. Tombola Bingo is part of the same family but, you guessed it, just focuses on bingo. It is also Britains biggest bingo site. So what makes it so special with so many of its loyal bingo customers?
Exclusive Tombola Games
Unique to Tombola is a whole range of bingo games with a twist. ‘Blocks’ was their first newly designed game and it’s a treat. Rather than multiple bingo tickets, you purchase one grid of 36 coloured squares. The idea is to be the first to eliminate six blocks of the same colour from a grid. The first person to do that wins. There is a second cash prize for the player with the highest accumulated points on their grid at that point.
Cinco bingo is based on a deck of cards. There are 52 cards instead of traditional bingo balls. Each bingo ticket is represented by five playing cards. As the cards are drawn they are marked off each of your hands. The first person to match all five of their cards wins.
Plus there are a whole range of other games including Rollercoaster Bingo, Worlds Daily and Pulse Bingo. So for a fresh twist on online bingo Tombola is the place to play.
Range Of Monthly Promotions
When your entire site is dedicated to bingo it’s easy to see why there are so many promotions on offer. Which is exactly why Tombola has nine or ten offers on the go at any time. From extra spins in the Tombola Arcade to links games and boosted jackpots. There is always a little something extra available.
And don’t ever worry about missing out. Tombola is excellent at customer communication and will regularly drop you a text or an email to let you know when the big jackpots are up for grabs.
Tombola Bingo App
The Tombola App is very swish. Not only can you download it for your Apple or Android device – you can even download it on your Kindle! All your favourite bingo games have been optimised for your phone or tablet and you can still add or withdraw funds from your account. It’s easy to log-in to and you will still benefit from the promotions, fun quizzes and chances to win enhanced prizes.
Basically, it’s all the fun of Tombola from the comfort of your couch!
A lot of people also ask about their Tombola Bingo login. This is very simple. Go to the website, look in the top right-hand corner and click ‘login’. You will then need to input the username or email address and the password that you used to open your Tombola account. And that’s it. You are free to start playing all of your fav online bingo games.
Tombola is a really fun site to play on. There is a huge range of games available 24hrs a day with very friendly chat room hosts and great prizes on offer. The site is easy to navigate around and the customer service is excellent. It’s well worth going to the site to have a look around and see if it’s right for you!
Wayne's tombola Review
I absolutely love tombola, and if you haven't tried it yet I recommend you click on the link above and check them out. They're my #1 pick on my Best Bingo Sites page and I can't speak highly enough of them.
They are 'Britain's Biggest Bingo Site' for a reason, and for me their popularity comes down to four things:
- Unique Games
- Great Community
- Safe Play
- Low Cost
Unique Games
Right from the start, tombola decided to differentiate themselves from the crowd by building all their own bingo games in-house. This means that every single game in tombola is 100% unique.
Unlike other bingo software providers, tombola's games are designed in a minimalist fashion, with the focus on bingo and chat. You don't get loads of annoying side-games thrown in your face, and particularly since mobile bingo took off they've managed the move to mobile-first better than anyone. There are loads of truly imaginative bingo variants, most of which simply you can't play anywhere else. Plus, they're adding new games all the time.
Here is the current roster of available games:
- Bingo90
- Bingo80
- Bingo75
- Bingo60
- Bingo50
- BingoLite
- Hamster Race
- Tombola Roulette
Great community
I'm not one for getting too involved in the chat, but at tombola you can see that the players and chat hosts here do have a great bond going on. The chat hosts are all UK based (Sunderland area) and the ethos is all about getting more people engaged in the community, rather than getting more money out to them. The hosts are allowed to give away £1 bonuses regularly on chat games. I even won £2 the other day in a quick quiz the host did, after which I discovered that's the limit you can win in one week!
It helps that the chat window in tombola's rooms gets a lot of real estate. It usually takes up half the window if you're playing on desktop, and if you're on mobile it's probably the best experience of chatting and playing bingo at the same time. Something many other bingo softwares struggle with getting right.
When there is no game in play, the chat on mobile expands to full screen, but once a game begins, it shrinks but just enough so you can see your best ticket at the top. It still leaves you with a large enough chat area so that when you're typing (and your keyboard pops up) you can still follow the game and the chat. It sounds a simple thing, but too many other sites have got this horribly wrong and it puts you off chatting completely at some brands.
The on-site community is backed up by an active social media presence on Facebook, Instagram & Twitter. They are all definitely worth a follow as they'll keep you informed of the latest promotions as well as running all sorts of fun competitions to win merch and other tombola prizes.
They're quick to respond to any questions, and you can contact them via social, live help, freephone, email and snail mail.

Safe play
Tombola were a pioneer when it comes to all things responsible gambling, having developed loads of safe play tools years before they became the norm (and enforced on sites by the UK Gambling Commission).
I'm not sure if they still do this, but I remember they once gave me a £1 bonus just for setting a weekly deposit limit. That kind of thing was absolutely unheard of in this industry. I've been to tombola's HQ in Sunderland and spoken to the people there, and I was impressed by how the staff were not incentivised to increase player's spend.
When you first sign-up, your weekly deposit limit is set to a default of £250 per week, which is locked for 24 hours. After this period you can go in and change it to whatever works best for you. The maximum the site will allow to be spent in one week is £500. Plus, if your balance is ever over £250 they will not allow further deposits to be made.
Other safeplay tools at your disposal are:
- Stake limits - set limits for individual games.
- Timekeeper - alerts you to how much time you've spent on the site.
- Game Freeze - stops you from playing a specific game for 24 hours.
- Cooling Off - self exclude for up to 5 months.
- Self Exclusion - self exclude 6+ months or permanently.
Low Cost
Perhaps the biggest reason for tombola's success has been their strategy of keeping ticket prices low while maintaining the ability to win decent sized prizes. Across the board there is a limit of £2 on every single game, and they have games that play for as little as 1p.

What this means is whatever your budget you can find a place to play, and play there for hours. It also means that every room has the potential to be a fair-and-square room, so you know you're not at a disadvantage compared to some sites where a player with deeper pockets than you might be maxing out on every game to increase their chances to win.
