Tombola Bingo Review

Tombola Bingo calls itself “Britain’s biggest bingo site”. I’m not sure how true that is, but it’s certainly an established brand, so I have no reason to dispute it. It would be a different story if I hadn’t heard of the brand before conducting this review, as the site looks a little dated and doesn’t have the high-quality feel that you get from competing sites like Foxy Bingo and Wink Bingo. But I suppose it’s what’s on the inside that counts.

In the following Tombola Bingo review, I’ll strip away the horrible turquoise, white, and yellow curtain and see what lies beneath.

Welcome Promotions

Tombola Bingo’s welcome bonus offers a 100% boost when you deposit at least £10. This means that £10 will get you £10 in bonus credits (for a total of £20) and £25 will give you £25 in credits (for a total of £50). 

It’s a generous bonus, and the benefits extend to the terms, as well. The bonus funds can be used on most of the site’s games, with the exception of Tombola Roulette and Hamster Race, and you get to keep what you win.

You can’t withdraw any of the bonus funds and your real money balance will be used before your bonus credits.

If you’re new to online bingo or don’t have a big budget, look for Free Form bingo games. These run every day and give you a shot at prizes of up to £5,000. They are completely free to play and all players are invited to participate.

Other Bingo Bonuses

Tombola Bingo has lots of regular promotions. There are leaderboard promotions, events, giveaways, free bingo tickets, and more. The bonuses are constantly changing, but here’s a quick rundown of the latest offers to give you an idea of what to expect:

• Two Line Tuesdays: An additional prize is added to all 2-line payouts on Tuesdays.
• Guaranteed Prizes: Bingo games that offer guaranteed prizes (usually between £500 and £10,000) regardless of player numbers. These are available every single day.
• Playmates: A refer-a-friend program that gives you prizes when you invite friends and they win. Invite your friends along for the ride and they’ll collect their own bonus while also giving you a few credits.
• Social Media Competitions: Chances to win money, vouchers, and more when you participate in social media competitions. It’s another way to get players talking with one another and to ensure they stay connected.

The Tombola community also throws up some interesting bonuses and events, Not only can you meet some like-minded players and make those long bingo games less lonely, but you can also join in with pub quizzes, karaoke, and tournaments. The community is one of the best features of Tombola Bingo.

Bingo Games

Many bingo sites use third-party games. There are also those that operate large networks and post the same games across numerous sister sites. Tombola Bingo doesn’t do any of that. All of the bingo games you’ll find here are unique.

Needless to say, there are a lot of games that look similar to what you’re used to, but there are enough unique features to make them interesting.

Tickets are available from as little as 1 pence and there are prizes worth up to £25,000. You’ll find variations of 75-ball, 90-ball, and more. There are also some specialty games like Bingo Roulette.

I would have liked to see more games based on classic gameshows, as they are the games that draw my eye more than any other. But while there are no variations of Deal or No Deal or Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? here, there are over a dozen top games.

If you’re looking for a bingo site that also has lots of slot games, this isn’t it. Tombola Bingo has a separate site for all of that, but you’ll need to create a new account and go through the signup process again if you want to play there.

Deposits, Withdrawals, and Customer Support

Tombola Bingo is based in Sunderland and its customer support staff are all based in the northeast. They are helpful, quick to respond, and available through chat rooms, live chat, and email. You can also call them at 0800 29 888 73.

The site accepts a handful of different payment options, but this doesn’t include PayPal, at least not for new members. Withdrawals are fast and fees aren’t charged, but the absence of PayPal will be a dealbreaker for some players.

Verdict: Tombola Bingo Review

Many bingo sites struggle with the community aspect and offer little more than chat rooms filled with people telling you how many numbers they need. Tombola Bingo actually creates the friendly and active community that every site strives for. If that’s what you’re into, it’s worth checking out.

Even if you’re an antisocial introvert much like myself, there are still enough games and bonuses here to keep you interested. Withdrawals are also fast, and it helps to have a good customer support team on hand if you need them.

All things considered; Tombola Bingo is an exceptional bingo site. It has its flaws, but it’s definitely one of the best sites out there and deserves to be one of the country’s biggest.
