How does online bingo work?
Our online bingo games work just like the traditional games you’ll be familiar with. The key difference is that tombola games are powered by a Random Number Generator, which acts as the bingo caller. This means that all our bingo games are fair.
You can get started with online bingo in just a few steps:
- Choose which game you want to play and select the ticket price, plus the number of tickets you'd like to buy. Some games are fixed to one ticket at one stake price, while others give you more flexibility.
- Wait for the bingo calls to start. All our games have a how to play section that you can read while you wait for the game to start. If you have any questions, you can ask for help in the accompanying chat room.
- When the game starts, the caller will announce the numbers and you’ll mark your ticket – or set your tickets to auto mark and watch the game play out. Why not join our extra chat room games too?
The first player to mark all the numbers wins the game. This is known as winning a Full House. Along the way, there may be extra prizes for marking off one or two whole lines of numbers. These prizes vary depending on which game you're playing.
Can I play on my phone?
Yes! If you've been wondering how to play online bingo games on your mobile phone, you'll be pleased to hear that the answer is simple. Just download our tombola app for iOS or Android and play bingo wherever, whenever!
What happens if I miss a call?
When you play online bingo with tombola, you’ll never miss a number because you can set your online tickets up to mark themselves! Even if you don’t use our auto dabber, we’ll always tell you if you’ve missed a number and won a prize.
