What is Pre-Buy?
Pre-Buy is a feature that means you can now buy into selected promotional games in advance. You can access the purchase area for these games via our Promotions page, in-game menus, website advertisements and specific links if you are opted in to receive marketing communications from us.
Making a Pre-Buy purchase
When you select the promotion you would like to pre-buy tickets for, you will be shown a list of all games in that promotion. You can choose to select all games at the same stake, or alternatively you can choose to select different stakes for different games. Please note, not all games need to be selected and games do not have to be purchased in running order. This means you can select games 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, or games 1, 3 and 5.
When you have selected the games you would like to Pre-Buy tickets for, you will see a total purchase price before you choose to confirm. Once a Pre-Buy purchase has been confirmed it cannot be cancelled.
Upgrading your stake after a Pre-Buy purchase has been confirmed
You can upgrade the stake in your Pre-Buy games after purchase. Simply re-visit the promotion from the Promotions page or in-game menu, and increase your stake in the promotional game(s) as required.
You will see a total purchase price before you confirm your stake upgrade.
How will Pre-Buy games play out?
Your Pre-Buy games will play in the same way as our other games. You do not need to be logged in to tombola in order for the games to play, and any winnings will be credited to your account as normal.
Please note, if you have an existing Bulk Buy purchase (please see Bulk Buy Terms and Conditions for full information) and you make a Pre-Buy purchase for a promotion that runs during your Bulk Buy, the Pre-Buy purchase will interrupt the order in which your Bulk Buy games will play. Games purchased as part of a Bulk Buy will play out one after the other, with the exception of when pre-purchased tickets exist. In this instance, any games that form part of your Bulk Buy purchase will play in order up to the start of the pre-purchased promotional game(s). At that point the pre-purchased promotion game(s) will play and, once they are complete, the games remaining in your Bulk Buy purchase will resume.
How will your Pre-Buy purchase show in your Transaction History?
When you make a Pre-Buy purchase you will see the total cost in your Transaction History at the time of the purchase.
What if I Pre-Buy tickets and the promotion is cancelled or the time is changed?
If you Pre-Buy tickets and the associated promotion is cancelled or the time is changed, then your Pre-Buy purchase will be cancelled and you will be refunded.
Malfunction
A malfunction of the game server during play voids all pays and plays, but such a malfunction after the game has finished will result in the prizes being honoured in line with the output of the game server. See standard terms and conditions for full information.
tombola reserves the right, acting reasonably, to change, suspend or cancel a promotion at any time due to a third party’s illegal activity, technical difficulties and/or any other reasons beyond our control
Game Freeze
If you make a Pre-Buy purchase and subsequently choose to put that game on to a Game Freeze, the Pre-Buy purchase will remain valid and will not be cancelled or refunded. The games will play out and any winnings will be credited to your account as normal.
Self Exclusion, Cooling Off and Disabled Accounts
If your account is disabled by us or you enter a period of self-exclusion and you have an existing Pre-Buy purchase, this will not be cancelled and refunded. The games will play out and any winnings will be sent to you in the form of a cheque. If you are in a cooling off period the same applies but winnings will remain in your account until the cool off period is complete.

Playmate Prizes
When the referred customer wins a prize equal to or greater than £20 on bingo or equal to or greater than £100 on arcade, they will also win an additional Playmate bonus money prize that automatically transfers to the referring customer’s account as a thank you for introducing them to tombola.
Ongoing prizes are earned from each eligible player that named the player as a Playmate.
Ongoing prizes are applicable for 365 days / 12 months from the start of the Playmates relationship and will expire after this period. The relationship starts from the first time the referred player enters either the referrer's username or free fiver referral code into the available option.
Prizes won in free to play games and Tombola Roulette are not eligible for Playmates ongoing prizes.
Bingo:
Every time the referee wins £20 or more on any prize, the referrer wins a £2 Playmates bonus money prize.
Arcade:
Every time the referee wins £100 or more, the referrer wins a £2 Playmates bonus money prize.

What else do I need to know?
By referring customers under this promotion both you and any referred customer agree to data regarding your betting activity being disclosed by tombola to each other as appropriate for the purpose of the promotion only. You must notify any referred customer that data will be shared in this way before they open an account using your code.
Amends to Playmates terms and conditions
We reserve the right to revise or amend these promotions at any time. We will notify you of any significant changes using an appropriate method of communication prior to the change coming in effect. The next time you log in to your tombola account after a significant change, you will be asked to agree to the new Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree to be bound by the changes to the Terms and Conditions, then you should exit the sites.
Bonus money terms and conditions
Bonus money and Free play prizes will be credited to your tombola account and cannot be withdrawn. Cash balance is always staked before bonus money. If you chose to withdraw before you have staked all your bonus funds, you will forfeit your bonus money.
You can use bonus money to play our games on both bingo and arcade, except tombola Roulette. If you have not deposited funds into your tombola account, you will be unable to play our free game with bonus money.
If your account is suspended, you will not receive bonus funds.
Free Plays will be credited to your account and cannot be withdrawn. For any bet placed, funds are deducted from the player’s Free Plays balance. If no Free Plays are available, then the wager is deducted from their cash or bonus balance. Therefore, Free Plays are played before Cash, and Cash is played before Bonus Balance. You can use Free Plays on any arcade game. If your account is suspended you will not receive Free Plays. Free Plays have a 7 day expiry.

In the event that, as part of a promotional campaign or competition, we credit an amount to an account registered in your name, we reserve the right to reclaim any such unused amounts in the event that you fail to access or use that account during any period of six months. Irrespective of where players live in the world, tombola endeavours to deliver all promotional prizes and prizes that have been won to the prize winner's registered address destination or requested address. tombola reserves the right to offer an alternative prize of similar value (including a financial consideration) if it is either impractical or illegal to deliver the relevant prize to the player's relevant country.

tombola will specify if 'travel costs' are included in a location-specific promotional prize. If not specified as included, a winner must pay his or her own costs to the destination. tombola reserves the right to offer an alternative prize of similar value (including a financial consideration) if it is impractical for the player to travel to a location-based prize.
