tombola Sister Sites editorialChecked: 12 October 2026

Each tombola bingo game has its own ticket price, prizes and jackpot rule, and all of them are played from the same account. Tickets run from 1p in Paper to £2 a game in eight of the twelve games below, bingo90 and Pulse among them.

Prices and top jackpots are from tombola’s games list, read on the check date above, which carries more games than these twelve. Prices change, so look at a game’s How to play panel before you buy.

Games list

Twelve games are covered here, not the whole list. The same page also carries bingo60, bingo40, bingo30, Picture Bingo, Potion, Bloom, The Machine and bingoLive, and free games are on the offers and free games page. A game isn’t one room, either: bingo90’s seven clubs each have at least two chat rooms.

Can you play them elsewhere? tombola’s about page says all its bingo games are created at its Sunderland HQ and that most are exclusive to its players. Not all: tombola’s bingo product also runs inside Sisal’s app and website in Italy, under the Sisal brand, iGaming Business reported in July 2025. The bingo90 page adds that its jackpots are exclusive to tombola, so only tombola players win them.

How are bingo prizes set and shared?

By the tickets in play. Apart from jackpots and promotional guarantees, the bingo90 page says prize amounts depend on how many players take part, how many tickets are in play and the ticket price chosen.

Do tickets bought with bonus money count towards the pot?

No. The Standard Promotional Terms say bonus-money tickets add nothing to a game’s prize pool, so if you’re the only player, on bonus money, there may be no game prize at all, though the jackpot still counts.

What happens on a tie?

Line and Full House prizes won at the same time are shared. Jackpots aren’t: tombola’s jackpot guide says each player who wins one at the same time receives the full amount, and in Pulse each winner’s jackpot follows what they staked. Some games cap what a win can pay, whatever your stake (General Terms 9.5).

How do the jackpots work?

A jackpot is an extra prize for finishing within a set number of calls. tombola’s jackpot guide says all its bingo jackpots are either fixed or progressive, and never shared.

Fixed
The same amount every game. bingo80 pays £500 for a Full House in 45 calls or fewer, and the guide says it can go in back-to-back games.
Progressive
It grows every game until someone wins it. bingo90’s starts at £500 and resets there; the guide puts the biggest bingo90 jackpot to date at over £35,000, and the game page an average of 3 bingo90 jackpots a day.
Two-tier fixed
A multiple of your stake, bigger for a faster finish. Pulse and Stakeback pay 10,000 or 1,000 times the stake, so their £20,000 headline needs a £2 ticket.

Worked example (arithmetic from tombola’s published multiples, not a tested game)

Pulse: clear your numbers within 16 calls and the guide pays 10,000 times the stake. At 10p that’s 10,000 × 10p = £1,000; at £2, 10,000 × £2 = £20,000, the game’s stated top prize. Finish within 16 to 19 calls instead and it’s 1,000 times: £100 at 10p, £2,000 at £2.

One catch with Pulse. The guide’s two ranges share the 16th call (within 16 calls for the top tier, within 16-19 calls for the lower one), and the game page runs them together as a jackpot for clearing in 16 or 19 calls. Both pages still read that way on the check date, so neither says which tier a finish on exactly the 16th call pays; ask tombola before relying on it.

bingo90’s jackpot is printed two ways as well. The jackpot and Link game guides pay it for a Full House in 40 calls or less; the bingo90 game page’s own steps say a Full House in under 40 calls. The two disagree on a finish on exactly the 40th call.

Is tombola bingo fair, and what if your connection drops?

A random number generator decides the results, and the promotion rules say every game is independently tested and certified in line with the Remote Technical Standards; the bingo90 page adds that every ticket has the same chance to win. Early access to a new game, which tombola gives some players by email, changes when you can play, not your chances, the same rules say.

If your connection drops mid-game, General Terms 10.10 says that for every tombola bingo game, once tombola has your play and you can no longer influence the outcome, the result stands and any winnings are paid into your account.

Sources: promotion rulesbingo90General Terms.

How do tombola’s chat rooms work?

Every bingo game has at least one chat room, the about page says, and its Chat Hosts are mostly based around the north east of England. The jackpot guide describes the rooms as moderated around the clock, and adds that you can chat or play chat games without staking. When a host runs a quiz, the promotion rules pay the chosen winner £1 of bonus money (sometimes £2 or £5), at most twice a day. Abusive behaviour in chat is a prohibited activity under the General Terms.

The games list also marks arcade slots offered through its Game in Game feature, one of them only there. tombola’s 2025 guide describes the feature as arcade games played while you wait in a bingo room: an arcade stake on top of your bingo tickets.

Why do small stakes still add up?

1p tickets are one of the list’s selling points. The other side is speed and volume: Pulse games start every few seconds, Bulk Buy commits up to ten games in one payment, and Game in Game adds an arcade stake while you wait. tombola’s jackpot guide points to daily, weekly or monthly Spend Limits (lowering one is instant, raising one waits 24 hours) and to a Stake Limit per game. Set them before you play (see the safer gambling page). If sessions start running long, 0808 8020 133 reaches GamCare’s National Gambling Helpline at no cost.
