Online bingo payment methods
Wondering how to choose the best online bingo site? Not only is it important to find a site with the best bingo games, responsible gambling tools, and bingo community, but one that offers the best bingo payment methods too.
Which payment methods are available?
In April 2020 the UK Gambling Commission banned the use of credit cards for all online and offline gambling activities, except for lotteries. To ensure all loopholes are closed, this includes using credit cards via other payment methods such as ApplePay and PayPal.
At tombola, we’ve made it incredibly easy for you to add funds to your account. Debit cards are the most universally accepted online bingo payment method, and they are the only way new players can add funds at tombola. We accept a variety of different debit cards including Visa Debit, MasterCard Debit, and Maestro.
Existing players with a PayPal account already registered may continue to use it to deposit if they have used it within the past 6 months. Players who haven’t previously used PayPal, or those who have already switched from PayPal to Visa or MasterCard, are unable to use it as a bingo payment method.

How many payment methods can I have?
You can have a maximum of four payment methods registered on your tombola account, with one active payment method at any one time. All withdrawals will be processed to the payment method you last used to deposit.
To help you stay safe while playing online bingo, you can only deposit funds if you have less than £2 in your account. We have a minimum deposit of £10 and the maximum amount you can deposit per week at tombola is £500.
How do I add a new bingo payment method?
We’ve made it as easy as possible to add a new payment method, all you need to do is follow four simple steps.
- Go to My Account
- Click payment details
- Choose to add a new payment method
- Enter your details and hit save
Can I use someone else’s card to deposit money?
As part of our terms and conditions, all deposits must be made using a valid payment method registered in the name of the tombola account holder.
Which bingo deposit method is the safest?
Account security is one of the key things to look out for when choosing an online bingo site. Most bingo sites, like tombola, use encryption technology when processing payments to ensure your details are safe and secure.
It’s also worth looking out for the padlock icon in your browser when making an online transaction. This signifies that the connection to the website is encrypted using HTTPS and has an SSL/TLS certificate.
Are my details secure?
To ensure none of your personal or financial information can be accessed by a third party, tombola uses a technology called SSL encryption. This safeguards any personal data sent between two systems and is the same technology used in online banking.
Which online bingo payment methods are the quickest for withdrawals?
Not only do you want the online bingo payment method to be safe, but you want to be able to withdraw your winnings as quickly as possible too.
At tombola, we've always offered our players the fastest withdrawal process possible and we continue to make improvements so that our players can enjoy their winnings even quicker. Since our most recent changes, players now typically receive their winnings within just one hour when using Visa Debit.
