What are different types of bingo?

Ever since the first game was played in the late 1920s, bingo has continued to appeal to new generations of players. One of the main reasons it remains so popular is because of the way it has evolved over the years. New formats of the game continue to be introduced, including the most popular type today: online bingo.

How to play bingo responsibly

We're all about players having fun and enjoying themselves while playing online bingo but we advise everyone to understand the risks and learn how to play responsibly. We would advise all players to consider the following when playing any type of bingo game:

  • Only deposit and stake funds you can afford to lose.
  • Don't play online bingo to make money. It should be exciting and enjoyable when you do win, but don't use this as a source ofo funds.
  • If you've lost money already, don't try to get it back by risking more.
  • Limit your spend and time spent on bingo games to ensure you don't do something you regret.
  • If you feel like you need help with a gambling problem, or you know someone who does, reach out to people or organisations who can support you. GamCare is the UK's leading centre for gambling advice and practical help; they have advisers who can talk to you.

As well as our low-stakes games, we have a range of other features to help people stay safe while playing online bingo at tombola. safeplay is our way of supporting players in need of help and the dedicated safeplay team is available 24/7 for a chat via email, live help or over the phone.
