tombola is a technology company operating in the online gambling market. We came bouncing into the online bingo world in 2006, but our roots in bingo date way back to the 1800’s. We’ve grown rapidly over the years and entered the world of online slots in 2016 with tombola arcade. We’ve just embarked on a new chapter becoming part of Flutter entertainment, a FTSE100 company and the worlds biggest gaming company.
Staying true to our roots the tombola campus remains in Sunderland overlooking the River Wear and we invested in our international brands that help us take our Mackem business all around the world. We started in Italy, before venturing to Spain and beyond to Denmark and Sweden, along with our largest overseas office on The Rock of Gibraltar.
We’re completely unique in that all of our games are exclusive to us as they’re all designed, developed and managed in-house. We actively encourage our team to be involved from the ideas stage through to the live launch of a game and beyond. We innovate and we ask our people to push the boundaries of new technologies and give our customers the best experience possible.
We are built on a philosophy of taking a responsible approach, and putting the player first, always. We proactively engage with our customer community, ensuring our players are in control and receive great value for money. That’s really important to us. We encourage low-stake and aim to create a fun community that our players love.
