Any of you played Tombola bingo

[Savethewhales]

Has anyone ever won anything off of it?
spent a few hours playing the 50p bingo and didn't win a sausage! Just the same people winning again and again. With 299 people playing, the odds are still good you have a 289 chance of at least getting a line of the game, but nope after 3 hours nothing. Aibu to think it's a scam?

Gambling is a scam.

I've played on several online bingo sites and also real life bingo halls and you can absolutely go for ages without a win! It's just the luck of the draw.

Gambling is a scam.

It's not a scam, rather people go into it with unrealistic expectations.

You won't win OP.

Well, it's a gamble isn't it.

I've won over £100 in minutes on sites like that in the past. It's just luck.

You never win when you gamble. Your losses always exceed any wins you might get.

I've won the jackpot on Tombola slots a few times (I won 3 times in 2 weeks last year) and I've won a few times on the bingo. I'm very careful with what I spend though so am still quids up

It's gambling OP, not a scam. If you're looking to make money from it you're in the wrong place.

YABU expecting to win.

I've won with the free £5 you get for signing up. Over £100 on my account and £80ish on DHs.
Did do the triple your first pay in on both accounts and won a couple hundred again on both accounts but they were a few months from each other.
I've been doing the free games religiously every morning on both accounts, won a fiver June last year and nothing since. You can't take a fiver winnings out, so I just spent it on there again.
I don't put money in really as I haven't got it to lose. Just the original pay in deal. I've won more than I put it but then walked away.

It's a computer. You are gambling against an algorithm that controls whether you win or not of course you will not win or at least not until you've pumped enough money into it to cover a win and profit.

Online gambling is the worst possible way to gamble - it's like playing poker with someone who can see all the cards. It doesn't have the randomness of a physical casino, or the element of judgement that might be applied to betting on sports outcomes (alongside chance).

Online bingo - no judgement, no skill, no chance. Just a computer programmed to take your money.

Don't do online gambling. It's a mug's game.

Hiya I've been looking up tombola as I've started playing, anyway isn't this illegal? Surely there is a law against it all being fixed. I read that there are like gambling ombudsman peeps who make sure ?

Anyway my fella deposited 70 on tombola slots and won 1600.. so computer must be bust eh?

Quite why you have resurrected a three year old thread to share that news is beyond me.

I won £5,178 off a 50p bet on the hex game. I had the winning numbers within the 12 so had a £5000 jackpot bonus. I couldn't fucking believe it. I would of called Bullshit if I hadn't of won it myself.
