tombola

tombola, work somewhere that’s full of fun, purpose, and people-first thinking

We’re the UK’s biggest bingo site and home to the largest online bingo community around. But we’re more than just bingo. We’re tech, creativity, player experience, safety, and innovation all rolled into one.

It all started back in 2006 on Sunderland’s quayside with a small team and some big ideas. Fast forward to today and there are 750+ of us across seven countries, but we’ve never lost that close-knit, collaborative feel. We keep things human, down to earth, and full of energy.

We do everything in house, from game design and marketing to customer support, so if you’ve got ideas, there’s space to make them happen. Our games are one of a kind, our approach is seriously responsible, and our culture? Proudly people first.

We work hard, move fast, and always aim to do the right thing for our players and for each other. And yep, we have plenty of fun along the way.

If you’re looking for a place where you can be yourself, feel supported, and help shape what’s next, we think you’ll love it here.

Our Values!

Our values aren’t just posters on the wall, they’re how we work, how we treat each other, and what makes tombola feel like tombola.

Player first. Always. Everything starts with them, but we care just as much about each other.
Ahead of the game. We’re curious, creative, and always up for doing things better.
Free to be me. There’s no one way to be here. Bring your whole self, that’s what makes us stronger.
Win together. We’ve got a one team mindset. We back each other, learn together, and share the wins.

And we don’t just talk about opportunity, we back it. Were are proud to say in the first half of this year, 10.2% of our team have been promoted or moved into a new role internally. When we say we invest in our people, we mean it.

Approach to inclusion

Our Inclusion and Wellbeing Strategy

At tombola, inclusion and wellbeing are part of who we are. Our value Free to be me drives us to create a culture where everyone feels safe, supported, and free to be their true selves.

We want tombola to be a place where everyone feels they belong, can thrive, and knows they’re valued.

We’re focusing on four key pillars to make this real:

Belonging, feeling valued, thriving at work, and building a diverse workplace.

Here’s how we’re making it happen today:

Leadership-led. Inclusion and Wellbeing is championed at the highest level, ensuring it stays front and centre in our business decisions and culture. This top-level support helps drive real change across tombola.
Open Inclusion Chats. These regular sessions provide a safe, welcoming space for honest, meaningful conversations. People can share experiences and learn about important topics like gender, race, disability, and more — helping us all grow and understand each other better.
Active Staff Networks. Our staff networks create valuable communities where people with shared experiences can connect, support each other, and help shape a more inclusive workplace. We’re also exploring new groups to ensure more voices are heard across tombola.

We’re proud of the progress so far — and excited about the journey ahead.

Flexible working at tombola

We want to be the best place you'll ever work. Where you feel like you belong and where you're valued for your contribution.

We offer flexibility in lots of different ways. It’s a myth that flexibility is just working from home, it’s about our ways of working, and the give and take between you and the business. We’re committed to being more transparent about how we approach ways of working as a business by having a set of Flexibility Principles:

1. You can talk to your manager about your approach to flexibility. Having localised ways of working can mean that you have an even better experience working at tombola

2. You should have ways of working that, well... work for you. And we’re ok with it, because a one size fits all approach to ways of working doesn’t work. If the same approach was applied across all divisions, it wouldn’t be possible to considering your individual needs. So, you might see localised approaches to flexibility for you and your teams.

3. We should always consider what flexibility we can offer when hiring into the business. We’ll strive to find talented people to join tombola without being restricted by our ways of working.

There are different flexible working arrangements across different teams. Some teams have shift pattern arrangements.
