tombola arcade is the slots and instant-win brand of tombola, operated by Tombola (International) plc under UK Gambling Commission account 38613 alongside tombola's bingo site, and every game in its lobby is built in-house rather than licensed from a games studio.
The short answer
There are 10 tombola arcade sister sites: Sky Vegas, Sky Casino, Sky Bingo, Sky Bet, Sky Poker, Paddy Power, Betfair, PokerStars, PokerStars Casino and tombola. All 10 of these tombola arcade Casino sister sites, and tombola arcade itself, are operated by Flutter Entertainment plc, across 5 separate licensees.
Compare all 10Pros
- Every game is built in-house, so the catalogue exists nowhere else — the only lobby reviewed on this site with no third-party studio in it
- States its welcome offer in plain numbers on the page a new player lands on, which its sibling tombola does not
- Footnotes its own headline statistic with the measurement window — "Data from 12/25 - 03/26" — and an advertising-verification address
Cons
- Publishes no game total, no RTP figures and no demo play — an exclusive catalogue you cannot size up before joining
- The welcome offer's free spins are never quantified, and "no complicated wagering requirements" is a claim rather than a published figure
- Unreadable from outside Great Britain: HTTP 451 on the domain, as on tombola.co.uk

tombola arcade sister sites — the full network
Flutter Entertainment plc (UK Gambling Commission account 39426) runs 11 brands, tombola arcade included, and every one is reviewed here.
The orbit is drawn broken because these brands do not share one licence. Flutter Entertainment plc sits behind 5 separate licences held by different companies — see Who actually holds the licence below.

Where a sister site beats tombola arcade
Sky Casino — Welcome bonus fairness
100 free spins for a £10 deposit and stake, with no wagering on the winnings — observed on its own homepage, 8 Aug 2026. It is the best welcome term we found anywhere in this network, and it costs the same £10 as Sky Vegas's 50 wagered spins.
Betfair — Responsible-gambling prominence
Betfair is the only brand in this network whose casino homepage leads with safer-gambling tools rather than a bonus, publishing UK and Irish helpline numbers above the fold instead of below it.
tombola — Transparency of what you can actually win
tombola publishes a live bingo90 jackpot and a live player count on its own homepage, and dates its £13m-a-day claim to a specific quarter with a verification email address. Nothing else here shows its working like that.
Sky Bingo — Stake accessibility
Bingo rooms observed with ticket prices from £0.01, and running jackpots and player counts printed on each room tile before you register or deposit.

About tombola arcade
tombola arcade is operated by Tombola (International) plc on UK Gambling Commission account 38613, the same licence as tombola's bingo site, and the register lists both www.tombolaarcade.co.uk and www.tombolaarcade.com against it alongside the two tombola domains. It is the slots and instant-win half of the same business rather than a separate company's brand, which is why it sits at a much higher clone score against tombola than any other pairing in this network.
It had to be read through a GB render. tombolaarcade.co.uk answers HTTP 451 to a request from outside Great Britain with a page headed "You have been blocked | tombola", and so does tombola.co.uk — which did answer when that brand was reviewed in August 2026. The operator has tightened its geo-handling across both domains since.
The single fact that distinguishes this brand from everything else reviewed on this site is in its own About page: "All our games are built in-house so you won't find them anywhere else online." Every other casino and bingo brand here runs a lobby assembled from the same handful of studios — Pragmatic Play, Play'n GO, Evolution, Blueprint — and the overlap between them is usually the strongest evidence that two sites are siblings. Here there is nothing to overlap with. The games are tombola's own, and the only place to play them is tombola.
That is a real trade and the page is honest about which side it is on. The catalogue is exclusive and it is also small and unquantified: no game total is published, no RTP appears on the tiles, and no demo play is advertised. What replaces breadth is a competitive layer — Prize League, described as "our slots tournament where there's daily chances to win cash prizes" — and a leaderboard the copy keeps returning to.
The welcome offer is the clearest in this network, which is not a high bar but is worth saying. The site states it in plain words: "Join today, and we'll double your deposit up to £50 and throw in some FREE spins", adding "No complicated wagering requirements here" and "Proper wins, no strings". Its sibling tombola headlines no offer value at all. The gap is that the spins are never quantified and the conditions live behind a separate promotion-rules link, so the headline is readable and the detail is not.
The claim the brand leads with is "13 winners every second", repeated on the homepage and the About page, and it is footnoted properly: the page carries "Data from 12/25 - 03/26" and an advertising-verification address, adverification@tombola.com. Publishing the window the statistic was measured over, and a route to check it, is more than most operators do with a number of that kind.
Withdrawals get an unusual amount of page space and a straight answer. The FAQ asks "Will all my withdrawals be instant?" and answers "That's the plan. Every now and then, we might need to carry out a few extra checks, which can slow things down a little. If that happens, we'll keep you in the loop." It also says plainly that debit-card withdrawals land quickest and that PayPal and bank transfer "can take much longer" — a brand telling a player which of its own payment methods is slower.
The licensing and governance are the strongest in this pass. Tombola (International) plc is a Flutter company, the account has run since before Flutter's acquisition, the footer links the Gibraltar government alongside the Gambling Commission, GAMSTOP, GamCare, BeGambleAware and IBAS, and the site carries a copyright line running 2005 to 2026. Support is a phone number — 0800 464 3411 — and a live chat on tombola's shared support domain, which is more contactable than most. The site runs on Umbraco rather than a casino platform, which fits a company that writes its own games.

Scored well above its sibling tombola, which headlines no offer at all and sells "over £13 million is won every day" instead. Held short of the top because the spins are not quantified anywhere on the page and the actual conditions sit behind a separate /promotion-rules#welcome-offer link, so "no complicated wagering requirements" is a claim a reader has to go and check rather than a figure they can read.

Every game at tombola arcade is built by the operator, which makes this the only lobby reviewed on this site containing no third-party games studio. The About page states it twice: "We make everything in-house, so you'll be playing games you won't find anywhere else" and "All our games are built in-house so you won't find them anywhere else online." No Pragmatic Play, Play'n GO, Evolution or Blueprint title appears anywhere on the site. The consequence is that the usual sister-site evidence of a shared lobby cannot exist here, and that no independent RTP benchmark exists for any title, because the same game is not sold anywhere else. No game total, no RTP figures and no demo mode are published.

tombola arcade footnotes its own headline statistic, which almost no operator reviewed on this site does. The homepage and About page both lead with "13 winners every second", and the page carries the measurement window and a verification route beside it: "Data from 12/25 - 03/26. For verification: adverification@tombola.com". Publishing the period a marketing number was measured over, and an address to challenge it at, is a materially higher standard of substantiation than the unsourced totals most brands print.

tombola arcade pros and cons
Pros
- Every game is built in-house, so the catalogue exists nowhere else — the only lobby reviewed on this site with no third-party studio in it
- States its welcome offer in plain numbers on the page a new player lands on, which its sibling tombola does not
- Footnotes its own headline statistic with the measurement window — "Data from 12/25 - 03/26" — and an advertising-verification address
- Answers the instant-withdrawal question honestly, including which of its own payment methods are slower
- Publishes a freephone support number as well as live chat
- Licensing is fully disclosed: UKGC account 38613, the Gibraltar government, GAMSTOP, GamCare, BeGambleAware and IBAS all linked
Cons
- Publishes no game total, no RTP figures and no demo play — an exclusive catalogue you cannot size up before joining
- The welcome offer's free spins are never quantified, and "no complicated wagering requirements" is a claim rather than a published figure
- Unreadable from outside Great Britain: HTTP 451 on the domain, as on tombola.co.uk
- In-house games mean no independently recognised titles and no third-party RTP benchmark to compare against
- The offer conditions sit behind a separate promotion-rules link rather than on the page carrying the offer
What tombola arcade lacks
- Any third-party games studio
- A published game count, RTP figures or demo play
- A quantified free-spins element in the welcome offer
- A live casino or a sportsbook
- Visibility from outside Great Britain
Common complaints about tombola arcade
An exclusive catalogue you cannot measure
commonBuilding every game in-house is this brand's strongest claim and its biggest blind spot. There is no published game count, no RTP on the tiles and no demo mode, and because the titles exist nowhere else there is no third-party benchmark to compare them against either. A player cannot size up the lobby before joining, and cannot check a return figure against the same game elsewhere, because there is no elsewhere.
tombola arcade homepage and About page, GB render 9 November 2026
A clear headline offer with the conditions somewhere else
common"Join today, and we'll double your deposit up to £50 and throw in some FREE spins" is clearer than anything its sibling tombola publishes, and "No complicated wagering requirements here" is a strong claim. Neither is quantified on the page. The number of spins, the expiry, the minimum deposit and what the wagering actually is all sit behind a separate /promotion-rules#welcome-offer link, so the part a player can read is the part that sells and the part they have to go and find is the part that binds.

Nothing here is checkable from outside Britain
occasionaltombolaarcade.co.uk returns HTTP 451 to any non-GB request, serving a page headed "You have been blocked | tombola". So does tombola.co.uk, which answered when that brand was reviewed in August 2026. This is correct behaviour for a GB-only licence rather than a criticism — but it means a reader outside Britain cannot verify a single claim on this page, and it is why this review was rendered from a GB exit rather than fetched.

tombola arcade Sister Sites — the verdict
The most genuinely differentiated brand in this network, and the argument for it is one sentence from its own About page: every game is built in-house, so you will not find them anywhere else. Every other casino reviewed on this site assembles the same studios' games behind different paint; this one does not, which makes the usual sister-site comparison almost meaningless here. It also states its welcome offer in plain numbers — deposit doubled to £50 plus spins — where tombola, on the same licence, headlines nothing at all. The cost of exclusivity is that you cannot measure what you are getting: no game count, no RTP, no demo, and no other site to compare a title against. Take it for the Prize League and the games you cannot get elsewhere, not for a lobby you can size up in advance.
Network fingerprint for the 10 tombola arcade Casino sister sites: confirmed, 80/100.
tombola arcade sister sites — FAQ
Who owns tombola arcade?
tombola arcade is operated by Tombola (International) Plc under UK Gambling Commission account 38613, and that company is part of Flutter Entertainment plc. The register shows 14 casino brands across Flutter's five separate UKGC licensees, of which 11 are reviewed here — so tombola arcade shares an owner with the others, and a licence only with tombola.
How many tombola arcade sister sites are there?
Nine. The tombola arcade sister sites are Sky Vegas, Sky Casino, Sky Bingo, Sky Poker, Sky Bet, Paddy Power, Betfair, PokerStars, PokerStars Casino and tombola, minus tombola arcade itself. Every one is UKGC-licensed and every one is verified against the regulator's public register, not copied from another affiliate site.
Do tombola arcade sister sites share the same licence?
No, and this is where most pages get it wrong. Flutter's UK estate sits on five separate UKGC accounts: 39426 (Paddy Power, Betfair), 65519 (Sky Vegas, Sky Casino, Sky Bingo, Sky Poker), 67370 (Sky Bet), 39108 (PokerStars, PokerStars Casino) and 38613 (tombola). tombola arcade is on account 38613. They share an owner, not a licence.
Does self-exclusion at tombola arcade cover the sister sites?
Yes. Every licensee in this network holds a UK Gambling Commission licence, and GamStop integration is a condition of that licence. Registering with GamStop blocks all ten brands regardless of which of the five licensees they sit under. Self-exclusion runs its full chosen term — six months minimum — and cannot be lifted early.
Is tombola arcade the same as tombola?
Same company, same licence, different product. Both are operated by Tombola (International) plc on UK Gambling Commission account 38613, and the register lists tombola.co.uk, tombola.com, tombolaarcade.co.uk and tombolaarcade.com against it. tombola is the bingo site; tombola arcade is the slots and instant-win site. The arcade's own pages link across to tombola for the group's awards, and support runs through the shared support.tombola.com domain.
Who makes tombola arcade's games?
tombola does. The About page states it twice: "We make everything in-house, so you'll be playing games you won't find anywhere else" and "All our games are built in-house so you won't find them anywhere else online." That makes this the only lobby reviewed on this site with no third-party studio in it — no Pragmatic Play, no Play'n GO, no Evolution. The trade-off is that there is no independent RTP benchmark for any of the titles, because the same game is not available anywhere else to compare against.
What is tombola arcade's welcome offer?
The site states it as: "Join today, and we'll double your deposit up to £50 and throw in some FREE spins", alongside "No complicated wagering requirements here". So a 100% deposit match capped at £50 plus an unspecified number of free spins. What the page does not give is the number of spins, the minimum deposit, the expiry or any wagering figure — those sit behind a separate promotion-rules link, and are worth reading before depositing precisely because the headline promises there are no strings.
