Advantages: Easy, Quick, Great Prizes Disadvantages: Low Chance of Winning
Tombola.com has been around as long as I've been using the internet. It's a game site where you play simple games for free and, if you're very lucky, you can win cash prizes of up to several thousands pounds. The games are quick and incredibly easy - no discernible brainpower required, in fact - and you can play each one once per day.
Some of the games change from time-to-time, but there are generally five to choose from. Playing them all will only ... ...are:
I:SCRATCH
As the name suggests, this game consists of an online scratch card. Scratch cards are themed, with scenarios like supermarket, office and fairground. Scratch off nine circular panels with your mouse, and if you reveal three matching pictures, you are a winner.
Prizes range from a £5 cd-wow voucher to a luverly £5,000.

Advantages: Free money, fast site, easy games Disadvantages: Offers from their sponsors (SPAM)
I've never been a lover of online competition sites, partly due to my pessimistic outlook, so I was very sceptical about joining Tombola until my friend won £50. Well I thought, if he can win then why can't I? So I signed up, played every day for about a month and won £10. That was over five months ago, but I keep going and I keep trying 'cos you never know, do you?
So what is Tombola all about then? Free money. That's right FREE MONEY FOR YOU (if ... ...very well laid out, with the navbar links on the left and the game loads on the right. That's what I find refreshing about this site. You play a little game, and you could win, and it only takes about a minute per game. Some sites I've been to insist that you play for over an hour and then you're put in a draw.
The games on Tombola change quite frequently and currently they are:

Advantages: It's free. Disadvantages: I haven't had a big win yet.
Tombola is a site where each day you can play a variety of games to win money. The number of games varies, at present you can play up to seven games . The games are all pure chance, mainly matching symbols or numbers, but the most important thing is that it is FREE to play.
Registration... This is very simple, all they require is your e-mail address, your age and your mothers maiden name. Unlike similar sites you are not required to fill out a lengthy ... ...each game once a day, I find it takes around 10 minutes to play them all.
I am also glad to report that registration with this site has not resulted in a load of unsolicited e-mail. I have only received the odd update from Tommy at Tombola when a new game or prize has become available.

UPDATE 28/02/2002 - This morning I received a cheque through the post for £20, proving that Tombola do give out cash to real people. I highly recommend the site!
Yes, we'd all love £5000. What would you spend it on? A holiday, or perhaps a new computer?

The games are easy scratch card type games, but don't be put off by how simple the games are - this could be the ticket to having all your dreams come true. There are usually five games ...

I found out about this site about a year ago, when you used to be able to collect Beenz off of it, and I have recently returned to try it out. I have been playing the games on Tombola for a couple of months now, and so I have decided to write an opinion on it:

Advantages: Fun and totally free with a free chance at the National Lottery. Disadvantages: This site only contains 4 games.
I first found Tombola.com after looking through an opinion on Ciao. I like things that are free with no catches and I found these qualities in Tombola.There are four different, and extremely addictable games available on Tombola where you can win cash prizes.To enter any of the tombola games all you have to do is leave your name and email address. Then you will be a member and able to play the games daily.

The theme of the scratch card is a treasure island type thing. You follow the dotted line round the map, scratching off every panal until you get to the end. If you reveal three matching pictures then you can win anything from £10,000 down to £10 depending on the three matching pictures that you get.

Yes, you too could win on this site. I have won twice, both times getting £50 from playing the scratchcard game.
The first time I won was about 7 months ago, and then I won again yesterday. After winning once I thought that the likelihood of winning again would be very slim, but I have heard of others that have won more than once, so if you use the site – KEEP PLAYING! And if you don’t yet play on this site – GO AND JOIN!

It is very simple to join, you need to give your email address and your home address details, so they can send you your prizes.

After a year and more than 100,000 lottery tickets bought, Tombola has announced this weekend the suspension of its Syndicates game. For those not in the know I offer a brief summary of the games at Tombola.
Tombola is a British site which offers a number of daily free entry games. Until 24th March one of the games offered was Syndicates.

Wins of 3 or 4 numbers were paid to a single player drawn at random, larger wins were shared equally by the 50 syndicate memebers.

There are currently three other games offered. Iscratch, Passport and Fetch.

Advantages: Easy to play, easy to understand games, cash prizes. Disadvantages: Occasional Java errors noted. They are rare though for me.
I discovered Tombola well over six months ago, and there has hardly been a day pass that I have not entered the games on there! At the moment you've got IScratch which is- no surprises- a scratch card, with various cash prizes available. Weekly jackpot is 5 grand. You need to match 4 to win. I am sad to say I have never won on here (or any of the other games I must add) but with the amount of people who must play, the chances are low, but stacks ... ...next game you can play (all are daily entry format) is Passports. Click the departure board to match off destinations. Get all six and £500 (or a share of) is yours. Then you can go and enter Syndicates, which is a free lottery syndicate. A lot of winners on this, from £10 to wins in the low hundreds, which isn't bad at all
They also run special games, in conjunction with other sites. The latest of these is with Lycos, and is a twist on the Scratchcard ...
