🎟️Tambola: free online Housie and Human Bingo with tickets on your phones
Tambola (Housie) and Human Bingo – tickets on everyone's phone.
Everyone gets a real Tambola ticket on their phone: 15 numbers in three rows. The app calls numbers from 1 to 90, out loud with the traditional calls if you like, and your ticket dabs itself. Claim a prize the moment you have it – but claim too early and it is a bogey. There is also Human Bingo, the icebreaker, and a caller-only mode for paper tickets.
