Overview
Gambling Connection: TOMBOLA LIMITED is the registered corporate entity for Tombola Limited, an active UKGC-licensed gambling operator that has held its licence since March 2014. It's in the Saferwager database as a direct licensee in the UK online gambling market.
TOMBOLA LIMITED has been registered at Companies House since 7 December 1999, making it one of the longer-established corporate entities in the UK gambling sector. It's a private limited company and currently carries an active status, with accounts and confirmation statements filed in good standing.
The company holds a Saferwager score of 94 (A+), driven by its age, active status, UK-resident directors, and a transparent ownership structure. It doesn't carry any outstanding charges, and all current directors are based in the United Kingdom. That combination puts it among the better-rated corporate entities in the Saferwager database.
Ownership transferred to a corporate parent in January 2022, marking a shift away from the founder-led structure that had been in place since incorporation. That transition is reflected in the board, which has seen several director changes in recent years as the company settles under its new ownership.
Governance
The current board has four directors, all British nationals resident in the United Kingdom. The company is wholly owned by Tse Holdings Limited, a corporate PSC holding between 75% and 100% of shares and voting rights. The secretary role is currently held by Christina King.
