A cautious follow-up plan and copyable templates

These are suggested follow-up intervals, not a processing-time promise from the platform. Keep the original message and any confirmation number.

  • After 7 days without a reply, consider sending one follow-up.
  • If there is still no response after 14 days, use the platform's official complaint channel or a regulator only where it applies to your account.

Self-exclude from Tombola

Self-exclusion available through account settings with GAMSTOP integration.

Choose the period that matches the protection you want. If the options are unclear, ask the platform to confirm the start date, end date, and whether the period can be changed.

What self-exclusion actually does (and doesn't)

It is designed to block play for the period you choose. Whether it covers new sign-ups or can be changed early depends on the operator and jurisdiction; follow the platform-specific details above.

Do not assume self-exclusion deletes account data, stops every message, or covers other sites; exact scope varies. Consider account closure, mailbox controls, and a blocking tool as additional layers.

You can also use your mailbox's search, filter, and bulk-delete controls. Review the privacy terms and current price before granting any third-party cleanup tool access to your inbox.

Frequently asked questions

Can I reopen my Tombola account after deleting it?

Some platforms may reactivate a closed account after a support review. A self-exclusion is designed to block play for its selected period, but the exact rules depend on the operator and jurisdiction.

How long does Tombola account deletion take?

The steps on your side are estimated at 24-48 hours. The platform may not publish a processing time, so keep a copy of your request and follow up through its official support channel if needed.

What happens to the money in my account?

Check the platform's current balance rules. Withdraw first when permitted, and ask official support how any remaining balance will be handled.

Will marketing emails stop once the account is closed?

Request marketing removal explicitly in your account-closure request and follow the "Stop Tombola emails" section on this page.
