It’s absolutely fun and engaging. But there’s one issue in this iOS version, even though I was purchasing the ticket it was not allotting the ticket to me whereas, I was the admin and rest everyone else was getting the ticket. ### 3/5 — Sunflower *2024-05-20* Very bad game, it doesn’t say your numbers and makes u loose, stupid game, totally useless🥺 **Developer response:** Dear User, thanks for reaching out. Octro Tambola is a decade old game with a huge user base. We value your feedback. We will pass on your feedback to the product team. See you on the game ### 2/5 — Calling out numbers *2023-03-30* I don’t know why but always when I play this game it never calls out numbers and just today I was playing and it looks like the seconds to see if the number is to fast.I feel I want the numbers to be called out as it can help my vocabulary.i even tried purchasing the voice and equipped it but still this is not working.I really don’t appreciate this and I want this to be fixed..Very disappointing ### 1/5 — no support for this game *2022-11-15* if u are planning to play this game for a longer time may be with breaks in between forget it. i played once collected huge number of coins and gems. i had to take a break. lost all of those and started again from scratch. i have sent emails to octro but looks like all those went into void. no response. there is no team supporting this game afaik. **Developer response:** Dear user, we are all ears kindly elaborate on your issue or write to us at tambola.support@octro.com, will look into it. ### 1/5 — Useless app *2022-09-19* The worst game I have ever seen and played in my life. The number which I want it never comes, the power option which is there no use of that to win the game bcoz the game never announce your number that’s why you can’t win the game with power and the number never comes on time when we need. The game maker is so cheap that he always make others win not the game player. When everyone gets early five, top, fore corner n etc etc still I’m waiting on 2 or 3 numbers only. When my early five getting done that time all the other players have win the game. Seriously this is the cheapest n worst game which I have ever played in my life. Plz don’t install this game bcoz this game will never make you win. ### 2/5 — Bogus Games a big spoiler! *2022-07-13* I had been enjoying the game initially, but there are so many bogus games, where it shows there are 10 players & as the game continues I realize that I’m playing alone, which is extremely annoying. I can’t even quit as I will loose there is a penalty. And what’s with the unnecessary high ticket prices & stakes? To have a variation, try having more different items to win instead of just 6 options. And pls have an option of the lady just reading the numbers instead of adding phrases before each number. **Developer response:** Dear User, thanks for reaching out. Octro Tambola is a decade old game with a huge user base. We value your feedback. We will pass on your feedback to the product team. See you on the game ### 1/5 — Trick *2021-07-01, version 6.09* Do not get app trying to scam people ### 2/5 — Annoyed *2020-10-27* I have been playing this game regularly for a month now. Initially enjoyed cos I used to win something or the other. But lately I have noticed, that the numbers that I have are not read till the end not even with the gems. A person winning almost everything. I just felt annoyed and irritated so leaving this useless game now. My luck isnt that bad. Its just that I have wasted my time here. You need to motivate people to play not just making 1 person winning everything. Very disappointed ### 1/5 — Refund me the amount *2020-10-25* You’ve charged me double for the gems neither you give me those gems nor refund the amount. I have emailed multiple times and the team never bothered to reply back ### 1/5 — No gems added if won *2020-10-15* If we win gems with high amount it is never added. I happens always. ### 1/5 — Number game but with trick *2020-07-16* I feel this game works on trick when you have more coins you always get the numbers which are not in your ticket and when you are almost there to complete something to claim you won’t get number till end. It seems like game doesn’t want you to win and when you have less coins that you will not be able to play suddenly you get all numbers you want and win more coins. Doesn’t even deserve one star. **Developer response:** Dear Shishir, thanks for reaching out. Octro Tambola is a decade-old game with a huge user base. To keep the game entertaining, our algorithm decides the number of claims that can be done basis the pool of tickets. Please be rest assured that gameplay is fair & we look forward to seeing you on the game ### 3/5 — Should be our Choice for amount for tickets *2020-07-04* The worst part of the game is, you don’t get to choose the amount for the tickets to play, it’s just according to the level you’re on, it’s almost an all-in if you want to play with four tickets! We should have the option to decide the amount for the tickets! Apart from that the game is fine :) Hope to see this lil change in game for good, people are gonna love it! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2026-08-14* Amazing game 😂 You can buy multiple tickets, sit there waiting for your numbers to be called, and the moment you’re finally ONE number away from claiming a reward… congratulations, someone else has already claimed it! 🥲 At this point, it honestly feels like everything is already decided and settled beforehand. No matter how many tickets you buy, you somehow end up watching someone else claim the reward just before you do. 🤡 It becomes extremely frustrating and honestly raises questions about how fair and transparent the game really is. You’re basically paying to watch other people win. 😂 Very disappointing experience. ### 1/5 — Don’t install *2026-07-24* When play this game starting is better then why this game give starting few powers after play 3 or 4 games no powers also when click wrong button then delete that ticket atlist did not give any chance you click wrong button duck it up this game download another its good ### 1/5 — FRAUD! *2025-11-26* This game is ripping me off! I’m a level 26 player and they’re charging 5 crores per ticket, which is fine as long as they’re giving out the same kind of prize as we can continue playing. Here’s the problem: I played with 4 tickets which totals to 20 crores. Now we all know they don’t have many players playing simultaneously so they add fake players.. so I was playing at 4:30 in the morning and there were fake players so I won everything early five, top line etc. guess how much I won? 7.32 crores! They charged me 20 crores for 4 tickets and with their fake players I’m winning everything still I don’t even recover all the money they charged me!! Thieves!! ### 1/5 — Coins *2025-11-24* I accidentally clicked on 4 tickets and when I canceled it toke all my coins away and now it’s telling me to buy more coins. It should be like u get your coin back if u cancel it but otherwise the game is fine ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-11-20* This game is only for their own kind. You never win properly. They give u the worst ticket. Not worth to play if you are other than Indian. Thank u ### 1/5 — Bad *2024-01-22* Never mentioned my number very bad game cheeee ### 1/5 — 5 STARS FOR FOOLING THE PUBLIC. *2024-01-20* FOOLING the public who don't understand that they give 1,100,000,000 chips (one billion,one hundred million for 1 ticket and even a top winner, wins only in crores. So even A WINNER IS A LOSER...🤣🤣🤣😂😴😂 ### 1/5 — Table level stays fixed *2023-11-18* Table level stays fixed with your growing coins. There should be flexibility to play at any table amount when you have large amount of coins ### 1/5 — Tattii Application *2023-05-16* Mat kheliye:. Bilkul tattii bakwass hai.. ### 1/5 — Not fair *2023-02-15* Your this application u have classified under Casino head . Can u people give any example of any casino through out world where on any table one person whose bet is of only say Rs.1 can play on the table on which some players are putting bet of Rs. 1,00,000/-with the equal chance of winning . it is happening since last 3 months , in your this application that a person of level 1 is playing on the same table with the player of level 32 difference between ticket cost is around 1,00,000 TIMES . With the equal level of winning chances IS it fair . By adding this new feature you people are cheating with public and are using unfair means to extract the money from persons using ur this application . And before 2 weeks you have replaced 2X POWER UP WITH 1.2X new power up . Are u people giving any money against his winning. Else why u have removed this 2X power up . Since last three months it seems your technical team is consist of frustrated and WICKED persons who enjoy in giving stress to other person even if they’re not getting any benefits from these feature ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Chips missing *2026-08-24* I had been playing this game from a long time and had been using Facebook to login. There was some login issue recently, as a result of which I had to login again. All my chips are now missing and stolen. Help section within the app is of no use since nothing happens on clicking it. It’s really disappointing to see an app with no supporting. ### 5/5 — Good 👍🏻 *2025-04-17* Very Addictive 😆 ### 5/5 — Chips missing *2024-07-21* I had been playing this game from a long time and had been using Facebook to login.

In-game purchases are not credited to the account and there is no response from their support to multiple emails. So had to report it to apple and got refunded from apple support. Do your self a favour, do not install this game.
