Tambola Pro is a software tool designed to facilitate the organization and management of Tambola/Housie games. It is NOT a gambling platform. This application does not accept wagers, does not process bets, does not offer real-money payouts, and does not operate as a casino or gambling establishment of any kind. Any use of this tool for illegal gambling is strictly prohibited and is the sole responsibility of the user.

  • Legal Compliance: You are solely responsible for ensuring your game complies with all applicable local, state, national, and international laws and regulations.
  • Licensing & Permits: If your jurisdiction requires a license or permit to organize Tambola/Housie games, you must obtain such authorization before creating a game.

The Service is provided "as is" and is intended for entertainment, social, and community event purposes only.

5. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access to the Service for any user who violates these Terms, particularly those using the Service for illegal gambling or in violation of applicable laws. Game hosts may terminate their games at any time. Upon game termination, all associated data is subject to deletion per our data retention policies.
