Up to 250 jobs are at risk at Sunderland-headquartered online bingo giant Tombola.
The company, which operates Europe鈥檚 largest online bingo website, is looking to make cost savings following a 拢402 million takeover by Flutter – owner of Paddy Power and Sky Bet – in 2021. It employs 700 people in the UK.
Members of the customer experience team were informed via email last week that their roles were at risk of being cut and a meeting for those potentially affected was held on Friday.
