Pay by Mobile Phone Casino

Pay by mobile casino sites like PlayUK let you fund your account using your mobile credit or by adding the cost to your usual monthly bill.

It’s a super easy and convenient way to deposit and play games. Simply select PayViaPhone at our cashier, add your phone number, choose to add up to £30 and get your SMS code.

Your funds arrive in moments, and you can spin the reels or play your favourite table games straight away. Let’s give you the full lowdown on pay by phone casino options.

What is a Pay by Phone Casino?

Pay by mobile for casino funds is perhaps the easiest way to make a deposit at PlayUK. It means the cost of your deposit is either added to your usual monthly phone bill or taken from your pay-as-you-go credit.
You don’t have to link your debit card or hand over any of your bank account details to the casino. It’s fast, convenient, and perfectly safe and legal.
And because you can only deposit up to £30 at a time, you know your spending is under control.

Why are Pay by Mobile Casino Options Popular?

We’re used to doing everything on our mobile, and because this probably includes playing the world’s best slots like Big Bass Bonanza or Rainbow Riches, it makes sense to pay via your mobile bill, too.

Pros

Fast: Verify your phone number instantly. Choose your deposit size, receive a code and get your funds straight away.
Confidential: You don’t have to share any personal financial details with the casino. So, no sharing bank account or card numbers.
Responsible: Your phone bill lists your spending, and you have a low maximum deposit of just £30 for each deposit, or £240 over a month.
Safe and Secure: All transactions are handled securely by our processor and your phone company, and are covered by UK regulatory oversight.

Cons

No withdrawal: Unlike other mobile payment options, you cannot withdraw using PayViaPhone at a casino. You’ll need another choice like Apple Pay.
Limits and fees: Some players might find the deposit limits restrictive, or be put off by the 15% processing fee.
You must weigh up the benefits of this payment method against its limitations. But the good news is you have other choices should you need them.

Who is Pay by Phone Best Suited To?

High rollers should look away now, because if that’s you, you’re unlikely to be happy with capping your deposit at £30. High rollers also tend to deposit more often, so they will be put off by PayViaPhone’s 15% transaction fee.

Instead, pay by phone bill casino deposits best suit casual players who value the privacy of not having to link their bank account, alongside built-in spending control.

This method will also suit you if you like to track your casino spending, since any deposit will show up in the same place on your monthly phone bill or pay-as-you-go balance.

Pay by Mobile Casino Deposit Bonuses

When you use PayViaPhone to make your first deposit at PlayUK, you can claim our current welcome bonus, which is likely to be a deposit match, free spins on a top slot game, or a combination of the two (terms and conditions apply).
Unlike Skrill and Neteller, which exclude you from receiving the welcome bonus, pay by phone casino options are always accepted.
So, check out our current promotions page to see not only what bonus is available to you as a new player, but also whether you get another reload bonus when you deposit again.

Alternative mobile options

If you don’t like the idea of using our PayViaPhone service to deposit straight from your mobile phone bill, PlayUK offers alternatives.
The most straightforward ways, which take no more than a couple of clicks, are Apple Pay and PayPal (unfortunately, we do not currently accept Google Pay).
Assuming you have one of these services already installed on your phone, you’ll know they’re simple to use.
And they have some distinct advantages over pay by mobile casino deposits: higher limits and no deposit fees are the most attractive. Check out our table comparing the three deposit options.

Feature	Pay by Mobile	Apple Pay	PayPal
Min deposit	£10	£10	£10
Max deposit	£30	£2,500	£2,500
Fees	15%	0% on deposits, 1% up to £3 on withdrawals	0% on deposits, 1% up to £3 on withdrawals
Card needed?	No	No	No
Withdrawal method	No	Yes	Yes
Deposit speed	Instant	Instant	Instant

Does PlayUK offer More Payment Methods?

Yes, if you’re using a laptop or desktop computer, or just want other choices, then you can deposit using these methods at PlayUK:

• Visa and Mastercard debit cards
• PayPal
• Paysafecard
• Payz
• Skrill
• Neteller
• Neosurf

Please note that while most methods, including pay by phone casino deposits, mean you can claim your welcome bonus (terms and conditions apply), using Skrill and Neteller excludes you from the welcome offer.

Pay by Phone vs Prepaid Vouchers

While we list prepaid vouchers like Paysafecard as an alternative to a pay by phone casino, there are some key differences.

The main and obvious one is that with a voucher, you must take time to buy one first, and then link it to your casino account. With the mobile route, your phone already has access to the funds, saving you time.

Which Phone Networks Support Pay by Mobile Casino Deposits?

All the major UK mobile networks support this fast casino deposit method: Vodafone, O2, EE, and Three.

All of the big four work equally well if you’re on a monthly contract, with the casino deposit amount being added to your next monthly bill. Although the payment will be itemised on your mobile bill statement, only the total mobile bill will reflect on your bank statement.

Equally, all four networks let you deduct a casino deposit from your pay-as-you-go credit, should you hold one of these SIM cards. You must make sure you have enough pay-as-you-go credit before making a pay by mobile casino deposit.

How to deposit at a Pay by Phone Bill Casino

Did we mention that pay by phone bill casino deposits are really simple? Here’s the step-by-step proof:

1. Register for your PlayUK account (click the sign up button at the top of the page)
2. Head to the cashier and select PayViaPhone from our list of options
3. Enter your mobile number and select your deposit amount: £10, £20, £25 or £30
4. Receive your SMS code and then enter it carefully in the cashier
5. Your funds should drop into your casino account more or less instantly
6. Play slots from top studios like Pragmatic Play or hit the live casino tables.

And that’s all there is to it. Remember, it’s easier than other payment methods, you don’t need to give PlayUK any of your financial details, and it won’t show up as a casino payment on your bank statement.

Deposit Limits and Fees Using your Pay by Phone Bill for Casino

If you intend to deposit large amounts, then paying via your mobile phone bill won’t suit you. That’s because this service has strict deposit limits. For some, this is a good thing because it means you can’t get carried away and spend more than you can afford.

Limits: The maximum you can deposit each time using the pay by mobile casino option is £30. And the most you can deposit over the course of a month is £240

The flip side is that using this service incurs fees, unlike other no-fee mobile payment methods like Apple Pay or PayPal.

Fees: Each deposit attracts a 15% fee, which is taken from your deposit total before it lands in your casino account

What Happens if Your Pay by Phone Casino Deposit Fails?

There are several reasons your deposit could fail, and your SMS code does not arrive within a minute or so. The main reason will be that you may have insufficient credit on your pay-as-you-go balance to cover your deposit. Another common reason is that you have already hit your monthly deposit limit.

If it’s not one of those two main reasons, it could be as simple as you not having sufficient network reception to receive your SMS code, or that you used the incorrect mobile number when you entered it in the casino cashier.

Contact the PlayUK support team if you’re confident you used the correct number and that you have the funds in place to support a pay by mobile casino payment. Here’s how to get in touch:

• Use live chat 24/7 when logged into your account
• Email us at customersupport@instantgamessupport.com

Responsible Gambling

At PlayUK, we’re very keen to promote responsible gambling. We want you to treat your casino gaming sessions as entertainment, something that should always be fun and not a way to make money.

To help, you should always play with cash you can afford to lose, since there’s no guarantee you’ll win it back.

We also want to make sure you don’t get too engrossed and play for too long, especially if doing so gets in the way of your other responsibilities, like family, work, friends, and activities.

To help, we offer:

• Deposit limits
• Session time limits
• Playing time reminders
• Temporary exclusion
• Permanent exclusion

We also have plenty of advice on where to go for help with your gambling, should you need it.
