Pay By Phone Bill Casinos & Slots

Carrier billing companies are the mediators between players and casino operators. Their job is to charge your mobile network for your deposits and process the payments to the casinos. This allows brands to receive your funds immediately, rather than when you eventually pay your phone bill.

Carrier billing companies once used a system called Premium SMS (PSMS) to take payments by text message, but the service suffered from a lack of flexibility and expensive transaction fees of up to 40%. These charges would mostly be covered by vendors (gambling brands), although some proportion was also passed on to players. Nowadays, the same companies use cheaper direct carrier billing for payment processing, reducing fees to around 10% – a cost that is generally paid by casino operators. This change also ensures that you are not charged more than the value of your deposit at a casino to make the deposit itself. The only exception being Nektan, which imposes a 15% fee per deposit that’s completed using carrier billing. Always check a site’s terms and conditions before making a deposit to avoid being caught out by unwanted hidden costs. Most reputable casinos clearly state whether there are charges for deposits or withdrawals using particular payment methods

You can only deposit up to £30 a day and £240 a month per mobile number when paying with your mobile phone bill. Some carrier billing companies even have a £10 per transaction limit. Bear in mind that these limits apply to per mobile number, not per website. For example, if you deposit £10 at PlayOJO and then pay your £9.99 Spotify bill using your phone bill, you’ll have £10.01 available to spend for the day, assuming your daily limit is £30. Remember that you can also set personal deposit limits at any casino often located in the responsible gambling section of your account settings.

You can pay by phone with most mobile networks, depending on the carrier billing company used by the slots or casino site. Major networks like EE, O2, Three and Vodafone are generally accepted, but you may need to check if you’re on a smaller network such as Virgin, Tesco or GiffGaff.

While Pay by phone casinos simplify the process of betting online by eliminating the need to deposit money into an online casino account, it doesn't make gambling any easier.

All bets are charged to your monthly phone bill. These payments are debited directly from your phone bill, offering a hassle-free alternative to transferring money from your bank account to your casino profile. However, be aware that there are limits on the amount you can deposit, which is typically set below £30 to prevent large accidental transactions.
