FAQ
Pay by phone deposit limits are most commonly set at £10 per transaction, £30 per day and £240 per month. However, these limits vary by payment system and network provider and apply per phone, not per site. So, if you deposit £30 at Heart Bingo, you can’t go on to deposit at Jackpotjoy on the same day, with the same mobile number. Your pay by phone limits isn’t just restricted to bingo sites. For example, if you vote for your favourite Strictly contestant, the cost contributes to your monthly charges.
You can’t withdraw any of your bingo winnings to your phone and this is unlikely to change in the future. If you want to make a withdrawal, you’ll need an alternative payment method on your player account such as your bank card or an e-wallet like PayPal. It’s likely that you’ll be asked for additional documents when you add a new payment method to verify your identity and ownership of the bank account.
Bingo sites sometimes restrict their welcome offers to specific deposit methods and mobile phone payments are often left off the list. Check the terms and conditions of a new player bingo bonus before making a deposit as you may need to use an alternative payment method to claim an offer.
You don’t need to share any personal bank information or passwords when you deposit with your mobile phone which makes it a very safe and secure payment option. You must also physically have your phone with you to make and verify payments, making it harder for anyone else to use your number without permission. All mobile payments in the UK are regulated by the Phone-Paid Services Authority.
You don’t need to download an app or sign up to a site to pay by phone. However, there is an app called PayByPhone which is used for car parking charges, but you won’t need to download it unless you need to pay for parking!
Pay by Phone Bingo allows you to deposit funds and have them added to your mobile phone bill or deducted from your Pay As You Go balance. This method is totally security, as there is no need to input passwords or card details into the site.
