It makes sense that if you play bingo, slots or casino games on your mobile phone, you should also be able to deposit funds that way too. Thankfully, more and more mobile bingo sites are seeing that this makes things much more streamlined for mobile players, and are starting a bingo banking revolution!

Banking by Phone Bill

Paying by your phone bill is easy, and in some instances can be done from a pay as you go phone too. All you have to do is follow the specific instructions on any given site, which may vary slightly. Then just create an SMS according to the template they want you to use, along with the deposit amount and hit send. Voila! It’s really that simple! The money will then be added to your next monthly phone bill, or in the case of a pay as you go phone, the cash will automatically be deducted from your credit.

Perks
One of the best things about depositing to your bingo account via phone bill is that it’s highly secure as you’re not entering any card or banking details, so the threat of cyber theft is virtually non-existent.

As well as being more secure, many sites allow a lower minimum deposit amount when depositing via phone bill, with some sites letting you deposit as little as £3 at a time.

Beware
One of the major drawbacks of using this system is that if your phone is lost or stolen, people could gain access to your SMS history and bingo account. That’s why it is paramount to delete SMS correspondence from bingo sites when your account has been successfully credited. It’s also a good idea to make sure your device prompts you for account details each time you want to play bingo, rather than saving them
