Pay by phone casino deposits: how they work and their limits
By the CasinoCue editorial team · 2026-11-13 · 4 min read
A pay by phone casino lets you deposit by adding the amount to your mobile bill or taking it from pay-as-you-go credit. Limits are low, usually around £30 a day, and you cannot withdraw to a phone bill.
How pay by phone bill works
You choose the pay by mobile option, enter your number and confirm by text message. The deposit is charged to your next phone bill or deducted from your credit. No card or bank details are shared with the casino.
The limits
Deposits are capped at a low daily amount set by the payment provider and your network. Some casinos charge a fee for this method, and some exclude it from bonus offers. Check both before you use it.
Withdrawals need a second method
Phone billing is deposit-only. To withdraw you will need to add a debit card, bank account or e-wallet, and pass identity checks. Set this up before you play so a withdrawal is not held up later.
Other mobile payment options
Apple Pay and Google Pay are mobile wallets linked to your debit card. They are fast for deposits and avoid typing card details. Credit cards cannot be used for gambling in Great Britain, including through a mobile wallet.
