How to deposit with Pay by Phone
Once you’ve identified a casino that accepts this payment method, funding your account is easy. Visit the cashiers page at the online casino, then select pay by phone as the payment option you want to use to fund your account.
There are different types of pay by phone processors, the popular ones being the likes of Siru, Boku and Payforit.
Select the pay by phone method you want to use, and enter its paybill number. Next, you will enter your phone number then provide the amount you want to deposit. Verify the transaction by providing your pin then wait for a confirmation SMS.
Provide the code or verification link you received on the confirmation SMS at the online casino after which your balance will be updated.
How to Withdraw to Pay by Phone
Unfortunately, you cannot withdraw your winnings using pay by phone, and this is because unlike e-wallets, the account you have at your network operator cannot hold funds.
Consequently, you will have to find an alternative payment method to handle your withdrawals on the casino’s withdrawal page. You can withdraw your winnings using bank transfer, where you’ll have to provide your banking details.
Since you’ll be using a different withdrawal method from the one you used to deposit, the casino will ask you to verify both payment methods.
As part of a KYC process, you’ll also be asked to provide some legal documents to prove your identity. These will be your passport, government-issued ID or driver’s license, as well as a recent utility bill or a bank statement.
Limits and fees
You should expect to encounter transaction limits when using pay by phone deposit methods. The limits vary from one deposit method to the other and from one casino to the next. For instance, most casinos have their Boku daily maximum deposit limit at €30.
While you can deposit as low as €5 using the payment method, you should remember that this might be impossible when you are playing on a platform that has a minimum deposit of say €10.
Moreover, depending on which method you choose, and which casino you choose to play at, you might incur transaction fees when using phone payments to transact. Most casinos will cover the fees to allow you to transact for free, while others will let you pay. Always check the terms of each casino first to be sure.
Pay by Phone bonus at online casinos
You might unlock a variety of bonuses when you deposit using pay by phone on an online platform that supports the payment method. Besides being able to opt-in and claim the sign-up offer, you can also earn reload bonuses plus a variety of casino incentives.
However, since the limits of these payment methods are on the lower end, the match-up deposit bonuses will also be low. Nevertheless, you still get a chance to increase your bankroll and chances of winning.
