pay-by-mobile-optionsGaming at the casino on your mobile is increasingly becoming the way most consumers are choosing to play. With an extensive range of mobile exclusive casinos and nearly all casinos on the market having a mobile version of their site, there’s no lack of places to play at the casino on your mobile. But being able to play on your mobile is only half the battle, and players still want a way to make simple deposits and withdrawals, using their mobile device. Players don’t want to be messing around with bank cards and login details when they’re gaming out of the house.

Below is the ultimate compilation of mobile depositing methods, so you can make payments on the go, using your mobile phone. We’ve broken them down into categories based on whether your deposits come from your bank account, your mobile phone bill or a combination of the two, so you can decide how you want to pay and then try out the associated mobile depositing services, to see if it’s the mobile depositing method for you.


 

Premium SMS Phone Billing

These are the mobile depositing methods which allow you to pay using your mobile phone bill. Any payments you make will be added to your mobile phone bill as if you made a phone call, meaning your payments are secure and mobile friendly.

Boku Mobile

Boku Mobile is the most popular mobile phone billing paymenBoku Logot service on the market today and is available at nearly every single casino where mobile phone billing is a depositing option. For starters, players should know that this is a one way payment system, so you can only make deposits using this method. But what you get in return is a fluid and fast depositing method that only takes a few seconds to complete from start to finish.

All players need to do is enter their mobile phone number at the checkout of any casino, respond to an SMS to authorise the payment and then the process is complete. Boku mobile will even keep track of your mobile phone using your internet browser, so your mobile number will be remembered whenever you use the Boku mobile service, so you don’t even have to remember to type that in.

And the system is great for players on a budget, as Boku mobile restricts you to a daily depositing limit of £30 a day, so while it’s not designed for high flyers, it will stop anyone who’s worried about overspending at the casinos.

Payforit

PayforIt logoPayforit is an alternative to Boku Mobile, which doesn’t quite come with the added features of Boku, but offers a more open platform which replaces service with freedom. Customers will not be tracked across sites, so users will always have to type in their details to make a payment at each new casino they visit.

However, this lack of tracking also means players are not subject to a daily depositing limit, so although they are restricted to a £30 deposit limit per transaction, they are free to make as many transactions as they wish throughout the day.

 

Mobile Phone Banking

Mobile phone banking allows customers to connect their mobile phone directly to their bank account, allowing them to make swift bank payments using their mobile. When you sign up with a mobile phone banking service, you set up an account and add all the necessary details for each of the bank accounts that you wish to tie to it.

You can save as many of your bank accounts as you want. When you next head to make a payment at the casino, you just need to simply log in, authorise which bank account you wish to make the payment from and then your bank account will be charged as if you’d made a card payment, without the hassle of typing in a 16 digit card number.

Trustly

Trustly is the oldest and most successful mobile phone banking Trustly Logoservice that’s around today. Trustly has just opened up offices in the UK, and while it’s not explicitly available in the UK, some casinos are already allowing the service to UK players.

The majority of customers will have to wait a few months, but Trustly have promised the service will be here within the early months of 2017, so there won’t be long to wait. Trustly is available throughout Europe, so you’ll be able to use it across the entire continent if you go travelling, or wish to play at Euro hosted casinos.

Zimpler

Zimpler works in exactly the same way as Trustly and also sadly is currently constricted to Northern Europe for the time being. However, the creators of Zimpler have announced that the service will be making its way to the UK within the next year, so the wait won’t be too long to take advantage of this terrific mobile banking service.

 

Mobile E-Wallets

neteller-skrill-paypal-ewalletse-wallets are the original way to do online banking and as mobile users have grown, the major e-wallet companies have done their best to optimise their service for mobile users. All e-wallets that are available to use at mobile casinos, will have been re-designed to work perfectly on your mobile phone. Players will be able to make payments from their online wallet, or even straight from their bank account in some cases. And the best part is, e-wallets allow you to both deposit and withdraw from the same online account, offering a 2 way system for any cash you use at the casinos.

Skrill 1 Tap

Skrill is the most prominent e-wallet found at the online casinos, and offers one of the smoothest services whenever you go to make a payment. Login simply requires your email address and password, and once you’re logged in, you can make a payment within a few simple steps. From the checkout screen you can review your wallet balance and even add cards to your account to top up your wallet there and then if you’re running a little low.

PayPal

PayPal gives users all the same benefits as Skrill, as well as the ability to make payments directly from their bank account. Instead of adding cash to their online wallet at checkout, users can simply make a payment and any cash they don’t have in their PayPal wallet, will be automatically transferred directly from their bank account.

Neteller

Neteller is second to Skrill in terms of availability and offers many of the same perks that Skrill gives to its own customers. Neteller allows you to make payments from your online wallet, but some ill thought out design features prevent customers from being able to check their wallet balance, or top it up without logging into their Neteller account off site. Neteller also offers increased security in the form of its unique Neteller ID, which is used for login, but forgetful players might find this extra security ends up keeping them out of their account more often than not.

Paysafecard

Paysafecard is a voucher based online e-wallet which allows for capaysafecard-pinsino goers to purchase vouchers in high street stores and then use the 16 digit code printed on them to transfer their worth into their casino wallet. Players who want to keep their Paysafecard vouchers in one place can also deposit their vouchers into an online e-wallet which will store the total worth of all their vouchers until they feel the need to deposit some of it into their casino.

 

Mobile Invoice Services

mobile-invoicingMobile invoicing services are unfortunately not available in the UK at the moment, but are making waves in Scandanavia and are set to make their way into UK territory within the next few years. They’ve become possible due to an improvement in software which allows banks to make instant credit checks based solely on a mobile phone number.

Depositors are able to make payments at a casino using just their mobile phone number, but instead of charging the money straight to your mobile phone bill, you’ll instead have a credit check carried out in a couple of seconds. Once that’s complete, you’ll receive an invoice by SMS which will confirm the payment. Once you’ve authorised everything, you’ll then be able to play at your casino immediately, even if you’re temporarily low on cash.

Your invoice will be saved to your SMS, and like any invoice, you’ll just have to pay it back within a few days once you’ve got the cash. It’s got the speed of mobile phone billing, but with the convenience of an instantaneous invoicing service, all completely controlled from your mobile device.
