Mobile phones have become an irreplaceable part of our lives. Can we even imagine a life without them? In 1996, only 16% of households in the United Kingdom had a mobile phone, while in 2016 that number was 95%. Considering that nowadays most households have more than one smartphone, the numbers get even more impressive. Mobile phones affected not only our lifestyle, but many industries as well, and the casino industry is no exception. With the mobile casino industry on the rise, more and more players rely on a reliable sources of online gambling info to experience the thrill of a spinning roulette or the excitement of having the final hand in poker. This payment method is very convenient, safe and easy to use, so no wonder it is taking up the casino industry by the storm.

 

What is Pay by SMS? 

Pay by SMS is a payment method that is becoming widely accepted in online casinos. By sending an SMS from their mobile phones, players can deposit funds to their casino account, without using credit cards, eWallets or vouchers. The amount deposited is either deducted from their pay-as-you-go balance or added to their monthly bill.

How to Make a Deposit in a Pay by SMS Casino?

Casinos that accept Pay by SMS are widely present all over Ireland and the UK, as local teleoperators offer this service. In case your phone operator is not enabling you to make such a transaction, you can always use apps that act as a mobile payment method. Players who use apps will sometimes have to connect their credit card to the app as in most cases it won’t be possible to subtract the deposited amount from your phone.

Some of the popular apps used for SMS deposits are Boku, PayZone, Payforit, and Zimpler. Many of these apps are regulated by the FCA, so players shouldn’t have difficulties in finding a reliable app for smooth SMS transactions.

Step by Step SMS Deposit guide

Making a casino deposit via SMS can be significantly different than depositing by using traditional methods.

  • Find a casino. First and foremost, the player has to find an online casino that supports this payment method by taking a closer look at their banking section. Usually one can find out the accepted payment methods before the registration by checking the website for more details or by contacting customer support.
  • Choose the SMS payment method. Once you have registered with the online casino, go to the deposit section and find the method of your choice. Enter the amount you want to deposit.
  • Type your phone number. You will have to enter your phone number, and don’t even try to mess with other phone numbers, as the deposit won’t be successful.
  • Approve the transaction. This step may be different for different teleoperators or casinos. In most cases, you will have to enter a PIN, a code sent via SMS, or approve the transaction directly in the app.

This may seem complicated, but all the player has to do is follow the steps and not skip any of them.

Is Pay by SMS Safe and Reliable?

Pay by SMS is as reliable as any other online payment method. However, it tends to be a lot safer as you never have to give your credit card details to the third party. This is especially important for players who like to play with different casinos and try out new brands on the market. The only time one has to give credit card information is when funding the SMS pay app.

Pay by SMS is also very fast. The transactions are executed almost immediately. In comparison, the bank wire transfer may take up to 48 hours. Even though players might encounter some small fees when using pay by SMS, these are still not as high as with eWallets.

The only downside of pay by SMS is that players are not able to make a withdrawal by using this method. The main reason for this is that the technology used is simply not meant for receiving money. Most good online casinos will still offer a great number of safe alternatives that can be used to withdraw the winnings and enjoy.
