Eager players don’t want to wait around, but we’re clueless as to why people think mobile depositing would be any slower than from desktop!

Mobile deposits use your phones credit or charge to your monthly bill, which means that no lengthy transactions take place. If you’ve got credit on your mobile, you’ve already topped up your phone so the casino is simply drawing on that money.

Similarly, if you’re a pay monthly customer, the deposit is charged to your monthly bill, so you don’t actually pay for anything until your phone bill comes through. This makes crediting your casino account incredibly quick, as you’re not waiting around for the bank to transfer your money.

Bank With Cross ThroughWe’ve mentioned numerous times through this article how easy mobile depositing is, and many times this has come down to the fact you don’t need to supply any bank details. This is because you definitely do not need a bank account, credit card, or debit card to make a mobile deposit.

Whilst those who pay their phone bill monthly may need a bank account for making direct debit payments, this isn’t anything to do with mobile deposits, as you can still use the service if you are on a pay-as-you-go tariff.

This means that you can top up your phone using cash, and then make your deposit by using this credit. Overall, this makes mobile depositing the perfect method for anyone who’s shunned the banks.
