More and more bingo sites and casinos are looking to make it as easy as possible to use convenient ways to deposit and more and more people like to do this directly by telephone, or by adding the deposit to their mobile phone bill.
Paying by phone is as straightforward as it sounds. You contact the number on the site you wish to play at, once you become a member they will arrange to take your payment securely so you can play.
Other sites have teamed up with a company called Boku that allows you to deposit money and have the deposit added to your mobile phone bill as if it is part of your calls. It is available to those on a contract or Pay as you Go. Boku is the intermediary and charges your deposit to the phone network provider and passes it to the site you wish to play at. The funds are immediately available to play.
There are many other providers that offer this service and all follow the Payforit official guidelines, but Boku is currently the largest and most popular.
Boku does not cost you to use the service as it receives its money from the casino or bingo site you have deposited at based on a percentage of your deposit.
This style of Direct Carrier Billing is suitable for those that may not have a bank account or be willing to commit their debit or credit card details online to random sites, it only needs your mobile number. While it is only suitable for digital transactions it makes it very accessible to everyone and there is no need to visit a shop to purchase. Only one simple piece of data needs to be supplied so it’s quick and simple as well as secure.
There are limitations to bear in mind – daily deposit limit of £30; only strict deposit amounts accepted of £3, £5, £10 and £30; only able to deposit with Boku, not withdraw.
This site opened in March 2017 and operates on Cozy Games software and the Best Bingo Network banner. That means that you get excellent quality games and a good selection of them too.
These sites offer an excellent selection of bingo games and, as long as you can work round the wagering, offer a good bingo experience. These days the Cozy Games wagering is not as prohibitive as it once appeared.
The ‘swag’ of the title doesn’t refer to criminal proceedings as anticipated prior to opening, but instead is short for ‘swagger’, the boastful gait you may employ should you be lucky enough to become a big winner…. Read more

BoyleSports Bingo is part of the BoyleSports Group, Ireland’s largest independent betting and gaming provider. Since the company was established in 1989 BoyleSports has opened over 115 land based Licensed Betting Offices (LBOs) throughout Ireland. BoyleSports is widely recognised throughout Ireland and the UK for setting among the highest standards of customer service in the betting and gaming industry.
That expertise has now been brought to bingo and BoyleSports Bingo opened using the equally widely acclaimed Virtue Fusion software. This bingo site is very colourful and is as friendly as you would expect from an Irish based bingo site. Many of the rooms are networked, but plenty of Boylebingo roomies report on their lucky wins….

This site opened in January 2017 and has the honour of being the first new bingo site of the year that came to our attention, so quite fitting for the 001 title. While the site claims to be ‘the number one bingo site’ as part of its logo, this is open to debate as it is powered by Cozy Games and operates on the Best Bingo Network, so offers the same as many other sites on the same network.
It goes on to claim to be ‘the friendliest site in town’ and that should be easier to establish once you join and a community spirit is created and as players develope a rapport with the chat hosts designated to the site…. Read more

Although this is a Nektan powered site, it has a number of different attributes to its stablemates. Opened early in 2018 Jackpot Jones is the first Nektan site to try a spins only welcome offer with only x1 wagering on the winnings. That is quite revolutionary for a slots site at this point.
The theme is one of pirates and their treasure, but a lot has to be left to the imagination due to new design rules for gambling sites.
This is one of the more simple designs that Nektan employs, has less games than usual and you simply choose from Player Favourites/Jackpot Games/Jones’ Picks or All Games to navigate your way around the site…. Read more
* First 3 deposits only. Minimum deposit £10 for each bonus. Max 100 spins on Gonzo’s Quest. Selected slot games only. 10x conversion. 1x wagering. Full T&Cs apply. All rights reserved.
This site operates on Cozy Games software and on the Best Bingo Network. This means a great selection of bingo and slot games and one of the best mobile bingo experiences from the pioneeers. The game selection got even better in October 2017 when NetEnt and Eyecon games were added to the Cozy Games favourites.
Apart from the regular promotional games and giveaways, WOW Bingo also plays 24/7 chat games and players absolutely adore them.
The site has been around for years and was among the first on the Cozy bingo platform. It has not been allowed to languish however and has benefitted from regular updates over the years…. Read more

Swanky Bingo opened in February 2016 and is on Cozy software on the Live Bingo Network.
The site really lives up to its name with it rich brown and gold design. The site is laid out really nicely and gives a really nice introduction to the Cozy Games platform. You can see the bingo rooms available before you even log in and the games and prizes available.
From the generous welcome offer to a range of great promotions taking place every day, week and month, Swanky Bingo has lots of reasons to have you as a regular player, although if you are familiar with the platform you will note that it is the same inside as the other sites on the same network….

As you would expect logging on to a site that is owned by The Sun you are greeted by a site designed around the colour red. This is mitigated somewhat by the numerous images of many of the best slot games the site has to offer.
The Sun Play has opted for the Nektan casino and slots platform – one which is growing in popularity all the time, thanks to the variety of games available. You will find all the big names and some from not so well known developers too.
The site has been developed on a ‘mobile first’ basis and this is emphasised by the fact that a ‘Play on mobile’ message is on every page.
*New players only. 18+. 200% match with code: 200FIRST. Min deposit £25. Max bonus £100 + 50 Spins. Spins on specified slots only. 30X wagering (Deposit+Bonus). 4X conversion. Full T&Cs apply. Please gamble responsibly.
Wowingo is the third member of the Lucky Duck Network which is slowly building into a force to be reckoned with. While on Cozy Games software it has a different selection of rooms to the more widely available Live Bingo Network sites.
The site opened in February 2015 and brought a fresh new look rare at sites on the Cozy Bingo platform at that time – that helped to mark it out as a member of the different network.
Bright and airy in pale blue and white the offers are clearly laid out and the promotions are simple and to the point. As you become more familiar with the community elements of the site the more benefit you will reap from it…. Read more
Becky’s Bingo launched in November 2016 on Cozy software. This site has opted for the Lucky Duck Network which is much smaller than the other two on the Cozy platform and so it has some different features to offer.
This site gives a more modern feel to the Cozy offer and we have a real life person as Becky who welcomes you to the site and who is said to be running the show behind the scenes and bringing players the deals and offers that they want.
The good selection of bingo games and slot games is a plus, as are the existence of lots of different bingo rooms, most with their own unique giveaways…. Read more
