Pay by phone bingo in the UK: what's actually available in 2026

Pay-by-phone bingo is harder to find in the UK than it used to be. The big bingo brands that once took Boku have moved off carrier billing, so there's no honest "best pay-by-phone bingo sites" ranking we can stand behind today. This page tells you where things actually stand, and we'll expand it the moment a bingo operator's phone-bill support is verified.

The state of pay-by-phone bingo

The bingo-led brands have dropped Boku. Foxy Bingo, operated by LC International Limited under Entain, no longer lists a phone-bill option, and Buzz Bingo's current cashier support is unconfirmed at the time of writing. Until we can verify a bingo operator's pay-by-phone support at the live cashier, we won't recommend one, because a bingo site that no longer takes phone-bill deposits is no use to a pay-by-phone player, however good the rooms.

The four UKGC-licensed operators that do take a pay-by-phone deposit in 2026 are casino-led: Casushi on Boku, MrQ and Hot Streak Casino on Fonix, and Mr Vegas on Siru Mobile. MrQ runs bingo rooms alongside its slots and is the closest current option for a bingo player who wants to fund by phone, though you should confirm bingo eligibility for phone-funded deposits at the cashier before you play. See the full ranked list on our pay by mobile casino guide.

What to check before you play

Before you trust any "pay by phone bingo" recommendation, run two checks. First, confirm the operator still holds an active licence on the UKGC public register. Second, open the cashier and confirm a Pay by Mobile, Boku, or Fonix option is actually listed. Both can change without notice, and most affiliate sites don't re-check.
