A payment method allowing users to add funds to an online account, often for gambling or gaming purposes, by charging the deposit amount to their monthly mobile telephone invoice. This service operates by authenticating the users phone number and subsequently adding the deposited sum to the customers next billing cycle. For instance, a user might deposit $30 into a casino account, and this amount would appear as an additional charge on their monthly phone bill.
This funding mechanism offers several advantages, including enhanced convenience for users who prefer not to use credit or debit cards online. It provides an additional layer of security by preventing the direct sharing of bank details with online merchants. Its adoption has grown alongside the increasing popularity of mobile gaming and the demand for simplified and secure payment solutions. Historically, this option emerged as a response to the need for accessible micro-transaction methods in digital entertainment sectors.
