# Casinos That Accept PayPal in the UK: What to Check
::: hero-subtitle
Casino payment wording, slot access, bonuses and withdrawals are separate questions, so each needs its own confirmation.

## PayPal and UK online slots: what the available evidence can establish
A casino account, a payment method, access to online slots and a promotion are separate parts of the arrangement. They are often presented together on a landing page, but one does not prove the others. A reference to PayPal beside a casino name, for instance, cannot by itself establish that PayPal can fund an account, that every customer can use it, or that a deposit made that way qualifies for an offer.
I have found that payment language is easy to read too broadly. “PayPal casino” may sound like a complete description of how an operator handles money. In practice, the meaningful question is narrower: what does the operator’s own cashier and account wording say about the particular transaction? The phrase alone does not settle whether a payment route is available or what conditions attach to it.
The same separation matters when slots enter the picture. A game catalogue tells a customer what games an operator offers; it does not establish which payment methods the operator accepts. Nor does a payment option, if displayed, identify which games can be played after funds reach an account. Those are distinct operational details. Treating them as one claim turns a broad label into a promise it may not support.
Promotions introduce another layer. A casino may advertise a welcome offer, but the headline does not establish that every deposit method is eligible. The promotion’s terms determine its conditions, including any payment-method restrictions. A claim about “PayPal bonuses” therefore needs to be read as a claim about both the payment route and the specific offer rules—not as an automatic feature of a casino account.
That distinction has practical consequences. An account may be available to a customer without every payment route being available to that account; a payment may be accepted without qualifying for a promotion; and a promotion may have its own conditions even where the underlying casino games are accessible. These are not technicalities. They determine what a customer can actually do, rather than what a short label appears to promise.

The UK setting also defines what “online slots” means in this context. Real-money gambling offered to customers in Great Britain falls under the [UK Gambling Commission’s licensing system](https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/about-us/guide/what-we-regulate), regardless of where an operator’s key equipment is located. [The Gambling Act 2005](https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/guidance/guidance-to-licensing-authorities/part-1-primary-legislation) provides the main framework in England, Wales and Scotland; Northern Ireland is outside that Act’s scope. Legal online casino gambling in the UK is provided by operators holding the relevant UK Gambling Commission licence.
That regulatory frame governs the operator and its gambling activity. It does not, on its own, establish the availability of any named payment service or whether a particular deposit qualifies for a bonus. Payment claims and licensing claims answer different questions. Combining them in a single promotional sentence can make the sentence sound more conclusive than it is.
There are also rules affecting the slot experience itself. The maximum stake per game cycle is [£5 for customers aged 25 and over](https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/licensees-and-businesses/guide/online-slots-stake-limit-guidance), and [£2 for those aged 18 to 24](https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/licensees-and-businesses/guide/online-slots-stake-limit-guidance). The £5 limit for all adults aged 25 and over [took effect on 9 April 2025](https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/licensees-and-businesses/guide/online-slots-stake-limit-guidance). Online slot autoplay is prohibited in Britain, and each spin must last at least two and a half seconds. These rules concern how online slots are played; they do not identify a payment method or determine the terms of a casino promotion.
$$LINKCARD casinos-that-accept-webmoney-uk$$
Age checks are part of the account relationship too: operators must verify a customer’s age before allowing a deposit into a gambling account. Again, that says nothing about which payment options an operator supports. It is a separate condition of access to real-money gambling.
When I assess a statement linking PayPal with slots, accounts and offers, I separate its parts rather than treating the wording as proof of a full package. Is it describing an account, a payment route, a game catalogue, or a promotion? Each requires its own evidence and its own terms. A short phrase may blur those boundaries; the underlying conditions do not.
That is the useful scope for the subject. PayPal, casino accounts, slots and bonuses are connected only where the operator’s actual arrangements connect them. A payment reference does not establish a slot list, and a bonus headline does not establish payment eligibility. The distinction is plain. The details matter.

#### Do
– Check the operator’s current cashier for payment options
– Verify the specific terms of a promotion for payment eligibility
– Treat payment, game, and bonus claims as separate operational details

#### Don’t
– Assume a “PayPal casino” label proves the method is currently available
– Treat a game catalogue as evidence of accepted payment methods
– Assume every deposit method qualifies for a welcome offer

## PayPal deposits at UK casino sites: acceptance cannot be assumed
A casino’s name appearing beside PayPal in a headline is not proof that PayPal can be used to fund a UK account. The useful question is narrower: does that operator currently offer PayPal as a deposit option to the particular customer, in the relevant market? Without confirmation from the operator, a site list can make a possibility look like a working payment route.
I would not present a collection of casino names as verified PayPal deposit destinations without checking their current terms and cashier. Payment arrangements can change, and an old review or promotional page may remain visible after its details have stopped matching the operator’s live offering. That is a basic problem with lists: they can look definitive while carrying no date or clear account of how acceptance was checked.
“Best” is especially slippery in this context. It may mean a preferred game selection, a particular account feature or simply a site that once displayed a payment logo. None of those meanings establishes that a UK customer can make a PayPal deposit now. A ranking can help compare operators only after the underlying payment claim has been verified. Otherwise, the order adds polish, not evidence.
The same caution applies to descriptions of “new” PayPal casinos. Newness does not confirm that a payment method is available, and a newly published page does not necessarily mean the operator has recently added PayPal. The wording can describe the page rather than the payment arrangement. I treat those as separate claims.
The point matters at the cashier, not just on a marketing page. A payment logo may refer to a method supported somewhere in a business’s wider operation, while a customer’s own deposit options are presented in the account. A claim about an operator’s general payment capability is therefore weaker than a current, explicit statement that PayPal deposits are available for UK accounts. Even that statement should be read alongside the operator’s terms.
$$LINKCARD casinos-that-accept-siru-mobile-uk$$
There is no sound basis for turning searches for PayPal casinos into a list of “instant banking” sites. Those labels describe different ideas. A mention of instant banking does not establish that PayPal is accepted, and a PayPal reference does not establish that a bank-payment service is involved. Mixing the terms can make a page seem more comprehensive while leaving the actual deposit question unanswered.
The same distinction applies to casinos associated with Bitcoin. A casino’s support for one payment category cannot be used to infer support for another. Payment methods are separate arrangements; one does not act as evidence for the other. A list combining Bitcoin and PayPal casinos may be useful only if each method is confirmed independently, rather than inferred from the operator’s general reputation or branding.
App availability is another separate issue. A casino may have a mobile-friendly site or an app, but that says nothing by itself about which deposit methods the account offers. Nor does a payment method appearing on a desktop page prove that the same option is available in an app. The claim needs to identify the actual deposit route, not merely the device through which the casino can be reached.
From the operator’s side, payment wording has a practical function: it tells customers which routes the business is prepared to process under its current arrangements. A broad phrase such as “multiple payment methods” does not identify any one route. A logo, an old review, or a general statement about payments can all fall short of a direct confirmation. Small distinction. Important consequence.
::: warning-callout
**Attention:** A payment logo or a third-party list is not proof of current acceptance; always verify the method in the operator’s live cashier.
:::
For a reliable comparison, the relevant evidence is the operator’s own current payment information and the options shown in its cashier. If PayPal is not clearly named there as a deposit method, it should not be treated as accepted merely because a third-party page includes the casino in a PayPal list. If the information conflicts, the operator’s current terms are the more useful reference point than a page that does not explain when or how its claim was checked.
This approach does not produce a long list of supposed winners. It produces a more honest answer to the deposit question: acceptance must be established operator by operator, and a general casino recommendation cannot establish it. A payment option should be described as available only when the relevant operator says so clearly for the UK market. Until then, the claim remains unconfirmed—not a dependable basis for choosing where to open or fund an account.

There is no sound basis for treating PayPal as a payment option at every UK online casino, or for assuming that a casino accepts it simply because the name appears in a search result or an old review. Acceptance is an operator-level condition. It has to be established for the particular casino, rather than inferred from the payment method’s general popularity.
That distinction matters because “accepts PayPal” is often used as if it were a permanent feature of a casino. It is not a guarantee that applies across the market. A payment option can be available at one operator and absent at another; a label on a third-party page does not settle what a casino currently offers. I would treat the casino’s own payment information as the relevant point of reference, not a broad claim that PayPal is accepted throughout the UK market.
The same caution applies to lists of the “best” PayPal casinos. A ranking only answers the question if each named operator’s current acceptance is established. Without that, the list may be ranking casinos on other qualities while leaving its central claim unproven. The word “best” does not make payment availability more certain.
$$LINKCARD casinos-that-accept-bank-transfer-uk$$
For anyone asking whether PayPal can be used at online casinos in the UK, the accurate answer is therefore conditional: it depends on the operator, and acceptance should not be assumed. That is not evidence that no casino accepts PayPal; it means a positive claim about a particular casino needs direct confirmation.
There is also a regulatory distinction behind the question. Real-money online casinos serving customers in Great Britain [must hold the relevant UK Gambling Commission licence](https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/about-us/guide/what-we-regulate), regardless of where their equipment is located. A payment logo or a claim about PayPal does not establish that an operator is licensed. Payment availability and legal status are separate checks.
In practice, the wording on a casino’s own site needs to be specific enough to answer whether PayPal is currently offered for that account and market. A general statement that a casino supports online payments is not the same as naming PayPal. Nor does a payment method appearing in an old comparison automatically demonstrate that it remains available. The cashier or current operator terms are the useful evidence; a third-party label is only a lead.
::: info-callout
Payment availability and legal status are separate checks; a claim about PayPal does not establish that an operator holds a UK Gambling Commission licence.
:::
I have seen how easily a payment claim becomes shorthand in casino promotion: a method is mentioned once, then repeated as though it were a market-wide feature. It is not. The only defensible conclusion is narrower: some operators may offer PayPal, but the UK market cannot be described as universally accepting it, and no individual casino should be presented as a confirmed PayPal option without current operator-level confirmation.
So the basic question has no single yes-or-no answer for every casino. PayPal acceptance is not a defining feature of UK online casinos, and a casino’s name in a PayPal list is not enough on its own. Check the operator’s current payment terms and confirm its UK Gambling Commission licence before depositing. Clear evidence, not repetition.
## PayPal cards and payments: the evidence gap
A PayPal card and a PayPal payment are not interchangeable descriptions. One points to a card product; the other suggests a payment route. Neither phrase, by itself, establishes that an online casino accepts PayPal, accepts a particular card, or treats the two as equivalent. I would not turn a familiar payment label into evidence of a working option.
The distinction matters because a payment can be described by its source, its route or the method shown in an operator’s cashier. Those are different things. A card linked to an account does not prove that a casino supports payments through that account. Equally, a reference to PayPal payments does not confirm that every card associated with PayPal can be used there. The terms need to be explicit.
$$LINKCARD casinos-that-accept-pay-n-play-uk$$
“Accepted” is a narrow word. In a cashier, it should mean that the operator currently offers the named method for the relevant transaction and account, subject to its own conditions. It should not be read as confirmation that every related product, card type or funding source will work. Payment labels can sound broader than the actual choice they describe. That is the small print doing its job.
The same caution applies to mobile casinos. A site being designed for a phone does not establish which payment methods it offers. Nor does seeing a card logo or a PayPal reference in general information prove that the option appears in the cashier. The interface and terms must match the claim. Otherwise, the label is only a label.
There is also a UK rule that affects how card-related claims should be read. Remote gambling operators cannot accept credit-card payments for gambling, including credit-card funding routed through a money service business. Operators also cannot accept wallet payments where the wallet allows credit-card funds to be used for gambling. That restriction does not establish whether a particular PayPal product is accepted, or how a specific transaction would be classified. It does mean that “card accepted” is not enough detail to settle the question.
Debit and credit are not interchangeable categories. A claim about a debit card cannot be extended to credit cards, and a reference to a PayPal card cannot safely be treated as a claim about all PayPal payments. The wording may be imprecise; the account rules are not made clearer by guessing what the label intended.
Claims about casinos with no wagering attached to a PayPal payment need the same separation of issues. A payment method’s name does not establish whether a promotion exists or what conditions apply to it. That is a separate matter, and broad wording cannot fill in the terms.
::: danger-callout UK Credit Cards

:::
In practice, I treat payment wording as a starting point, not proof. A casino’s general page, a card reference and a method listed in a cashier are not necessarily saying the same thing. Where the wording does not identify the actual payment route and applicable conditions, the claim remains unresolved. No inference from a card name. No promise hidden in a logo.
## PayPal, slots and casino bonuses
A casino’s payment options, its slot catalogue and its promotions are separate parts of the offer. Seeing PayPal mentioned alongside slots or a welcome bonus does not, by itself, establish that PayPal can fund play or that a PayPal deposit qualifies for an incentive. Those are distinct conditions, and promotional wording can blur them.
I have found it useful to read a bonus as a set of rules attached to a particular offer, not as a general promise about every way of funding an account. The payment method may be available while the promotion has its own eligibility conditions. Conversely, a bonus being displayed on a casino site does not prove that every deposit method is eligible. The terms for the specific offer are what settle the point.
The same separation matters for searches for PayPal slots or games. A slot is a game offered by the casino; PayPal is a payment service. Neither label confirms the other. A game being available in the casino does not show that it can be selected specifically with PayPal, and a payment option appearing in a cashier does not identify which games are available. The account balance, game catalogue and payment rules should not be collapsed into one claim.
$$LINKCARD casinos-that-accept-solana-uk$$
“Best bonus” is advertising language, not a useful answer on its own. What sits behind it may be a deposit match, free spins, or another promotion, each with conditions that determine who can claim it and how it works. Without checking those conditions, a headline cannot establish whether a particular payment method is included. I would not treat a bonus badge as confirmation.
There is also a difference between a promotion being available and a deposit qualifying for it. The offer may depend on the terms attached to that promotion. If those terms do not clearly name PayPal or explain which deposits count, the eligibility should not be assumed. A general statement about casino bonuses cannot fill that gap.
This applies on mobile as well. A casino site may be accessible on a phone, but that says nothing by itself about PayPal support or bonus eligibility on that device. The payment option and the promotion still have to be checked on their own terms.
So the practical distinction is simple: game availability does not prove payment compatibility, and payment availability does not prove bonus eligibility. Each claim needs its own confirmation from the casino’s current information. No shortcut.
## Checking a casino’s payment terms and UK licence
A payment logo on a casino page is not the same as a usable payment option. In my experience, the detail that matters sits in the operator’s own terms and cashier: a method may be mentioned generally without being available for every account or transaction. For PayPal, the operator’s current payment terms should state whether it is accepted for gambling, and the cashier should show whether it is available for that particular account. Neither a brand name nor a general claim that a casino takes PayPal settles those points on its own.
::: pre-bet-checklist Verify Operator Legality
– [ ] Identify the legal operator named in the casino’s footer or terms
– [ ] Check the operator’s licence number against the UK Gambling Commission public register
– [ ] Confirm that the authorised business matches the brand name
:::
The terms also need to be read as terms, not as promotional copy. “Instant” describes a marketing promise unless the operator explains what happens at each stage. A method might appear on an information page while its conditions are set out elsewhere. I look for a clear statement of which payment methods are supported, any relevant account conditions, and whether the wording applies to casino play rather than another service offered by the same business. If the wording is unclear, that uncertainty should not be converted into an assumption of acceptance.
Payment checks sit alongside a separate question: whether the operator is authorised to offer gambling in the relevant part of the UK. The UK Gambling Commission regulates commercial gambling in Great Britain, including [remote gambling offered to consumers there](https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/about-us/guide/what-we-regulate). Its remit applies even when the operator’s key equipment is located elsewhere. In Great Britain, it is the sole regulator for commercial gambling.
The Commission issues [operating licences to businesses](https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/about-us/guide/what-we-regulate) and personal licences to individuals working in relevant roles. For a player, the practical point is the business’s operating licence: a payment method does not establish that a casino is licensed, and a licence does not establish that PayPal is accepted. Those are separate checks.
Before depositing, the operator’s licence number should be checked against the UK Gambling Commission’s public register. The register helps confirm whether the business named on the casino site holds a current licence; the casino’s own footer or terms should identify the legal operator, which may not be the same as the brand name displayed across the site. A mismatch deserves attention rather than a guess.
$$LINKCARD casinos-that-accept-apple-pay-uk$$
I treat the licence check as the baseline, not as a substitute for reading payment conditions. A regulated operator still sets the payment methods it supports, and those details can change. Conversely, a page advertising PayPal does not override the requirement for a valid UKGC operating licence where the service is offered to consumers in Great Britain. Both parts have to line up: the authorised business and the stated payment terms.
This is why claims about UK casinos taking PayPal should be assessed operator by operator, using current wording rather than a logo, an old comparison page or a general description of the brand. The licence tells who is authorised to provide the gambling service. The payment terms tell what the operator says it supports. Different questions.
## Pay-by-mobile as a separate deposit route
Pay by Phone is a different payment route from PayPal, not a way of accessing a PayPal balance. [Boku is one example](/banking-casinos/casinos-that-accept-boku-uk/): a casino deposit is charged to the player’s mobile phone bill. That makes the phone account part of the payment chain, rather than a card or PayPal account.
I treat that distinction as more than a label. A cashier listing Boku says something about that operator’s available deposit methods; it says nothing about whether PayPal is accepted there. The same applies in reverse: finding PayPal in a cashier would not establish that Pay by Phone is available. Payment methods need to be checked individually.
Boku is deposit-only. Casino funds cannot be withdrawn to it, so it does not provide a complete route for moving money both into and out of a gambling account. That matters when comparing alternatives: a method can solve the deposit question while leaving the withdrawal arrangement separate.
::: worked-example Boku Deposit Process
### Method Selection
Select Boku in the casino cashier.
### Transaction Details
Enter the deposit amount and your mobile phone number.
### Confirmation
Confirm the transaction using the provided SMS code.
:::
There is also an indirect route described in a specialist review: Boku can be used to fund a Neteller account, which can then be used at a casino that accepts Neteller. This is not a direct Boku deposit at that casino, and it is not a PayPal transaction. It adds another service to the chain, so the relevant question becomes whether the Neteller route works for the particular account and operator. The review’s description should not be treated as confirmation that every Boku or Neteller user can follow it.
The operational detail is straightforward, but the distinction is easy to miss in promotional language. “Alternative” can mean a different method shown in the cashier, or an indirect way to reach a payment service accepted there. Those are not equivalent. Direct Boku acceptance, Neteller acceptance and PayPal acceptance are separate conditions.
In practice, the cashier is where the operator’s currently available methods are presented. If Boku is absent, its existence elsewhere does not establish availability at that casino. If Neteller appears, that alone does not show that Boku can fund the account. And neither method confirms anything about PayPal. Separate rails.
$$LINKCARD casinos-that-accept-bank-cheque-uk$$
## Depositing with PayPal versus withdrawing casino funds
A casino payment method has two separate jobs: moving money into an account and paying money out. A mention of PayPal in a deposit context does not, on its own, establish that PayPal can receive withdrawals. Nor does a withdrawal claim prove that the same method is available for deposits. The distinction matters because cashiers and payment terms can treat each direction separately.
I would read “deposit and withdrawal” as two claims, not one combined feature. The deposit wording concerns how an account can be funded. The withdrawal wording concerns which payout routes the operator supports, and under what conditions. A payment logo or a general reference to PayPal is not enough to settle both points.
Timing needs the same care. “Instant” and “fast” are promotional descriptions unless the operator defines what they mean and which stage they cover. A payout may involve an operator’s processing step and a separate payment-provider step; a statement about one does not necessarily describe the other. Without a stated, applicable time frame, no reliable withdrawal speed can be inferred.
$$LINKCARD same-day-payout-casino-uk$$
The same restraint applies to searches for PayPal debit withdrawals or direct PayPal payouts. Those phrases describe different arrangements, but none confirms that a particular casino offers them. The cashier and the withdrawal terms need to identify the supported route and any conditions. A deposit option alone cannot do that work.
One useful contrast is Boku: it is a deposit-only method, so casino winnings cannot be withdrawn through it. That restriction belongs to Boku. It should not be transferred to PayPal, or treated as evidence that PayPal withdrawals are available. Payment methods have their own rules.
Claims about withdrawals without verification also need careful reading. A payment method does not establish what checks an operator requires before releasing funds. Deposit access, identity checks and payout arrangements are separate matters; one cannot be inferred from another.
In practice, the useful comparison is not simply whether a casino “takes PayPal”. It is whether its current terms separately describe PayPal deposits and PayPal withdrawals, and whether any stated timing applies to the [withdrawal route](/banking-casinos/fast-withdrawal-casino-uk/) itself. Where that distinction is absent, the claim remains incomplete. A label is not a payout policy.

## What a PayPal deposit claim can—and cannot—confirm
A statement that a casino supports PayPal as a deposit method needs to be checked against the operator’s current cashier or payment terms. The wording alone does not confirm that PayPal is available to every account, or that a particular deposit amount will be accepted. I have seen payment labels treated as if they settled the whole question. They do not.
The practical distinction is between a general mention of PayPal and a deposit option actually presented for the account. A claim about PayPal should therefore identify deposits specifically, rather than leave the payment’s purpose unclear. If the cashier does not show PayPal, a broad reference to the brand is not proof that it can fund that casino account.
The same caution applies to claims about a minimum deposit. A figure is useful only when it comes from the relevant operator’s current payment information; it should not be inferred from another payment method or a general casino description. Terms can also be account-specific, so the cashier is where the claim needs to hold up.
There is a concrete process for Boku, but it is not a PayPal procedure. With Boku, the player selects the method in the casino cashier, enters an amount and mobile number, then confirms the transaction using [an SMS code](/banking-casinos/online-casinos-that-accept-sms-deposits/). That sequence confirms only how a Boku deposit works. It says nothing about whether PayPal is accepted, what PayPal’s deposit minimum might be, or whether a PayPal payment would be available to a particular player.
That separation matters because payment pages often group several methods together. A Boku instruction cannot substantiate a PayPal deposit claim, even when both appear under a cashier’s payment information. Nor does the existence of a card linked to PayPal establish that the casino accepts PayPal itself.
I would treat a PayPal deposit claim as confirmed only when the operator’s own current payment information explicitly presents PayPal for deposits and sets out any relevant conditions. Until then, the claim remains unverified—not a basis for assuming that a deposit will go through. Short version: check the method, not the label.
$$LINKCARD casinos-that-accept-monzo-uk$$
## PayPal and GamStop status are separate questions
A casino’s payment options do not establish whether it is connected to GamStop. PayPal availability, where an operator offers it, describes a payment arrangement; GamStop status is a separate matter. Treating one as evidence of the other is a category error.
That distinction matters because phrases such as “not on GamStop” can sound like a reliable description of an operator when they may simply be part of a sales claim. A PayPal logo or payment option cannot confirm that claim. Nor does the absence of a payment method prove anything about an operator’s self-exclusion arrangements.
In Great Britain, online gambling is legal at sites licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission. Licensed casinos must provide responsible-gambling tools, including self-exclusion. That requirement should not be mistaken for confirmation that a particular operator is registered with GamStop. The two statements describe different things.
I have seen payment methods used as shorthand in promotional copy: a recognisable cashier option is made to stand in for a wider claim about the site. It does not carry that weight. The operator’s terms and the relevant, current information about its self-exclusion arrangements need to be considered independently. A payment label is not a status check.
The same caution applies to claims that a casino is “unaffected” by GamStop or offers PayPal without fees. Those are separate assertions. Neither follows from the other, and a fee claim cannot verify registration status. No particular casino’s GamStop status can be established merely from a reference to PayPal.
For a UK-licensed operator, the licence framework and its required player-protection tools remain relevant regardless of which payment methods appear in the cashier. If gambling has been excluded as part of a self-exclusion decision, looking for a payment route that appears to bypass that decision is not a safe substitute for support. The mechanism matters. So does the boundary.
::: faq
## What are the deposit limits at pay-by-mobile casinos?
Boku deposits are typically limited to about £10 per transaction and £30 per day at network level, though some casinos or networks may allow up to £40 or £50 per transaction. Deposits are made in amounts divisible by ten, and PAYG users are also limited by their remaining phone balance.
—
## Are Boku casinos still available in the UK in 2026?
Yes, a small number of UKGC-licensed casinos still accept Boku deposits, although the list has been shrinking since 2023.
—
## Are there any Boku casinos left in the UK?
Yes. The remaining direct-Boku sites are a small group, including Jackpot Mobile Casino and Peachy Games.
—
## Can a casino deny issuing a promotion if I deposit with Boku?
Yes, promotion eligibility can vary by operator, so a Boku deposit may not qualify for a particular offer. Check the promotion’s terms before depositing; some operators that accept pay-by-phone deposits do allow them to count towards bonus eligibility.
