Privacy Policy

This policy explains how paybyphonebingo.co.uk collects, uses and protects information when you visit. We’re an independent affiliate guide, not a bingo operator, so we hold very little about you, and we’d rather you knew exactly what.

Last updated: 24 June 2026

Who We Are

This website, paybyphonebingo.co.uk (“we”, “us”, “our”), is an independent editorial guide to UK pay by phone bingo sites. We compare UKGC-licensed, GamStop-participating brands that accept phone-bill deposits via Fonix. We are the data controller for the limited personal data processed through this site, and we operate from Leeds, United Kingdom.

If you have any question about this policy or your data, email us at hello@paybyphonebingo.co.uk.

What We Collect

We deliberately keep data collection to a minimum. We do not run user accounts, and we never ask you to register or deposit through this site.

  • Analytics data. Privacy-conscious, aggregated statistics such as pages viewed, approximate region and device type, used to understand which guides are useful.
  • Cookies and similar technologies. Small files that help the site work and, where you consent, measure usage and attribute affiliate referrals.
  • Information you send us. If you email hello@paybyphonebingo.co.uk, we hold your message and address only to reply.

We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18, and this site is intended only for adults.

Cookies

Cookies fall into a few groups on this site. Essential cookies keep the pages working and remember your privacy choices. Analytics cookies help us measure traffic in aggregate. Affiliate cookies may be set when you click a link to a bingo brand, so the operator can credit the referral.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the site behave, but you can always read every guide without consenting to non-essential cookies.

Affiliate Disclosure

paybyphonebingo.co.uk is an affiliate publisher. Some links to bingo brands are affiliate links, marked across the site with an #AD disclosure. If you click one and sign up, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

This commercial relationship never influences our ratings, our rankings or the facts we publish. The Fonix fee, the £10 minimum, the £30 daily cap and the one-way withdrawal rail are reported the same whether a brand pays us or not. When you follow an affiliate link, the destination operator becomes the data controller for whatever you do on their site, we’d encourage you to read their own privacy policy.

How We Use Data & Who We Share It With

We process your data under the UK GDPR on the basis of your consent (for non-essential cookies and analytics) and our legitimate interests (running and improving a free editorial site, and responding to your messages). We use data only to operate the site, measure its performance and reply to enquiries.

We do not sell your personal data. We share limited information only with trusted service providers that help us run the site, such as our hosting and analytics providers, and with affiliate networks when you choose to click through to a brand. These providers act under their own privacy obligations.

Your Rights

Under UK data protection law you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to ask us to correct or erase it, to object to or restrict our processing, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any of these, email hello@paybyphonebingo.co.uk and we’ll respond within the statutory timeframe.

If you’re unhappy with how we’ve handled your data, you can complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk. We retain personal data only for as long as it’s needed for the purpose it was collected, and we may update this policy from time to time, with the date at the top reflecting the latest version.
