Returning to Pelican Casino after a long break
Most players wonder whether the account gives them real control over their money and their time once they are in.
Step away with a cooling-off period
Your account screen puts the responsible gambling tools in one place, so you can set limits before you play. Deposit limits cap how much money goes into the account. Session reminders show how long you have been playing, and reality checks give you a fresh look at your activity. A cooling-off period lets you step away for a set time, while self-exclusion blocks access for longer. The minimum self-exclusion period is three months and cannot be shortened, and you can register on BetStop, the national register operated by the Australian Government through ACMA. Registration takes about five minutes at betstop.gov.au, and a support person can be nominated. On a phone, the account runs in the mobile browser, because there is no app to install.
Pick your offer at the deposit step
The cashier is where money enters your account once you are signed in. The smallest deposit is A$11. Pick from eleven payment methods, including PayID, POLi, Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay and Skrill. Bonus offers are chosen in the cashier at the moment you deposit. There are three offers: a welcome offer, a weekly reload and cashback on the week's net losses, which is paid on Monday. The welcome and reload offers each start from that same A$11 deposit. Each offer carries its own wagering and validity period, so read the terms before you claim. Money from an offer stays subject to its wagering terms, so check them before you withdraw. The cashier also works in the mobile browser, because the site has no app to install.
Sign out before you leave a shared device
When the screen drops you back at the sign-in page, the cause may be a device someone else has used. Sign out whenever you step away from a shared computer or phone, and do not keep the account open on a device others use. A session left open on a shared device is the easiest way for someone else to get in. Never share your password, because the operator never asks for it, not in chat or by phone. If you did not sign yourself out and suspect someone else has access, change your password straight away. Pelican Casino N.V. holds licence OGL/2011/2174/388 from the Gaming Control Board Curaçao, so confirm that licence before you enter any details.
Confirm your access before you withdraw
The withdrawal option sits behind your sign-in, so a working sign-in is the first step to any payout. The smallest withdrawal is A$28, and the largest is A$56,900. Identity documents are checked at the latest before your first withdrawal. Payout speed depends on the method: a payout can take as little as four minutes, but card payouts take fifty-eight hours. Sign in and confirm the account works before you request a payout, so a sign-in problem does not hold up money you are expecting. Have photo ID, proof of address and a payment card image ready, since these are the documents the check asks for. Plan your payout around both speeds rather than assuming one.
Registered email address, new password
The sign-in page leads to a password reset, and the link goes to the email address you registered with. Open that link and follow the steps in the email to set a new password, then return to sign in. If the email never arrives, check the spam folder before you try again. The identity check is separate from recovery and can take fifty-nine hours, so plan around it. If the reset still fails, contact live chat or call +61 84 370 0503, or write to [email protected]. Support is available in English, German and French. Recovery goes only to the address you registered, so a different inbox will not receive the link.
