Most iGaming guides are vague. This one is not — every step here is specific, actionable, and based on how the platform actually works.

Getting Ready

Before you start, make sure you have everything prepared. This will speed up the whole process and prevent unnecessary delays.

  • Valid email address – you will need it for verification and account activation.
  • A smartphone or computer with a stable internet connection – Casino Pelican works perfectly in any browser, and if you want a faster experience, you can install its progressive web app (PWA) directly from the menu.
  • Identity documents – a passport or ID card, and possibly a proof of address (utility bill), for the KYC procedure when withdrawing.
  • Payment method – typically a bank card, e-wallet, or bank transfer; see the payment section below.
  • Reading glasses? Not needed, but knowing the bonus terms is a must.
  • Time estimate: registration takes about 5 minutes, verification another 15–30 minutes.

Registration

Creating an account at Pelican Casino is straightforward. Follow these steps:

  1. Go to the official website of PelicanCasino – just type the address into your browser. You’ll see the registration button in the top right corner.
  2. Click on the “Registrácia” button and fill in the form with your personal data – first name, last name, date of birth, email, and create a strong password.
  3. Choose your preferred currency – for Slovak players, the EUR is the obvious choice.
  4. Read and accept the terms and conditions, and tick the box for responsible gambling (you can change your limits later).
  5. Confirm your email by clicking the link sent to your inbox – without this step, your account remains limited.
  6. Log in to your new account and make your first deposit to activate the welcome bonus (if you want to claim it).
  7. Complete the KYC verification – upload a copy of your ID and a proof of address. This is usually automatic, but you may need to do it manually via the “Moje konto” section.

Wagering Calculation

Now let’s get to the math behind the wagering requirement. Suppose you receive a bonus of 100 EUR with a 35x wagering requirement on the bonus amount only. The formula is:

Wagering amount = Bonus × Wagering multiplier

In this case: 100 EUR × 35 = 3 500 EUR. That is the total amount you must wager before you can withdraw any winnings from the bonus.

But wait – not all games contribute equally to the wagering requirement. Slots usually contribute 100%, while table games like blackjack or roulette might contribute only 10% or even 0%. So if you play slots, every 1 EUR wagered reduces your wagering by 1 EUR. If you play blackjack with a 10% contribution, a 10 EUR bet only counts as 1 EUR towards the 3 500 EUR target. That means you would need to wager 35 000 EUR in blackjack to clear the bonus – a huge difference.

Another practical example: you deposit 50 EUR and get a 100% match bonus (50 EUR bonus). Your wagering requirement is 50 × 35 = 1 750 EUR. If you play a slot with a 96% RTP, the theoretical loss is about 4%, so you would lose around 70 EUR on average during wagering. Keep that in mind – the bonus is not free money unless you are lucky or choose high RTP slots with 97%+.

Herný typ Príspevok k wageringu Príklad: stávka 100 EUR
Automaty (väčšina) 100% 100 EUR sa započíta
Blackjack, ruleta 10% (orientačne) 10 EUR sa započíta
Živé kasíno, poker 0–5% (podľa hry) 0–5 EUR sa započíta

Tip: always check the exact contribution rates in the bonus terms before you start playing.

Deposits & Withdrawals

Funding your account and cashing out your winnings is simple. At Pelican Casino you can use several payment methods, but the exact list depends on your country. Common options include bank cards (Visa, Mastercard), e-wallets like Skrill or Neteller, and bank transfers. Deposits are usually instant, while withdrawals may take up to 24–72 hours after verification.

Minimum deposit is typically 10 EUR, but it might be higher for some methods – check the cashier before you top up. The minimum withdrawal is usually 20 EUR, and there are no max withdrawal limits on winnings from real money play (but bonus winnings may have a cap).

For fast withdrawals, use the same method you deposited with, if possible. The casino may charge a fee for some withdrawal methods – the cashier shows this clearly.

One important tip: before your first withdrawal, complete the KYC procedure. This means sending a copy of your ID, a selfie with the ID, and a utility bill. The process is automated at pelican-casino.sk – just follow the instructions in your profile. Once you are verified, withdrawals are processed within 24 hours, and the money reaches you in a few business days depending on the method.

Licence & Player Protection

PelicanCasino operates under a Curacao licence. This is a common licence for international casinos, but it has certain implications for Slovak players. First, it means that the casino is legally allowed to offer games to players from Slovakia, but it does not have a local Slovak licence. Because of this, your winnings may be subject to local income tax – in Slovakia, gambling winnings are generally exempt from tax, but if the casino is not licensed by the Slovak Ministry of Finance, you might have to declare those winnings. Always consult a tax advisor to be safe.

In terms of player protection, the Curacao licence requires the casino to follow responsible gambling guidelines, but it does not offer the same level of dispute resolution as a Malta or UK licence. In case of a dispute, you can contact the Curacao Gaming Control Board, but the process is slower. Nevertheless, Casino Pelican uses SSL encryption to protect your personal and financial data, and undergoes regular audits by independent testers.

Important: even with a licence, you are responsible for setting limits and playing responsibly. We will cover that in the next section.

Fix It Fast

Here are common issues and how to solve them:

  • Can’t log in? Check your caps lock, reset your password via “Zabudnuté heslo”. If that fails, contact support via live chat.
  • Bonus not credited? Make sure you opted in for the bonus during deposit, and read the terms – sometimes you need to use a bonus code.
  • Withdrawal pending too long? First, check if your KYC is verified. If yes, wait 24 hours; if it takes longer, contact support with your transaction ID.
  • Game doesn’t load? Clear your browser cache, update your browser, or try the PWA app if you are on mobile.
  • Suspicious loss of funds? Check your transaction history in your profile – if you find anything wrong, immediately change your password and contact support.
  • Self-exclusion not working? Contact support directly – they can lock your account manually and set a timeout.

Pro Tips

Responsible gambling is not just a slogan – it is a practical tool you can use to keep your gaming fun and safe. In your player account, you will find several options:

  • Deposit limits – set a daily, weekly, or monthly limit on how much you can deposit. For example, set a monthly limit of 200 EUR to keep your spending under control.
  • Session limits – limit the time you spend playing. You can set a reminder to log off after 1 hour, for example.
  • Self-exclusion – if you feel that gambling is becoming a problem, you can exclude yourself for a specific period (e.g., 1 year). During this time, your account is blocked and you cannot log in.

These tools are there to help you. Do not wait for a problem – set them up today.
