Gambling should always be treated as entertainment and not as a way to make money. Pelican Casino provides gaming services intended for enjoyment; players should understand the risks involved and make informed decisions about how much time and money they choose to invest.
This Responsible Gaming policy explains our approach to player welfare, the tools available to help maintain control, and where to find independent support. Our aim is to minimise harm while allowing customers to enjoy games responsibly.
Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling
Pelican Casino is committed to operating in a manner that promotes safe and responsible play. We recognise that most players gamble recreationally, but a minority may develop problems that require intervention. Our objective is to identify those situations early and provide practical options to reduce harm.
We train staff to respond to signs of problematic play, support the use of player protection tools, and maintain clear policies that prioritise customer wellbeing while respecting user privacy.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can take many forms and may not always be obvious. Common signs include spending more time or money than intended, chasing losses, neglecting personal responsibilities, and changes in mood or behaviour related to play.
If you or someone close to you shows these signs, consider using the self-assessment and limit-setting resources described below and seek external professional support if needed.
Self-Assessment and Limits
We encourage every player to reflect on their behaviour and use the controls provided. Common measures that help reduce risk include:
- Deposit limits - set maximum amounts you can add to your account over daily, weekly, or monthly periods.
- Loss limits - restrict the total losses allowed in a specified timeframe to keep spending predictable.
- Reality checks - periodic pop-up reminders or account summaries that inform you how long you have been playing.
- Cooling-off periods - short-term breaks from play to reassess behaviour without closing your account permanently.
- Self-exclusion - a longer-term option to block access to gaming services for a defined period or indefinitely.
Responsible Gaming Tools
Pelican Casino provides multiple tools to help players maintain control. These features are accessible from your account settings and customer support can assist with configuration.
- Customisable deposit and loss limits, adjustable through your account dashboard.
- Session time limits and automatic reality-check notifications during play.
- Temporary cooling-off options that suspend access for a minimum specified period.
- Self-exclusion mechanisms that prevent access for fixed or indefinite durations, with clear reactivation procedures.
- Account transaction histories and activity reports to review spending patterns.
Support and Assistance
If gambling becomes difficult to control, we encourage players to seek professional help promptly. Pelican Casino can provide account-based support and refer you to independent services for clinical and financial assistance.
For account-related support contact [email protected]. For independent help, consider the following external resources:
- Gambling Help Online - an independent counselling and support service.
- Australian Government - Gambling Support Services - a compilation of national and local support options.
The National Gambling Helpline (1800 858 858) offers free and confidential support for people affected by gambling. These organisations are independent external support services and are not operated by Pelican Casino.
Underage Gambling
Only individuals aged 18 or older may use the website. Pelican Casino takes age restrictions seriously and implements verification processes to prevent underage access.
Parental Controls
Parents and guardians concerned about underage access should use device-level and network-level controls as well as available parental control features on gaming platforms. Blocking software, supervised profiles, and restricting payment methods are practical steps to limit access by minors.
Tips for Staying in Control
Practical habits help keep play enjoyable and within limits. Consider the following guidance:
- Set a strict entertainment budget and never gamble money you need for essentials.
- Use deposit and session limits before you start playing.
- Avoid chasing losses; accept that losses are part of gambling risk.
- Take regular breaks and schedule non-gambling activities.
- Monitor your play with activity reports and be honest about changes in behaviour.
- Talk to friends, family, or a professional if gambling causes stress or financial strain.
