Safer play
Put your wellbeing first
Gambling is entertainment, not income. It can affect your finances, mood and relationships, so ask for help before problems grow.
Protect essentials
Keep rent, food, bills and savings separate from any money intended for play.
Talk to someone
A trusted person or support service can help you pause, reflect and decide what to do next.
Know the risks
Understand the risks before playing
- Casino results cannot provide a dependable income.
- Trying to recover losses can lead to greater spending.
- Borrowing, hiding play or using essential funds are reasons to stop.
- Promotions and free spins may include conditions and do not remove the risk of losing money.
In Switzerland, formal gambling exclusion may involve Spielsperre and the ESBK. Check the applicable Swiss process directly. ESBK information ↗.
Spending controls
Pelican deposit limits and protecting your budget
Set your boundary first
Review the deposit and spending controls shown in your Pelican Casino account. A limit is a ceiling, not a target.
- Keep essential money safe and never borrow for gambling.
- Check when a changed limit takes effect.
- Confirm whether a control covers deposits, losses or another activity.
- If a limit is hard to follow, stop and seek independent support.

- Step 1
Choose your stopping point

- Step 2

Warning signs
Signs that gambling may be causing harm
01
Trying to win back losses

03
Everyday life affected
Poor sleep, secrecy, arguments or putting gambling before work and relationships deserve attention.

Pelican Casino Responsible Gambling in Switzerland
Pelican Casino responsible gambling: keep play manageable
Pelican Casino responsible gambling starts with treating casino play as paid entertainment rather than income. Use only money you can afford to lose and decide your CHF budget before opening slots or other games.
Pelican Casino players should separate gambling from rent, bills and food. Do not chase losses, borrow to continue or play when distressed, exhausted or affected by alcohol.
- Choose a personal CHF spending limit before playing.
- Set a stopping time and leave when it arrives.
- Take regular breaks away from the screen.
- Track deposits and withdrawals to keep spending visible.
- Never raise your budget to recover losses.
Pelican Casino deposit limits and safer gambling tools
Pelican Casino deposit limits can help manage money entering your account. If deposit, loss, wagering or session controls are available, set them before playing within your personal budget.
Check the current Pelican Casino account tools and conditions on the official site, as availability and operation may change. If reducing a limit is not immediate, stop playing and contact support.
Pelican Casino safer gambling through breaks
Pelican Casino safer gambling includes pausing whenever play feels difficult to manage. A longer break may suit you if you are playing more often, for longer or with more money than planned.
Use a break to remove gambling reminders, review your bank activity and speak with someone you trust. Do not use another person’s account to continue playing.
Pelican Casino self exclusion and Spielsperre
Pelican Casino self exclusion is a stronger step when you want to stop rather than reduce play. The current process, duration options and account consequences are not published on the official site, so confirm them with Pelican Casino support and check the terms.
In Switzerland, Spielsperre is associated with the ESBK. Contact the ESBK for information about the relevant Swiss process; a closed Pelican Casino account alone may not cover every gambling service.
Pelican responsible gambling support in Switzerland
Pelican responsible gambling includes seeking help early if gambling affects finances, relationships, work, sleep or mental health. SOS Spielsucht and Sucht Schweiz offer free support and information in Switzerland.
