Neteller: an e-wallet long used for online gaming
Neteller is an e-wallet with a long history in online gaming payments, operated by the same group as Skrill. It sits between your bank or card and the cashier, so the gambling site never sees your card details. Its availability at Pelican depends on your country and account and must be checked in the cashier.
Depositing with Neteller
Select Neteller in the cashier, log in or enter your wallet ID and security details, and approve the amount. Funds come from your Neteller balance, which you top up from a card, bank or other source. Check the minimum, the currency and whether a bonus is attached before confirming.
Withdrawing to Neteller
If you deposited with Neteller, withdrawals usually go back to the same wallet. The name on the wallet must match the gaming account. Once the operator approves the request, e-wallet withdrawals often arrive faster than bank transfers, but the operator's processing time comes first.
Currencies and conversion
Neteller balances can be held in several currencies. If your wallet currency, your gaming account currency and your bank currency differ, you may pay for conversion more than once. Keeping them aligned avoids losing small amounts at every step.
| Item | What to check |
|---|---|
| Wallet currency | Same as the gaming account if possible |
| Name | Must match the gaming account |
| Withdrawal route | Usually back to the same wallet |
| Fees | Set by the wallet for loading and cashing out |
Neteller versus cards
A wallet keeps card details off gambling sites and makes withdrawals more predictable than card refunds, which are often limited to the deposited amount. On the other hand it adds an extra account and another set of fees. Whether that trade-off makes sense depends on how often you play.
Budget control
As with any wallet, loading only your gambling budget turns the wallet into a natural limit. On a slot with sharp swings such as Soaked by Seamen, a fixed wallet balance is a simple way to keep a session inside its limits.

Methods and limits depend on the operator and your account — check the cashier. This page describes what to look for, not how to move money to any particular site.
