Account & Registration

Can UK players legally play at Royal Coala Casino?

+

Royal Coala Casino operates under international gaming licenses and accepts UK players. However, UK players should be aware that the casino is not licensed by the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC). While it's not illegal for UK residents to play at offshore casinos, they won't have the same consumer protections as UKGC-licensed operators.

We recommend UK players carefully consider this before registering and always gamble responsibly within their means.

What documents do I need to verify my UK account?

+

UK players need to provide the following documents for account verification:

  • Identity Verification: UK passport, driving licence, or national ID card
  • Address Verification: Recent utility bill, bank statement, or council tax bill (dated within 3 months)
  • Payment Method Verification: Screenshot or photo of the card/payment method used for deposits

All documents must be clear, unedited, and show all four corners. Verification typically takes 24-72 hours to complete.

What is the minimum age to play at Royal Coala Casino in the UK?

+

The minimum age to play at Royal Coala Casino is 18 years old, which aligns with UK gambling laws. The casino employs strict age verification procedures and may request additional documentation to confirm a player's age.

Underage gambling is taken very seriously, and any accounts found to belong to minors will be immediately closed with funds confiscated.

Can I have multiple accounts as a UK player?

+

No, Royal Coala Casino operates a strict one-account-per-person policy. UK players are only permitted to have one account per household, IP address, and payment method.

Creating multiple accounts (also known as "multi-accounting") is prohibited and will result in account closure and forfeiture of funds and bonuses.

Banking & Payments

  • Bank Transfers: Available for withdrawals (£100 minimum)

All transactions are processed in GBP, and the casino automatically converts other currencies at competitive exchange rates.

How long do withdrawals take to UK bank accounts?

+

Withdrawal processing times for UK players vary by payment method:

  • Bank Transfers: 3-5 business days after approval
  • Cryptocurrencies: 24-48 hours after approval
  • E-wallets: 24-48 hours after approval

All withdrawals require account verification and may take an additional 24-72 hours for internal processing before being sent to your chosen payment method.

Are there any fees for UK players on deposits or withdrawals?

+

Royal Coala Casino does not charge fees for deposits or withdrawals. However, UK players should be aware that:

  • Your bank may charge international transaction fees for card deposits
  • Cryptocurrency networks may charge network fees (gas fees)
  • Currency conversion fees may apply if your bank account is not in GBP

We recommend checking with your bank or payment provider about potential charges before making transactions.

Bonuses & Promotions

Is the welcome bonus available to UK players?

+

Yes, UK players are eligible for the Royal Coala Casino welcome bonus of 200% up to £1,500 on their first deposit. The bonus terms are:

  • Wagering requirement: 45x bonus amount
  • Time limit: 45 days to complete wagering
  • Eligible games: Slots only
  • Maximum bet: £5 per spin while bonus is active

How do wagering requirements work for UK players?

+

Wagering requirements specify how much you must bet before withdrawing bonus winnings. For example, if you receive a £100 bonus with 45x wagering, you must place £4,500 in bets before withdrawing.

Important points for UK players:

  • Only eligible games contribute to wagering (usually slots at 100%)
  • Maximum bet limits apply (typically £5 per spin)
  • Wagering must be completed within the specified time limit
  • Your account shows real-time wagering progress

Can I withdraw my deposit immediately after claiming a bonus?

+

Once you claim a bonus, both your deposit and bonus funds become subject to the wagering requirements. You cannot withdraw your deposit until you either:

  • Complete the full wagering requirement, or
  • Cancel the bonus (which will also remove any bonus winnings)

This is standard practice across online casinos to prevent bonus abuse. Always read the terms carefully before claiming any bonus.

Are there any games restricted for UK players when using bonuses?

+

When playing with bonus funds, UK players should note the following restrictions:

  • Allowed games: Most slot games contribute 100% to wagering
