Playing Safe on This Is Vegas: Tools That Keep You in Control
Deposit limits, timeouts and self-exclusion, plus direct access to Gambling Help Online, so your time on the pokies floor always stays your call.
Setting Your Own Limits at This Is Vegas
Last updated: September 29, 2026
Nevada-style pokies and live tables are meant to be entertainment, not a budget line. This page walks through the actual tools in your account settings, the 18+ rule we enforce without exception, and where to get real help if gambling stops feeling fun.
Why This Page Exists
We built This Is Vegas around the buzz of Nevada casino floors: bright pokies, live dealer rooms, VIP tables. None of that works if a player's session runs longer or deeper than they meant it to. Every account on This Is Vegas ships with limit-setting tools switched on and visible, not buried three menus deep. This page explains what each tool does, how fast changes take effect, and how to reach Gambling Help Online if you or someone close to you needs support beyond what settings can offer.
Deposit Limits
From your account dashboard you can set a daily, weekly or monthly deposit cap in AUD. Once you hit that cap, the cashier blocks further PayID, POLi, card or crypto deposits until the period resets. Lowering a limit takes effect immediately. Raising one is deliberately slower: requests to increase a deposit limit are held for a 24 hour cooling-off period before they go live, so a spontaneous decision on a big night doesn't override a limit you set with a clear head.
- Daily, weekly and monthly deposit caps, set independently
- Instant effect when you lower a limit
- 24 hour delay before any increase to a deposit limit applies
- Limits apply across PayID, POLi, Visa, Mastercard, Bitcoin, Tether and Neosurf deposits alike
Timeouts and Self-Exclusion
If you just need a breather, a timeout locks your account from 24 hours up to six weeks. You can't log in, deposit or play during that window, and there's no early opt-out once it's set. For something longer, self-exclusion closes your This Is Vegas account for a minimum period you choose, from six months up to a permanent, non-reversible closure. During self-exclusion we stop sending you marketing emails, bonus offers and reactivation prompts. Reach out to our support team to start either process. If you're weighing this option, it's worth reading it alongside our Bonus and VIP Club pages first, since active promotions or VIP tiers may be paused or forfeited once self-exclusion begins.
The 18+ Rule, No Exceptions
You must be 18 or older to register, deposit or play on This Is Vegas. This is a firm line, not a suggestion, and it applies across every game in our library, from Betsoft slots to Rival Powered live tables. We run identity checks as part of account verification, and any account found to belong to someone under 18 is closed immediately, with deposited funds returned and no games activity honoured. If you're setting up an account for a family member or on a shared device, keep your login private and log out fully when a session ends.

You don't need to be in crisis to call. Plenty of players use it just to talk through their habits before things get serious.
Signs Worth Checking In On
There's no single moment that marks a problem, but a few patterns are worth noticing in yourself or a housemate: chasing losses with bigger deposits, borrowing to top up your PayID transfer, losing track of time in live dealer rooms, or feeling irritable when logged out. None of these mean you're beyond help. They're exactly the point where a deposit limit, a timeout, or a call to Gambling Help Online makes the most difference.

Setting Your Own Limits at This Is Vegas
How do I set a deposit limit on my This Is Vegas account?
Log in, go to Account Settings, then Responsible Gaming Tools. You can set a daily, weekly or monthly cap in AUD. Lowering it applies straight away; raising it takes effect after a 24 hour cooling-off period.
Can I reopen my account early once I self-exclude?
No. Self-exclusion runs for the minimum period you select, from six months up to permanent closure, and we cannot reverse it early even if you ask support directly. Choose a shorter timeout instead if you want flexibility.
What happens to bonus funds if I self-exclude?
Active bonus balances and free spins are forfeited once self-exclusion is confirmed, in line with the terms on our [Bonus](/bonus/) page. Any withdrawable real-money balance is still paid out to you.
Is Gambling Help Online affiliated with This Is Vegas?
No. Gambling Help Online is an independent Australian support service, free and confidential, reachable on 1800 858 858 or at gamblinghelponline.org.au. We list it here because it's the right first call for support beyond our own account tools.
Does This Is Vegas verify my age before I can play?
Yes. Registration and withdrawal both require identity verification, and you must be 18 or older to hold an active account. Accounts found to belong to a minor are closed immediately.
