Your control panel
Tools on your VegasNow account, each set to suit your own budget and routine.
Deposit limits
Put a ceiling on what you can deposit, chosen in advance so the number is fixed before a session starts.
Cooling-off
Take a break from your account for a set period when you want some distance without closing it.
Self-exclusion
Step away for longer, or permanently, when you want a firm stop with VegasNow.
Decline bonuses
Every bonus is optional. Declining one means no wagering target pulling you into longer sessions.
Set the numbers on a quiet day
Limits work best when they are chosen calmly, ideally on the day you open your account rather than halfway through a session. Start with a monthly entertainment budget you would be comfortable spending on a concert or a dinner out, then set your deposit limit to match it.
You can set limits from your account settings, or write to support@vegasnow.com and ask our customer care team to apply them for you. If you are not sure which option suits you, describe what you want to achieve, such as a weekly cap or a month away, and the team will explain how it works on your account.
Bonuses deserve the same thought. A 40× wagering requirement with a seven-day window can encourage longer or more frequent play than you planned. If that sounds like a pressure you would rather avoid, decline the bonus and play with your own balance. The terms are explained on our bonuses page.
Cooling-off and self-exclusion with VegasNow
Cooling-off is a break for a set period. It suits the moment when you notice you have been playing more than you meant to and want time to reset. When the period ends, your account becomes available again.
Self-exclusion is a firmer step for when you want to stop. It closes access to your VegasNow account for a longer period or permanently. Ask our customer care team to set it up, and they will confirm when it is active. If you hold accounts elsewhere, arrange the same with each of them, as an exclusion only applies to the account where it is set.
Signs it has stopped being fun
Be honest with yourself if any of these sound familiar.
- Raising your stakes to win back money you have already lost.
- Playing with money meant for rent, bills or groceries.
- Borrowing money, or selling things, to keep playing.
- Hiding how much you play from the people close to you.
- Feeling restless or irritable on days you are not playing.
- Playing for longer than you planned, again and again.
Free help, any hour
None of those signs makes you a bad person. They are a cue to pause and talk to someone early. Gambling Help Online is free and confidential, available around the clock on 1800 858 858 and through web chat and email at gamblinghelponline.org.au. In New South Wales, GambleAware NSW also offers free counselling.
The players who enjoy VegasNow most are the ones who decide what a night costs before they log in.

VegasNow accounts are for adults aged 18 and over only. If someone close to you is worried about your gambling, or you are worried about theirs, the same services support family and friends.
Quick answers
Common questions about the safer play tools.
How do I set a deposit limit?
Use the limits option in your account settings, or email support@vegasnow.com and ask our customer care team to set one for you.
Is cooling-off the same as self-exclusion?
No. Cooling-off is a break for a set period, after which your account reopens. Self-exclusion is a longer or permanent stop for when you want a firm break.
Can I turn down a bonus?
Yes. Every bonus can be declined, and playing without one means no wagering requirement, no maximum bet rule and no bonus cash-out cap.
Where can I get free help?
Gambling Help Online on 1800 858 858, any time, or at gamblinghelponline.org.au. It is free and confidential.
Does self-exclusion cover other sites?
No. A self-exclusion applies to your VegasNow account. If you play elsewhere, set it up separately with each site.
Where to next
Keep these within reach whenever you play.
