Responsible Gaming at This is Vegas Casino South Africa
This is Vegas Casino South Africa maintains commitment to responsible gambling practices through self-exclusion tools, deposit limits, session management features, and partnerships with South African problem gambling organizations. The platform enforces strict age verification requiring players to be 18 years or older, supports cooling-off periods for temporary account suspension, and provides access to professional counselling resources through the South African Responsible Gambling Foundation and National Gambling Board.
Self-Control Tools
Deposit limits allow players to cap daily, weekly, or monthly ZAR deposits. Set limits through account settings or contact customer support for activation; reductions apply immediately, increases take 72 hours to prevent impulsive decisions during heightened emotional states. Session time limits automatically log you out after predetermined durations (30, 60, 90, 120 minutes). Loss limits prevent further deposits once you reach specified loss thresholds within set timeframes—daily, weekly, or monthly tracking available.
Reality checks display pop-up notifications showing session duration and net win/loss figures at intervals you configure. These reminders help maintain awareness of time spent gambling and financial impact. Cooling-off periods temporarily suspend account access for 24-72 hours without full self-exclusion—useful when you need a short break but don't want permanent restrictions. Request cooling-off through live chat; support activates it immediately.
Self-exclusion options range from 24 hours to permanent account closure. During self-exclusion periods, you cannot deposit, wager, or access your account; the restriction cannot be reversed until the chosen timeframe expires. Contact support to activate self-exclusion—they process requests within one hour typically. Permanent self-exclusion requires written confirmation; the support team guides you through this process whereby your account closes indefinitely.
Recognizing Problem Gambling
Warning signs include spending more money than you can afford, chasing losses by depositing repeatedly after losing sessions, gambling to escape personal problems or negative emotions, lying to family members about gambling activities, and neglecting work or family responsibilities to gamble. Financial indicators: borrowing money to gamble, selling possessions to fund deposits, missing bill payments due to gambling expenditures.
Behavioral changes like mood swings related to gambling outcomes, irritability when unable to gamble, preoccupation with planning next gambling session, and increasing bet sizes to achieve the same excitement level suggest developing problems. If you recognize these patterns, contact support immediately to discuss account restrictions or access professional help resources.
