This Is Vegas Casino is themed after the eponymous city, complete with neon lights. Going since 2005, the site has some generous bonuses, but unfortunately, residents of Canada are not permitted to open real money accounts. For more detail on games and other aspects of the site, check out our review. Otherwise, for a list of Canada-friendly gambling sites, click here.
Players from Canada are unable to open real money accounts, but players from elsewhere can take advantage of a 100% welcome bonus in the form of matching an initial deposit up to $1,000. The offer features a 20x wagering requirement, and no upper limit on cashing out. All in all, this is a remarkably generous offer, with an average matching rate, high bonus amount of $1,000, and lower than usual wagering requirement. Completing this offer allows the player to claim 999 free spins on the 10xWins slot (with a withdrawal cap of $350). This couple of bonuses is very generous indeed.
There's also a second deposit offer, with a player's second deposit matched at 200%, up to a bonus limit of $200. This is subject to a 30x wagering requirement, again with no cashout limit. The match rate is better than average, and this is also a good deal although not quite as generous as the first.
Cryptocurrency enthusiasts have their own special introductory bonus if they deposit using BTC (bitcoin). This is a 300% match deposit bonus, although the upper limit isn't specified. After this deal is completed the player can benefit from a 100% cashback bonus on the first deposit, providing a significant incentive for players to use bitcoin.
Players already registered can benefit from daily cashback of between 10% and 30% on the previous day's net losses, the rate varying according to one's VIP level. In addition, 25% cashback is available if a player loses $100 or more between Monday and Sunday the previous week.
Every player who signs up is automatically enrolled in Casino ThisIsVegas' loyalty program. This is a four-tier program, ranging from Default to VIP 3. Daily cashback rates and upper limits improve as one ascends the ranks, with weekly bonuses and other rewards also getting better. Reaching VIP 1 requires 30 days of membership and submission of security documents.
There's a larger than usual selection of welcome bonuses, all of which are on the generous side. Daily cashback is more frequent than the vast majority of sites, and the loyalty program is a common promotion. Overall, the promotions on offer are better than average, but it's always nice to see a no deposit offer which it lacks at present.
There are hundreds of games available in both instant play and download formats, with games provided by Rival.
Slots are divided into classic, video, i-slots, and jackpot categories (with table games, video poker, and specialty games having their own sections). There are only five progressive jackpot slots (including Major Moolah and Strike Gold) which is not a huge number, with 15 i-slots, such as Cosmic Quest (episodes 1 and 2), and Spy Game. The classic and video slots are rather more plentiful, with a few dozen classics and a few score video games including the Egyptian-themed Wishing Cup and fantastical World of Oz.
There are seven video poker games to play, including Jacks Or Better and Joker Poker, and 10 table games, with American and European roulette, craps, baccarat, and blackjack on offer. Specialty games include a quartet of bingo, eight scratch cards, and a little bit of sudoku and keno.
Whilst all the basic table games are covered, there's no live dealer option at all and little variety. Slots are more numerous but the overall numbers are significantly fewer than at most casinos.
There is no mobile-specific information presented on the website. In the meantime, players who are looking for a great mobile casino experience can turn to Mr Green mobile casino. This site is backed with up-to-the-minute software dedicated for playing on mobile devices operating on Android and iOS.
The casino has been going since 2005, and is registered with the Government of Curaçao. It's fair to say that this is not one of the strongest licensing arrangements, although any licence is substantially better than none at all.
There's an almost exactly average range of payment options available for players, with Visa and Mastercard both available for deposits, but only Visa capable of making withdrawals. E-wallets Skrill and Neteller are both capable of transferring money into or out of accounts. Pre-paid methods Paysafecard, Neosurf, and UPayCard can all make deposits, and UPayCard is also capable of receiving withdrawals. Last but not least, the cryptocurrency bitcoin can be used to move money into or out of the casino. All deposits are instant, although withdrawals may take up to a week to process.
As might be expected given the exclusion on players from Canada opening real money accounts CAD is not amongst the currency options, which include GBP, USD, AUD, EUR, ZAR and BTC (bitcoin). In addition, all deposits and withdrawals have a $25 minimum, and there's an upper limit on withdrawals of $500 per day or $1,000 over a seven day period.
Players with queries can contact the customer support team via either e-mail or live chat, on a 24/7 basis, although there is no telephone/call back option.
A mixed bag in this review. The bonuses appear excellent, and the games are fewer in number and less in variety than average. Players from Canada cannot open real money accounts, however, which is going to rule this out for most people (playing for fun may still be possible, but you can also do that at sites where real money is an option too).
