The Vegas Now loyalty programme turns real-money play into two kinds of points: redeemable points you exchange for bonuses in the Loyalty Store, and status points that move you up seven levels named after Las Vegas venues, from Golden Glimmer at the start to Bella Vista at the top. Above the levels sits Sin City, our VIP lounge, which works by selection rather than by points. This page sets out the earning rates by game type with worked examples, the published exchange rows, the 40× wagering that applies to every exchanged bonus, what Sin City members receive and how selection works.
How the Vegas Now loyalty programme works
Points are earned on real-money wagers, and the rate depends on the type of game. Slots earn the fastest: one redeemable point and one status point for every $25 wagered. Roulette earns one point per $100, and blackjack and baccarat earn one point per $250. The two kinds of points do different jobs. Redeemable points are a balance you spend in the Loyalty Store. Status points are a running total that decides your level, and your level in turn decides the exchange rate you get in the store.
| Game type | Real-money wagering per point | Points from $1,000 wagered |
|---|---|---|
| Slots | $25 (one redeemable and one status point) | 40 |
| Roulette | $100 | 10 |
| Blackjack | $250 | 4 |
| Baccarat | $250 | 4 |
Three features of the design are worth noticing before you plan anything around it. Points follow turnover, not results, so a losing session and a winning session of the same size earn the same points. Slots earn four times faster than roulette and ten times faster than blackjack or baccarat per dollar wagered. And points are tied to real-money play, so the wagering that clears a bonus and the wagering that earns points are counted on different ledgers.
Loyalty levels and status thresholds
There are seven named levels, several of them split into sub-tiers marked I, II and III. The thresholds published on our programme page are reproduced below, with the slot turnover each represents at the published rate of one status point per $25. The full ladder, including the steps between Golden Glimmer III and Gondola Grand I, is shown inside your account, and we have not filled in rows the programme page does not publish.
| Level | Status points | Slot turnover at $25 per point |
|---|---|---|
| Golden Glimmer I | Starting level | None |
| Golden Glimmer II | 600 | $15,000 |
| Golden Glimmer III | 2,000 | $50,000 |
| Gondola Grand I | 500,000 | $12,500,000 |
| Julius Palace III | 3,000,000 | $75,000,000 |
| Bella Vista | 5,000,000 | $125,000,000 |
The third column is the honest way to read the ladder. Golden Glimmer II and III are reachable for a regular slots player over months. Gondola Grand I and everything above it represent turnover that most players will never approach, and we would rather say so than let a level name suggest otherwise. Every account starts at Golden Glimmer I, and Parisian Palace Las Vegas, which appears in the Loyalty Store rows below, sits between the Golden Glimmer tiers and the top of the ladder.
Because roulette and blackjack earn more slowly, the same thresholds take four and ten times as much turnover respectively on those games: Golden Glimmer II is $60,000 of roulette wagering or $150,000 of blackjack wagering, against $15,000 on slots.
Earning rates by game type: worked examples
The table applies the published rates to four session sizes. Amounts are real-money wagers, and the figures are exact at these sizes because each is a multiple of $250.
| Real-money wagered | Slots | Roulette | Blackjack or baccarat |
|---|---|---|---|
| $500 | 20 points | 5 points | 2 points |
| $1,000 | 40 points | 10 points | 4 points |
| $2,500 | 100 points | 25 points | 10 points |
| $5,000 | 200 points | 50 points | 20 points |
In game terms: $100 of real-money spins on Gates of Olympus earns four points; $100 of straight-up and outside bets on Lightning Roulette earns one point; and a $250 evening at live blackjack earns one point. Reaching the 200-point minimum exchange in the Loyalty Store takes $5,000 of slot wagering, $20,000 of roulette wagering or $50,000 of blackjack wagering.
The points scale and the bonus-contribution scale are different and should not be confused. For bonus wagering, slots count at 100% (with listed exceptions), roulette at 25%, blackjack and game shows at 10% and baccarat at 0%. For points, baccarat earns at the same rate as blackjack, one point per $250, even though it contributes nothing to a bonus requirement. The welcome bonus page works through the contribution side with the same game examples.
The Loyalty Store: exchange rows and what they are worth
Redeemable points are exchanged for bonus funds in the Loyalty Store. The minimum exchange is 200 points for a $5 bonus at the Golden Glimmer level, and the rate improves as you move up. The rows published on our programme page are below, with the value of each point worked out.
| Level | Points | Bonus | Value per point |
|---|---|---|---|
| Golden Glimmer | 200 | AUD 5 | 2.5 cents |
| Golden Glimmer (saved) | 2,000 | AUD 60 | 3 cents |
| Parisian Palace Las Vegas | 750 | AUD 20 | About 2.7 cents |
| Bella Vista | 100,000 | AUD 5,000 | 5 cents |
The programme page gives its own example at Golden Glimmer: exchange in lots of 200 points for $5 each, or save 2,000 points and take $60. Ten lots of 200 produce $50, so saving the same 2,000 points yields $10 more. The trade-off is time: 2,000 points is $50,000 of slot turnover, and a player who prefers smaller bonuses sooner gives up that $10 for the convenience.
At the top of the ladder the rate doubles. Bella Vista’s 100,000 points for $5,000 is 5 cents a point against 2.5 cents at the entry level, which is the concrete meaning of “higher levels get better exchange rates”. Put another way, the same $2,500,000 of slot turnover that earns 100,000 points is worth $2,500 in $5 lots at Golden Glimmer and $5,000 in one exchange at Bella Vista.
40× wagering on exchanged bonuses
A bonus bought with points is a bonus, not cash. It carries 40× wagering under our general bonus terms, dated 26 February 2024, along with the other defaults: seven days to complete the wagering, a maximum bet of AUD 8 while it is active, the game contributions above and the one-active-bonus rule. The table turns each published exchange into its requirement.
| Exchange | Bonus | 40× wagering | Daily pace over seven days |
|---|---|---|---|
| 200 points | $5 | $200 | $29 |
| 750 points | $20 | $800 | $115 |
| 2,000 points | $60 | $2,400 | $343 |
| 100,000 points | $5,000 | $200,000 | $28,572 |
Two practical consequences follow. First, do not exchange points while another bonus is active: the exchanged bonus queues behind it, and its seven-day clock is the thing you least want running while you cannot play it. Finish or decline the active bonus first; our weekly promotions page explains how reloads and the one-bonus rule fit around each other. Second, size the exchange to the week you have. A $60 bonus needs $2,400 of qualifying turnover in seven days; if that pace is not realistic, $5 lots cleared one at a time are the better use of the same points.
Contributions apply exactly as they do to any other bonus. The $200 requirement on a $5 exchange is $200 of slot play, $800 of roulette, $2,000 of blackjack or game shows, and cannot be cleared on baccarat. The default AUD 5,000 cap on deposit-bonus winnings and the right to decline a bonus come from the same general terms, which the bonuses overview sets out in full.
Sin City: the Vegas Now VIP lounge
Sin City is separate from the loyalty levels. Levels are automatic and arithmetical: wager, earn status points, move up. Sin City is a lounge you are invited into, and membership comes with a published set of benefits rather than a published points price.
- Higher betting limits than the standard account.
- Larger and faster withdrawals.
- A dedicated VIP account manager.
- Rewards for milestones and tournament wins.
- Personalised gifts.
- VIP-only tournaments and promotions.
- Invitations to VIP events.
- A dedicated team available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The withdrawal benefit is the one most members ask about, so it is worth being precise. The standard AU withdrawal table runs from AUD 300 to 6,000 for Inpay, PayAnyBank and wire transfer and AUD 30 to 4,000 for MiFinity, and our general terms allow VIP status to carry different withdrawal or daily limits at our discretion. That is a published possibility, not a published figure, and verification, payment methods in your own name and the three-times deposit wagering rule apply to VIP accounts exactly as they do to everyone else. The withdrawals page sets out the standard limits.
How VIP selection works
Our VIP Lounge page says members are selected on the basis of dedication and regular activity, and that players can contact Vegas Now about VIP access. There is no published points total that triggers an invitation, and reaching a particular loyalty level does not automatically open the lounge. The two systems run side by side: the levels reward volume mechanically, while Sin City is a judgement about a player’s overall relationship with us.
If you want to be considered, ask. A message to our support team from your account is the published route, and the team can tell you whether your account is being reviewed and what the next step is. Regular activity, as the lounge page puts it, is about consistency over time rather than a single large deposit, and an account that is verified, in good standing and uses payment methods in its own name is the sensible starting point for any review.
What selection does not change is the rulebook. A VIP bonus is still a bonus under the general terms, with 40× wagering, a seven-day life, the AUD 8 maximum bet and the one-bonus rule unless the individual offer says otherwise. Higher limits and a personal manager change the experience of the account, not the arithmetic of a promotion.
Responsible play and loyalty points
A loyalty programme rewards turnover, and turnover is money wagered, not money won. The thresholds on this page make the point starkly: the 600 status points that open Golden Glimmer II are $15,000 of slot wagering, and a $5 bonus costs $5,000 of real-money play. Points should be a by-product of play you would have done anyway, never a reason to play longer or stake more, and a level you are “nearly at” is not a reason to make another deposit.
You must be 18 or over to hold an account. Deposit limits and self-exclusion are available inside your account and apply regardless of loyalty level or VIP status. If gambling is causing you or someone close to you harm, Gambling Help Online offers free, confidential support around the clock on 1800 858 858. Our responsible gambling page explains the tools step by step.

No. It is bonus funds with 40× wagering, seven days to complete it, an AUD 8 maximum bet and the standard game contributions. A $5 exchange means $200 of qualifying turnover.
What are the loyalty levels?
Seven levels named after Las Vegas venues, starting at Golden Glimmer I. Published thresholds include Golden Glimmer II at 600 status points, Golden Glimmer III at 2,000, Gondola Grand I at 500,000, Julius Palace III at 3,000,000 and Bella Vista at 5,000,000.
How do I get into the Sin City VIP lounge?
Members are selected on dedication and regular activity, and you can contact us about access through support. There is no published points threshold, and loyalty level alone does not grant entry.
Do VIPs get higher withdrawal limits?
Our terms allow VIP status to carry different withdrawal or daily limits at our discretion, and the lounge lists larger and faster withdrawals among its benefits. No specific VIP figure is published, and verification still applies.
