Responsible Gambling at Boho Casino
Boho Casino is committed to providing a safe, fair, and enjoyable environment for all players at bohoscasino.org. As part of that commitment, the casino offers a comprehensive suite of responsible gambling tools designed to help Australian players maintain control over their gaming activity. This page explains every tool available, how to use it, and where to find additional support if gambling is affecting you or someone close to you.
Why Responsible Gambling Matters
For the vast majority of players, online casino gaming is an entertaining leisure activity. However, gambling can become problematic for some people, leading to financial stress, relationship difficulties, and mental health challenges. Boho Casino recognises these risks and has built its responsible gambling framework to make it straightforward for players to set boundaries, take breaks, and seek help — all from within their account at bohoscasino.org.
Problem gambling is characterised by difficulty controlling the urge to gamble despite negative consequences. Early warning signs include chasing losses, hiding gambling activity from family, borrowing money to fund gambling, and feeling anxious or irritable when not playing. If any of these signs apply to you, Boho Casino encourages you to use the tools below or contact a professional support service immediately.
Responsible Gambling Tools Available at Boho Casino
Deposit Limits
Deposit limits allow you to cap the total amount you can deposit into your Boho Casino account over a chosen period. You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits from the responsible gambling section of your account. Increases to a deposit limit take effect after a 24-hour cooling period, while reductions take effect immediately — a deliberate design choice that prioritises your protection.
Bet Limits
Bet limits allow you to restrict the maximum stake you can place on any single wager across pokies, table games, and live casino. Setting a per-bet maximum helps you play within a comfortable budget and prevents impulsive high-stakes decisions during losing streaks.
Loss Limits
Loss limits cap the total amount you can lose over a defined period — daily, weekly, or monthly. Once your loss limit is reached, Boho Casino will prevent further wagers until the limit period resets. Like deposit limits, loss limit reductions take effect immediately, while increases are subject to a 24-hour review period.
Session Time Limits
Session time limits restrict the duration of each playing session at bohoscasino.org. When your session limit is reached, you will be automatically logged out. This feature encourages regular breaks and prevents extended, unfocused play — a known risk factor for problem gambling.
Reality Checks
Reality check notifications are periodic on-screen reminders that appear during your session. You can configure them to trigger at set intervals (for example, every 30 or 60 minutes), reminding you how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered or won or lost during that session. This helps break the immersive flow of extended gaming and keeps your spending in perspective.
Cooling-Off Periods
If you need a short break from gambling, Boho Casino offers cooling-off periods of the following durations:
- 24 hours
- 48 hours
- 7 days
- 30 days
During a cooling-off period, your account remains open but you are unable to log in or place bets. At the end of the period, access is automatically restored. Cooling-off is appropriate for players who feel they are playing more than intended and want a structured pause to reassess.
Self-Exclusion
For players who need a longer or more decisive break, Boho Casino offers self-exclusion. Self-exclusion periods available at bohoscasino.org include:
- 6 months
- 1 year
- 5 years
- Permanent (indefinite)
Once self-exclusion is activated, your account is closed and Boho Casino will remove you from all marketing communications immediately. You will not receive bonus offers, newsletters, or promotional e-mails during the exclusion period. Boho Casino commits to honouring all self-exclusion requests promptly. To request self-exclusion, contact the support team via live chat or e-mail [email protected].
How to Access Responsible Gambling Tools
- Log in to your Boho Casino account at bohoscasino.org.
- Navigate to the account settings or profile section.

- Choose the tool you wish to activate and follow the on-screen prompts to set your preferred limits or request a break.
All limit changes and exclusion requests can also be submitted directly to the Boho Casino support team at [email protected] or via the 24/7 live chat service.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I set a deposit limit at Boho Casino?
Log in to your account at bohoscasino.org and go to the responsible gambling section in your account settings. Select deposit limits, choose your preferred period (daily, weekly, or monthly), and enter the amount. Reductions take effect immediately; increases take effect after 24 hours.
Can I cancel a self-exclusion early?
Permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed. For time-limited self-exclusions (6 months, 1 year, or 5 years), Boho Casino applies a mandatory cooling-off period before reinstatement can be considered. This is by design — it prevents impulsive decisions to return to gambling during a period of vulnerability.
Does Boho Casino market to self-excluded players?
No. Once self-exclusion is activated, Boho Casino removes you from all marketing lists immediately. You will not receive promotional e-mails, bonus offers, or any other gambling-related communications for the duration of your exclusion.
What should I do if I think I have a gambling problem?
Contact the Boho Casino support team at [email protected] or use the live chat to request self-exclusion or a cooling-off period immediately. You should also contact Gambling Help Online at gamblinghelponline.org.au or call 1800 858 858 for professional counselling and support.
