Responsible Gaming

Boho Casino is committed to supporting a safe, balanced and informed approach to gambling. Gambling should be an occasional form of entertainment, not a way to make money, manage financial pressure or solve personal problems. Before you play, consider your limits, understand the risks and only gamble with money you can comfortably afford to lose.

Boho Casino holds a licence from the Autonomous Online & Finance Authority (AOFA) in the Comoros under reference ALSI-202509073-FI2, and a licence from the Tobique Gaming Commission in New Brunswick, Canada, under licence No. 0000064.

Gamble for entertainment, not income

Gambling outcomes are uncertain, and no system, strategy or pattern can guarantee a win. Previous results do not determine what will happen next, and a losing session does not make a win more likely. Treat every bet as an entertainment expense and accept that you may lose the money you stake.

Only gamble when it fits comfortably within your personal budget. Essential expenses such as rent, mortgage payments, bills, food, education, savings and debt repayments should always come first. Do not use borrowed money, credit intended for necessities or funds set aside for another purpose to gamble. If gambling would make it harder to meet your usual commitments, take a break and seek support.

Practical habits for safer play

Decide how much time and money you are prepared to spend before you start.
Keep a record of your deposits, bets, wins and losses so you have a clear view of your activity.
Set a spending limit for gambling and avoid increasing it during a session.
Take regular breaks and avoid playing for longer than planned.
Never chase losses by increasing bet sizes or continuing to play after reaching your limit.
Do not gamble when you are upset, stressed, tired, angry or under the influence of alcohol or other substances.
Avoid gambling as a response to financial difficulties, relationship problems or other personal concerns.
Remember that a win is not guaranteed, even after a series of losses or near misses.

A short break can help you make a calmer decision. If you find yourself thinking about gambling more than usual, hiding your activity or feeling unable to stop, consider using the available account controls and contacting an appropriate gambling support service.

Tools to help you stay in control

Account tools can help you manage how much you deposit, how long you play and when you take time away. The controls available to you may depend on the platform, account settings and applicable requirements. Review the options shown in your account before gambling and choose settings that reflect your actual budget, not an amount you hope to win.

Deposit and spending limits

A deposit limit can restrict the amount added to your account over a selected period. It can be useful to set this limit before you begin playing and keep it low enough to protect your normal expenses. A limit is a planning tool rather than a guarantee of a particular result. You remain responsible for considering your overall gambling activity, including activity with other providers.

Time limits and reminders

Time can pass quickly during online play. Where available, use session reminders, activity statements, time-outs or similar features to help you notice how long you have been playing. When a reminder appears, stop and review the time and money spent. Do not dismiss reminders automatically or continue simply because you are close to a result.

Cooling-off periods and breaks

If you need space from gambling, a temporary break or cooling-off period may be appropriate. A break can help interrupt unhelpful habits and give you time to consider your decisions away from the excitement of play. Follow the instructions provided for the relevant account feature and do not create another account to avoid a restriction.

Self-exclusion

Self-exclusion is a stronger form of account restriction for people who want to stop gambling for a longer period or indefinitely. If you choose self-exclusion, follow the process made available through the platform and provide any information needed to apply the restriction. Do not attempt to bypass self-exclusion, open another account or ask someone else to gamble on your behalf.

Account controls are designed to support your decisions, but they cannot replace personal awareness or professional help. If a limit no longer feels sufficient, stop playing and seek assistance rather than changing the limit to continue.

Recognising when gambling may be causing harm

Gambling can become difficult to control gradually. Some people may not recognise a problem until it affects their finances, health, work, studies or relationships. There is no need to wait for serious harm before taking action. If gambling is causing concern, support is available and asking for help is a responsible step.

Possible warning signs

Spending more time or money gambling than you intended.
Trying to win back money you have lost or believing a big win will solve financial problems.
Increasing your bets or deposits to achieve the same level of excitement.
Feeling restless, irritable or anxious when you cannot gamble.
Borrowing money, selling belongings or missing payments because of gambling.
Keeping gambling secret from family, friends or people you trust.
Arguing with others or experiencing problems at work, study or home because of gambling.
Neglecting sleep, exercise, responsibilities or social activities.
Using gambling to escape sadness, stress, loneliness or other difficult feelings.
Attempting to stop or cut back but repeatedly finding that you cannot.

One or more of these signs may indicate that it is time to stop and review your gambling. Close or restrict your account using the available tools, tell someone you trust and contact a qualified gambling support service or health professional. A counsellor can help you understand your behaviour, plan practical changes and address financial or emotional concerns without judgement.

If someone close to you is affected

Problem gambling can affect partners, family members, friends and colleagues. If you are concerned about another person, choose a calm time to explain what you have noticed and how it affects you. Avoid threats, blame or trying to control the person’s account yourself. Encourage them to speak with a professional support service and consider seeking support for your own wellbeing.

Age, safety and getting help

Gambling is only for people who meet the applicable minimum legal age and other eligibility requirements. Underage people must not use a gambling account or take part in gambling. Parents, guardians and carers should keep devices, passwords and payment methods secure and talk with young people about the risks of gambling and the importance of not using another person’s account.

Your account should be used only by you. Keep your login information private, use a strong password and do not allow another person to place bets or make deposits through your account. If you think someone else has accessed your account, stop using it, secure your login details and use the platform’s support process to report the concern.

Where to find support

If gambling is no longer enjoyable or feels difficult to control, contact a gambling support service operating in your area, speak with a GP or qualified mental health professional, or use the support information provided by an Australian health or community service. These services can offer confidential guidance about gambling, financial stress, relationships and emotional wellbeing.

You can also speak with a trusted family member, friend or colleague and ask them to help you stay accountable. Consider removing saved payment details, taking a break from gambling-related content, blocking access where suitable and arranging help with budgeting or debt. Taking several small steps can make it easier to regain control.

Urgent assistance

If gambling has contributed to thoughts of self-harm, suicide, violence or immediate danger, stop gambling and seek urgent assistance through local emergency services or a crisis support service. If you are worried about another person’s immediate safety, do not leave them alone where it is unsafe and seek urgent professional help.

Boho Casino encourages every player to make informed choices, use available account controls and take a break whenever gambling stops feeling comfortable. Responsible gambling is an ongoing decision: set a limit, stick to it and ask for help early if you need it.
