Responsible Gambling at Boho Casino
Before You Deposit, Decide What the Money Is For
Gambling at Boho Casino is paid entertainment, in the same way as a cinema ticket. It is not a way to earn income, cover bills or recover an earlier loss, and no pokie, live table or bonus changes the house edge over time. Wins are a bonus on top of what you have already decided the evening is worth.
Set a budget before you open the lobby, in dollars and in time, using money that has no other job. Write down the amount, add it to your deposit limit and stop when it is used. Chasing a loss with a larger deposit is the pattern that most often turns a hobby into a problem.
How We Keep Minors Out
Only people aged 18 or over may register, everywhere in Australia. Identity is checked at verification, where we review an Australian driver’s licence or passport, and accounts found to belong to someone under 18 are closed with the balance handled as the licence framework requires.
Parents and guardians can help by keeping card details and the account password away from children, by not leaving a logged-in device unattended, and by installing parental control software on shared phones, tablets and computers. Most operating systems include a filter that can block gambling sites by category.
Which Tools Limit Your Play
The account dashboard contains deposit limits, loss limits, wager limits, session timers, cool-off periods and self-exclusion. A limit you tighten takes effect immediately. A limit you loosen only applies after a cooling-off period, so a bad evening cannot be used to lift a cap on the spot.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| Deposit limit | Caps how much you can pay in over a period you choose |
| Loss limit | Stops play once net losses reach your set amount |
| Wager limit | Caps the total staked over a period |
| Session timer | Reminds you or ends a session after the time you set |
| Cool-off period | Blocks the account for a short break you choose |
| Self-exclusion | Closes the account for the period you specify |
For self-exclusion, use the dashboard or email [email protected] from your registered address, stating the account email and the length of exclusion. We will confirm in writing, and marketing to that account stops.
Recognising Trouble and Finding Free Help
Warning signs include gambling with money set aside for rent or bills, hiding how much you play, needing bigger stakes for the same thrill, feeling irritable when you cut down, borrowing to play, and thinking about gambling more often than about anything else. If two or more sound familiar, use a limit or a break now rather than later.
These Australian services are free and independent of us. Gambling Help Online offers counselling around the clock on 1800 858 858. Lifeline provides 24-hour crisis support on 13 11 14. BetStop is the National Self-Exclusion Register, though it covers licensed Australian operators only and does not exclude you from Boho Casino, so use our own self-exclusion tools for that. Gamblers Anonymous Australia runs peer support groups.
