Responsible Gaming

Gambling always carries a risk of financial loss, even when you feel in control. You should only play using money you can afford to lose and never rely on betting as income. Treat every game as entertainment, not a way to recover debts or fix money problems.

On Boho casino you can use tools to support safe play and protect your wellbeing:

• Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits so your spending stays within your budget.
• Use loss limits to control how much you can lose over a set period.
• Set session time limits to prevent long, unplanned playing sessions.
• Take cooling-off breaks if you need time away from gambling.
• Use self-exclusion to block access to your account for a longer period when you need stronger control.

These tools help you manage your betting behaviour and reduce the risk of harm to your financial and emotional health. You stay in control when you plan your play, stick to your limits, and log out when gambling is no longer enjoyable.

Gambling addiction develops over time and can affect your money, relationships, and mental health. Early warning signs can be subtle, so regular self-checks are useful.

Key indicators that you or someone close to you may have a gambling problem include:

• Spending more time and money on betting than you had planned.
• Chasing losses and increasing stakes to try to win money back.
• Hiding or lying about gambling activity from family or friends.
• Using gambling to escape stress, loneliness, or other difficult feelings.
• Feeling restless, irritated, or low when you try to cut back or stop playing.
• Neglecting bills, savings, work, or study due to gambling.
• Borrowing money, selling belongings, or using credit to fund bets.
• Thinking about gambling most of the day or planning the next session constantly.
• Ignoring previous limits or self-promises about how much you will spend.
• Continuing to gamble even when you know it is causing financial or emotional harm.

Gambling addiction is a serious condition that needs attention and professional support. Reaching out early can reduce long-term harm and help you regain control.

Addressing betting addiction takes time, honesty, and practical steps. You do not need to manage it alone, and support is available both on Boho casino and from independent services in Australia.

Practical recommendations that can help prevent or manage gambling problems include:

• Set strict deposit and loss limits before you start playing and review them often.
• Create a clear budget for entertainment and never use rent, bills, or savings for gambling.
• Schedule gambling-free days and focus on other activities you enjoy.
• Avoid gambling when you are tired, stressed, under the influence of alcohol, or feeling low.
• Turn off notifications that trigger impulsive play, such as promotional emails or messages.
• Keep track of your spending and time in your account history so you can see patterns.
• Use time-out or self-exclusion tools as soon as you feel your control slipping.
• Speak to a trusted person about your gambling so you do not carry the burden alone.
• Seek professional counselling or support groups that specialise in gambling harm.
• If you have debts, contact financial counselling services to create a plan.

Taking one small step at a time can help you reduce risk and rebuild healthy habits around gambling and money.
