Failed to honor RG policy

I would like to file a complaint against Boho Casino regarding their failure to act responsibly when I requested self-exclusion due to my gambling addiction.

I contacted the casino several times and clearly informed them that I have a gambling addiction and that I wanted my account to be permanently closed for responsible gambling reasons. Despite my clear and repeated requests, my account was never closed.

Because the casino refused to close my account, I continued to gamble even though I have been trying very hard to stop. This is exactly why I requested permanent self-exclusion. I recognize that I have a gambling problem and needed the casino to protect me by preventing access to my account. Instead, my requests were ignored, and I felt that they did not believe or take my gambling addiction seriously.

Instead of processing my self-exclusion request, my VIP Manager tried to persuade me to keep my account open. One of the emails I received stated:

«"Maybe there’s something you don’t like about our platform - perhaps the bonuses, or maybe you’ve had an issue with someone from our team, or the bonus system isn’t what you expected?»

«As your personal VIP Manager, I’m asking you for openness and honesty on this matter. That’s the only way I can truly help you. From what you said, you want to close your account, but here you already have VIP status and a strong personal manager supporting you.»

«From experience, I’ve seen that clients sometimes close their account on one platform and move to another, where they have to start from scratch. Usually, that means the issue is something specific about the platform - and that’s exactly why I’m asking you."»

I find this response completely unacceptable. Instead of immediately honoring my request for permanent self-exclusion, the casino questioned my reasons and attempted to persuade me to remain a customer by referring to my VIP status and personal VIP Manager. This is not how a casino should respond when a player discloses a gambling addiction.

As a direct result of the casino's failure to close my account, I continued gambling and lost a significant amount of money after my self-exclusion requests. If Boho Casino had fulfilled its responsible gambling obligations and closed my account immediately after my first request, these losses would not have occurred.

I believe Boho Casino failed to protect a vulnerable player and did not follow responsible gambling principles. I respectfully ask AskGamblers to investigate this matter and ensure that Boho Casino complies with its responsible gambling obligations by immediately honoring self-exclusion requests from players who disclose a gambling addiction.

Hi Community,

I have signup to Boho Casino a few months ago. I have deposited until now, and on 29 of March, I have deposited again 180€. Later in the night I have won 8000€ and decided to contact the chat to ask for more information to verify my account and request the withdrawal. They kindly give me all informations they need, directly, I sent to them :

- Credit card Front and Back;

- Proof of my Neteller account (Because in the past I have deposited with this...)

- my ID

- Proof of residence

In the next few minutes, support verify my account Live. I request two Withdrawals (4000€ and 3000€ by Neteller). On the 30th of March early, I contact them to know more about my withdrawal, and they explain to me it was not possible to use Neteller, as my last deposit method was Visa, so I cancel my two withdrawals and request a new one of 4000€ by Wire Transfer. They also ask me for a proof of Bank Account, I sent it and was immediately validated by the support team.

Since this date, my withdrawal is still pending and support was giving me the same prepared answer. "All withdrawals are treated in queue, etc...". As soon as I told them I will open a complaint on askgambler, they give me more information like : "Our general manager are on the case since 1am, and we're still waiting for an update since 1pm on the 31th March".

And this morning, I got a new support chat, who is telling "The only information I possess about your withdrawal at the moment, is that it is waiting to be reviewed by the manager".

To sum up: My account was verified, I have requested a withdrawal of 4000(due to the limit) and wait for it my withdrawal is still pending (And cancellable by me) since 30th March 8:14am and also 3000 remaining on my account because I can’t request more than 4000€ (in their rule, so that’s ok to wait…)

I have sent all my documents who are verified, and I have deposited without any bonus.

Thanks for your help.
