Failure to action on permanent self exclusion request


1 month ago

I am submitting this as a formal complaint regarding the handling of my repeated requests to permanently close and self-exclude my gambling account.

I have explicitly informed your customer support that I have a gambling addiction and that I want my account permanently closed­/se­lf-­exc­luded.

Despite making this clear and contacting you repeatedly, my request has not been dealt with appropriately. Instead of simply permanently closing my account, I have experienced delays and further communication regarding alternatives.

I want there to be absolutely no ambiguity: I am requesting permanent self-exclusion because of gambling addiction.

I do not want a temporary break, cooling-off period, deposit limit, retention offer, bonus, or any other alternative. I do not want to be persuaded to continue gambling.

Transaction evidence

I have preserved screenshots of the transaction history available through my Boho Casino account.

From the screenshots currently in my possession, I can document at least NOK 127,820 in accepted deposits between 26 June 2026 and 15 September 2026.

This is a conservative figure. I have only included transactions where the date and amount are clearly visible, and I have removed transactions appearing more than once across overlapping screenshots.

There is also an additional NOK 1,700 deposit visible in the evidence where the date is not visible. I have therefore excluded that transaction from the NOK 127,820 documented total.

The screenshots demonstrate repeated and concentrated deposits, including:

* 6 July 2026 – NOK 15,000

* 18 August 2026 – NOK 15,000

* 2 September 2026 – NOK 10,500 within approximately 40 minutes

* 11 September 2026 – NOK 15,650

* 14–15 September 2026 – NOK 21,200 between approximately 23:10 and 01:02

These examples are not estimates of gambling losses. They are accepted deposits visible in the transaction history I have preserved.

My self-exclusion request

The central issue in this complaint is straightforward.

I have told you that I suffer from gambling addiction and have repeatedly requested that you permanently close/self-exclude my account.

Once I explicitly disclosed my gambling addiction and requested permanent self-exclusion, I expected that request to be treated as a serious responsible-gambling matter and acted upon without unnecessary delay. Instead, I have had to repeatedly contact you regarding something I have already made completely clear.

For someone who has specifically disclosed a gambling problem, leaving continued access to a gambling account while discussing alternatives to permanent closure creates an obvious risk.

I therefore formally request:

1. Immediate and permanent self-e­xcl­usi­on/­closure of my account.

2. Written confirmation that the account has been permanently self-excluded and cannot simply be reopened upon request.

3. Confirmation of the exact date and time when you first received notice that I had a gambling problem and/or requested self-exclusion.

4. A complete record of my deposits, withdrawals, and gambling transactions for the relevant period.

5. Copies or records of the communications concerning my requests for account closur­e/s­elf­-ex­clu­sion.

6. An explanation of why my permanent self-exclusion request was not actioned immediately after I disclosed my gambling addiction and requested closure.

7. Confirmation of what responsible-gambling actions, restrictions, or account reviews were applied to my account, and when.

Please preserve all records relevant to this complaint, including account activity, transaction records, responsible-gambling records, internal account notes, and my communications with customer support.

Important clarification

My immediate priority is not reimbursement. My priority is making sure that I cannot continue gambling through this account. I am asking for permanent self-exclusion regardless of whether any money is ultimately refunded.

I am preserving screenshots of my transaction history and copies of my communications as evidence.

Please treat this message as a formal complaint and permanent self-exclusion request and provide written confirmation that my account has been permanently self-excluded.

If this matter is not resolved appropriately, I will preserve the complete correspondence and submit the matter, together with my transaction evidence and self-exclusion communications, to the relevant licensing/regulatory and dispute-resolution channels applicable to the operator.

I expect written confirmation of the permanent self-exclusion and a formal response to this complaint.


Kind regards,

Dear AskGamblers Complaint Team,

I would like to provide another update regarding my ongoing complaint against Boho Casino.

I recently received an email from Boho claiming that they were still missing my banking information. However, I have already provided these details four times.

I responded to their email and clarified that the requested information had already been submitted multiple times. Since then, I have once again received no response.

Another day has now passed, and I still have no confirmation that my refund has been processed or sent, no confirmed payment date, and no information about the final refund amount.

This repeated lack of communication is extremely frustrating. Every time I try to move the process forward, I either receive no response or another request for information I have already provided.

I would appreciate it if the AskGamblers Complaint Team could intervene and ask Boho to explain why this continues to happen and provide a concrete update on my refund.

I have done everything requested of me, and I believe it is reasonable to expect the same level of cooperation and transparency from the casino.

Thank you for your continued assistance.

Dear Boho Casino Team and AskGamblers,

I confirm once again that I accept the transfer of 11,915.31 EUR to my previously provided Revolut account.

As I have already explained, I have confirmed my acceptance of payment in EUR by email and provided my banking details, including my IBAN, on three separate occasions.

However, Boho Casino has still not responded to my email or my message here on AskGamblers after I replied yesterday.

This is exactly why I am forced to continue communicating through AskGamblers.

Throughout this process, I have repeatedly experienced extremely slow responses, unanswered emails and requests to provide information that I have already submitted.

I have done everything requested of me, yet I am constantly left waiting without any clear updates or confirmation.

I find this level of communication unacceptable, especially considering how long this refund process has already taken.

To be absolutely clear, I am not delaying this refund. I have already provided everything requested and confirmed my acceptance of the EUR transfer.

My acceptance of this payment does not mean that I agree it represents the full and final amount owed to me. I reserve the right to dispute the total refund amount separately once this payment has been received.

At this stage, I simply want Boho Casino to process the confirmed payment without further unnecessary delays.

Please confirm:

1. That the payment has been approved and all necessary banking details have been received.
2. The exact date the transfer will be initiated.
3. That proof of payment will be provided once the transfer has been completed.

I also request that AskGamblers keeps this complaint open until the money has actually reached my account.

I should not have to repeatedly chase a company for basic information about a refund that has already been confirmed.

Dear Boho Casino Team and AskGamblers,

Thank you for finally confirming the exact refund amount of 127,820 NOK (11,915.31 EUR).

However, I need to correct an important part of your statement.

I have already confirmed by email that I accept receiving the refund in EUR. I have also provided my Revolut banking details, including my IBAN, on three separate occasions.

Boho previously confirmed receiving my banking information and instructed me to wait for further updates.

Therefore, I do not understand why you are now presenting this as though you are still waiting for my approval to proceed.

To avoid any further misunderstanding, I am once again confirming publicly that I accept the refund of 11,915.31 EUR to my previously provided Revolut account.

I have cooperated throughout this entire process, responded to your requests and repeatedly supplied the same information.

The repeated requests for information already provided, combined with the lack of communication, have caused unnecessary delays.

I now request that you:

1. Confirm that you have all the banking information required.
2. Confirm that the refund will be processed without any further unnecessary delays.
3. Provide a specific payment date and transaction confirmation once the transfer has been initiated.

I appreciate your request to keep this complaint open until the funds have been received, and I fully agree.

I ask AskGamblers to keep this complaint open until the full amount of 11,915.31 EUR has actually reached my account.

I hope we can now move forward without further delays.

Ignored My Self Exclusion Request for Months
Complaint against Boho Casino – Self-Exclusion Request Not Implemented

I am submitting a complaint regarding Boho Casino's failure to implement my self-exclusion request and my request for reimbursement of CAD $906 in losses incurred after that request.

On July 15, 2026, I contacted Boho Casino through their live chat and clearly requested to self-exclude my account.

The chat representative informed me that self-exclusion procedures were handled by email and instructed me to contact the following address: [email protected].

I followed these instructions immediately and sent my self-exclusion request to that email address on July 15, 2026, at 12:25 PM Pacific Time.

Despite this request, my account was not self-excluded or blocked. I was able to continue depositing and gambling after I had already clearly requested self-exclusion. As a result, I subsequently lost a total of CAD $906.

I am providing a copy of the original email I sent to Boho Casino as evidence of my self-exclusion request, including the date and time it was sent.

I believe that once I clearly communicated my intention to self-exclude and followed the procedure provided by Boho Casino, my account should have been restricted in accordance with their responsible gambling obligations. Instead, the account remained active and I was permitted to continue gambling.

I have contacted Boho Casino regarding the matter and requested reimbursement, but the issue has not been resolved.

I am therefore asking AskGamblers to review the evidence and assist me in obtaining reimbursement of the CAD $906 I lost after submitting my self-exclusion request.

I am providing the following evidence:

- The email sent to Boho Casino on July 15, 2026, at 12:25 PM Pacific Time requesting self-exclusion;
- Evidence of the deposits and losses made after my self-exclusion request;
- My subsequent communication with Boho Casino requesting reimbursement.

My requested resolution is reimbursement of the full CAD $906 lost after my self-exclusion request was submitted.

They dont want to help me close my account
I am asking AskGamblers for help regarding an issue with Boho Casino\.

A few days ago, I contacted Boho Casino by email and clearly asked them to close my account because I am experiencing gambling problems, now its been 3days since they contacted me, i tried to close my account in the past few weeks to. I explained that I wanted to stop gambling and requested that my account be permanently closed\.

Despite this, I have not received a proper response and my account has remained accessible\. Because I am struggling with gambling, I have continued to deposit and lose money while waiting for them to take action\.

I feel that Boho Casino has failed to take my request seriously, even though I clearly informed them that I have gambling\-related problems and wanted my account closed\. In my opinion, they should have acted immediately once they became aware of the situation\.

I am therefore asking AskGamblers to help me resolve this matter\.

I would like Boho Casino to permanently close my account and review all deposits and losses made after the date when I first contacted them requesting account closure due to my gambling problems\. I am also requesting a refund of the money I lost after that request, as I believe I should not have been allowed to continue gambling after clearly asking for my account to be closed\.

I have the emails that I sent to Boho Casino and can provide them as evidence of when I requested the account closure and explained my gambling problem\.

Thank you for your help in reviewing my complaint and assisting me with this situation\.
