Self Exclusion Breach and Unauthorized Account Reactivation

I am filing this complaint against Boho Casino for a direct breach of their own responsible gambling terms and explicit confirmation emails, which resulted in an unauthorized financial loss of 2600 dollars.

1. The Timeline and Explicit Terms
On September 12 I requested a permanent account closure. The casino instead placed a 14 day Self Exclusion on my account. On the exact same day I replied via email explicitly rejecting the temporary timeline stating final decision is close it permanently dont need to done back in 2 weeks I already know my decision. The confirmation email sent to me by Boho Casino on September 12 explicitly stated Please note, upon the self exclusion period expiration, your account will not be re activated automatically. The account can only be re activated upon a players request.

2. Direct Violation of Stated Terms vs Cooling Off Rules
According to Boho Casino official Responsible Gambling policy page, Cooling Off Limits explicitly state that upon its expiration, your account will automatically be re activated. Self Exclusion Limits are strictly defined as completely disabling the account with no automatic reactivation. The casino specifically issued a Self Exclusion Period via email and not a cooling off limit and explicitly confirmed in writing that it would not reopen automatically.

3. The Systemic Breach and Financial Loss
On September 26 in direct violation of their own written definitions, their email confirmations, and my clear permanent closure instructions, Boho Casino automated system unilaterally and automatically reactivated my self exclusion. They sent an email stating Your selfexclusion limit is now over Your selfexclusion period is now over and your account is activated again. BACK TO GAME. Because the casino unlawfully lifted a strict self exclusion block without any request or required manual safety review, I was able to access the platform and deposit a total of 2600 dollars.

4. Refusal of Support and Account Lockout
When I subsequently contacted live chat to confront them about this breach and explicitly stated that I have gambling addiction issues, the agent refused to assist me and closed the chat session. Hours later, after I sent a detailed email outlining the breach, the casino disabled my account entirely and blocked my live chat access without responding to any of my emails.

Remedy Sought
Since Boho Casino completely failed its duty of care, mixed up its own operational definitions of cooling off vs self exclusion, and directly breached the written terms of its agreement, I am requesting a full refund of the 2600 dollars deposited after the unlawful automatic reactivation on September 26. Full screenshots of all emails, terms pages, chat transcripts, and my deposit timeline are attached.

Failure to action on permanent self exclusion request

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,

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.
