Responsible gambling at Nomini
Gambling works best when it stays what it was meant to be: a pastime you choose because you enjoy it, not because you need it. This page sets out the tools we offer, the signs worth watching for, and the help available across the UK when play stops feeling like entertainment.
Nomini is open to players aged 18 and over. If you share a device with someone younger, parental-control software such as Net Nanny or Qustodio blocks access to gambling sites at the system level.
Why responsible gambling matters
Slots, table games and sports betting carry real stakes. Wins are never guaranteed, and chasing losses reliably makes things worse. We want every session to leave you in control of how much time and money you spend, with no pressure to play again.
The tools below exist for exactly that — to set boundaries before they are needed, and to pause or stop completely when something feels off.
When gambling stops being fun
Recognising a problem early gives you more options. The behaviours below are concrete warning signs, not judgements:
- Spending more than you planned, repeatedly
- Gambling with money set aside for bills or rent
- Lying to family or friends about how much you play or how much you have lost
- Chasing losses — betting again immediately to win back what went
- Feeling anxious, irritable or restless when you try to cut down
- Neglecting work, study or relationships because of time spent gambling
One or two of these once does not mean a disorder. Three or more, persistently, means it is worth pausing and getting a second opinion from someone trained to help.
Questions worth asking yourself
A short self-check, answered honestly:
- Do you gamble until your balance is empty, even when you meant to stop earlier?
- Have you borrowed money or sold something to fund gambling?
- Has someone close to you said they are worried about how much you play?
- Do you feel the urge to bet larger amounts to get the same excitement?
- Have you tried to stop or cut down, and found you could not?
- Do you gamble to escape problems, boredom or low mood?
Answering yes to two or more suggests gambling has moved past entertainment. That is not a failure — it is a signal to take a break and speak with someone who can help.
Our control tools
We offer self-exclusion by request. Contact our support team at [email protected] or through live chat, and your account will be closed. Self-exclusion locks the account for the period you choose — typically six months, one year or permanently — and cannot be reversed during that time.
For multi-site exclusion across all UK-licensed operators, register with GamStop. It is free, covers every site regulated by the UK Gambling Commission, and lasts for the term you select: six months, one year or five years.
We do not currently publish deposit limits, session timers or reality-check reminders — self-exclusion remains the main tool available through us. The national resources below offer additional options.
Practical limits that work
Boundaries set before a session tend to hold better than decisions made mid-play. Consider:
- Decide the amount you can afford to lose before you deposit, and stop when it is gone
- Set a time limit — an alarm on your phone — and stick to it
- Never chase a loss by depositing again immediately
- Keep gambling money separate from rent, bills and savings
- Take regular breaks — at least 15 minutes away from the screen every hour
- Avoid gambling when tired, upset or under the influence of alcohol
These rules sound simple, but they work. The hard part is holding to them when a session has not gone your way.
Where to get help in the UK
If gambling is causing harm — financial, emotional or social — free and confidential support is available right now.
GamCare runs the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133, open 24 hours a day, every day. Trained advisers answer calls, texts and live chats, and the service costs nothing.
BeGambleAware provides information, a self-assessment tool, and links to local treatment services. Everything on the site is free to use.
Gordon Moody offers both residential treatment and online therapy for gambling addiction. Referrals are handled directly through their site.
Blocking software
Gamban blocks access to gambling sites and apps across all your devices — phone, tablet, laptop. It runs in the background and cannot be disabled easily once installed. A subscription is required.
BetBlocker is free, open-source, and works on Windows, macOS, Android and iOS. It restricts access to tens of thousands of gambling domains and updates its list regularly.
Protecting minors
You must be 18 or over (18+) to register with us. Allowing someone under 18 to use your account — even supervised — breaks our terms and UK law.
If a minor has access to a shared device, install parental controls through your operating system or use third-party software such as Qustodio, Net Nanny or Norton Family. These tools block gambling sites by category and cannot be bypassed without the administrator password.
Contact us
For questions about self-exclusion, account closure or any of the tools above, reach our support team at [email protected] or through live chat, available around the clock.
Gambling should be entertainment, not a chore. If it stops feeling that way, the right move is to pause, talk to someone, and give yourself time to decide what comes next.
This site is for players aged 18 and over (18+). If gambling ever stops feeling like entertainment, free and confidential help is available at BeGambleAware.org.
