Responsible gaming at Nomini
We want your time on Nomini to stay enjoyable. Gambling works as entertainment when you stay in control of how much you spend and how long you play — and when you can walk away the moment it stops being fun. This page covers the warning signs that matter, the tools we offer, and where to get help in the UK when you need it.
Why responsible gambling matters
Gambling carries real risk. Most people play without harm, but for some it becomes a problem — one that affects finances, relationships, work and mental health. Recognising the signs early makes a difference, and the support available in the UK is free, confidential and designed to help you regain control.
This site is for players aged 18 and over (18+) only. If you are under 18, or if you share a device with someone who is, parental control software such as Net Nanny or Qustodio can prevent access.
Signs gambling is getting out of hand
These behaviours suggest gambling has moved beyond entertainment:
- Spending more than you can afford to lose, or chasing losses by placing larger bets
- Borrowing money, selling possessions, or using credit to fund gambling
- Lying to family or friends about how much you gamble or how much you have lost
- Neglecting responsibilities at work, at home, or in relationships because of gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable or restless when you try to cut down or stop
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions rather than for enjoyment
If any of these sound familiar, it is worth pausing and asking yourself some honest questions about your play.
Questions worth asking yourself
A short self-check can clarify whether gambling is still under control. Answer yes or no to each:
- Have you ever gambled longer than you intended?
- Have you ever gambled to win back money you lost?
- Has gambling caused you financial difficulty?
- Have you borrowed money or sold anything to gamble?
- Have you felt guilty or anxious about your gambling?
- Has gambling affected your work, studies, or relationships?
- Have you lied about how much time or money you spend gambling?
- Do you gamble to forget your worries or to feel better about yourself?
One or two yes answers suggest caution. Three or more indicate a problem that needs attention — and help is available.
Our control tools
We provide self-exclusion as the primary responsible-gambling tool. Contact our support team via email at [email protected] to request it. Self-exclusion closes your account for a period you choose — six months, one year, or permanently — and prevents you from reopening it during that time. The process is straightforward and confidential.
Once self-excluded, you will not receive marketing from us, and you cannot reverse the decision until the period expires. If you need a break but are not ready for full exclusion, consider registering with GamStop (see below), which blocks access across all UK-licensed sites.
Practical limits that work
Small changes can keep gambling under control before it becomes a problem:
- Set a budget before you start and stick to it — treat gambling as entertainment you pay for, not a way to make money
- Use a separate account or payment card for gambling, so you can see exactly how much you spend
- Set a time limit and walk away when it is up, win or lose
- Never gamble when you are upset, stressed, or trying to solve a financial problem
- Take regular breaks — gambling should not be your only leisure activity
- Talk to someone you trust about your gambling, so it stays visible and accountable
Where to get help in the UK
Support with gambling is free, confidential, and available around the clock:
| Organisation | What they offer | Contact |
|---|---|---|
| National Gambling Helpline | Free, confidential advice and support, 24/7 | 0808 8020 133 (free from landlines and mobiles) |
| GamCare | Counselling, live chat, forums and self-help tools | www.gamcare.org.uk |

The National Gambling Helpline and GamCare offer immediate support via phone, email, or live chat. BeGambleAware provides self-assessment tools and connects you with local counselling services. GamStop allows you to block yourself from all UK-licensed gambling sites for six months, one year, or five years — it is free, takes minutes to set up, and works across desktop and mobile.
Blocking software
If you need stronger barriers, blocking software prevents access to gambling sites on your devices:
- Gamban (gamban.com) — paid service that blocks gambling sites and apps on computers, tablets, and phones
- BetBlocker (betblocker.org) — free, open-source tool that works on multiple platforms
Both run in the background and cannot be easily removed once installed, making them effective for anyone struggling to stay away.
Protecting minors
Access to this site is restricted to persons aged 18 and over (18+). We verify age during registration and do not knowingly accept players under 18. If you share a device with someone younger, consider installing parental control software such as Net Nanny, Qustodio, or the controls built into iOS, Android, and Windows to prevent access to gambling sites.
Gambling should be entertainment, not a chore. If it ever stops feeling that way, the resources above are there to help — and reaching out early makes everything easier. For questions about our responsible-gambling tools, contact us at [email protected].
This site is for players aged 18 and over (18+) only. If gambling ever stops feeling like entertainment, free and confidential help is available at BeGambleAware.org.
