Responsible gambling at Nomini
Gambling is meant to be entertainment, not a way to solve financial problems or a daily obligation. When it stops feeling like a choice you enjoy making, that's the moment to pause and reassess. We want every session on Nomini to stay on the right side of that line.
Why this matters
Most people gamble without harm, but the risk is real for some. The design of online games – speed, accessibility, the illusion of control – can make it harder to notice when play shifts from recreation to compulsion. Setting boundaries early, before they're needed, is easier than imposing them later.
Signs gambling is getting out of hand
These behaviours warrant attention:
- Chasing losses – playing longer or betting more to recover what was lost
- Borrowing money to gamble, or gambling with money meant for bills or essentials
- Lying to family or friends about time or money spent
- Feeling restless, irritable or anxious when not gambling
- Neglecting work, relationships or responsibilities to play
- Using gambling to escape negative emotions or stress
If two or more apply, consider speaking to someone outside the situation.
Questions worth asking yourself
A short self-check, honestly answered:
- Do you gamble longer than you planned?
- Have you tried to stop or cut down, and failed?
- Do you feel the need to bet more to get the same excitement?
- Have you missed work, family events or social plans because of gambling?
- Has gambling caused arguments with people close to you?
- Do you gamble to forget about problems or to feel better when anxious or depressed?
This is not a diagnosis. It's a prompt to reflect, and if the answers concern you, to act on that concern.
Our control tools
We offer self-exclusion by contacting our support team via email. Once activated, your account is closed for the period you specify and cannot be reopened early. Self-exclusion applies to this site only – if you hold accounts elsewhere, you must contact those operators separately.
For national self-exclusion across all UK-licensed sites, register with GamStop at gamstop.co.uk. It's free, covers every operator licensed by the Gambling Commission, and lasts a minimum of six months.
Practical limits that work
Boundaries set in advance, before the session starts, are the ones that hold:
- Decide how much you can afford to lose before you deposit, and stick to it.
- Set a time limit – 30 minutes, an hour – and stop when it's up, win or lose.
- Never gamble on credit, and never chase losses within the same session.
- Keep gambling separate from alcohol – impaired judgement costs money.
- Take regular breaks during longer sessions to reassess whether you're still enjoying it.
- If you're using gambling to manage stress, boredom or loneliness, treat that as the warning it is.
Where to get help in the UK
GamCare operates the National Gambling Helpline: 0808 8020 133, free and available 24/7. Advisers provide confidential support, referrals to local services, and practical guidance for those affected by gambling harm – including family members. The website at gamcare.org.uk hosts live chat, forums and a treatment finder.
BeGambleAware funds treatment services and publishes evidence-based information at begambleaware.org. The site includes a self-assessment tool and signposts to counselling, peer support and residential programmes.
Gordon Moody provides residential treatment and ongoing support for those with serious gambling problems. Programmes last 10–12 weeks and include accommodation, therapy and aftercare. Contact them at gordonmoody.org.uk.
Blocking software
Gamban (gamban.com) blocks access to gambling sites and apps across all devices. It costs a subscription fee, works on Windows, Mac, iOS and Android, and cannot be easily bypassed once installed.
BetBlocker (betblocker.org) is free, open-source and available for desktop and mobile. It blocks tens of thousands of gambling domains and can be configured to allow specific exceptions or remain fully locked.
Protecting minors
Access to this site is restricted to persons 18 and over (18+). Gambling by minors is illegal in the UK, and operators are required to verify age before allowing real-money play.
If you share a device with someone under 18, consider parental control software such as Net Nanny or Qustodio. Both can block gambling sites by category and monitor browsing activity.
For questions about our responsible gambling policies, or to request self-exclusion, contact us at [email protected].
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.
