This page is here to help you keep gambling fun and under control. Nomini offers tools to manage your account, and beyond that you'll find national services ready to listen if things ever feel off. Gambling should be entertainment, not a chore – and stepping back is always an option.
Why responsible gambling matters
Most people gamble for fun and stay in control. But for some, it stops being entertainment and starts causing stress, arguments or money problems. Recognising the signs early makes all the difference – the earlier you act, the easier it is to course-correct.
Warning signs: when gambling gets out of hand
Look out for these patterns in yourself or someone close to you:
- Chasing losses – trying to win back what you've lost by betting more
- Lying about how much you spend or how often you play
- Borrowing money to gamble, or missing bills to keep playing
- Gambling when you're upset, anxious or trying to escape problems
- Losing interest in other activities you used to enjoy
- Feeling restless or irritable when you try to cut down
- Neglecting work, relationships or responsibilities because of gambling
None of these on their own means you have a problem, but if several sound familiar it's worth taking stock.
A few questions to ask yourself
These are honest prompts, not a diagnosis – just a way to check in:
- Do you gamble longer than you planned to?
- Have you ever lied to family or friends about your gambling?
- Do you feel guilty after a session?
- Have you tried to stop or cut down and found you couldn't?
- Does gambling interfere with your work or home life?
- Do you gamble to forget worries or feel better about yourself?
- After losing, do you feel you must return as soon as possible to win it back?
- Have you borrowed money or sold anything to finance gambling?
If you answered yes to several of these, reaching out for support is a sensible next step.
Control tools at Nomini
The operator provides self-exclusion by contacting customer support via email. Once requested, your account is closed and you cannot reopen it for the period you choose. This is the most robust option when you need a complete break.
Beyond self-exclusion, the operator does not publish deposit limits, session time reminders or loss limits on its platform. If you need those controls, the national schemes below offer broader coverage.
Tips for gambling sensibly
A few practical habits help keep things in perspective:
- Set a budget before you start – decide how much you can afford to lose, and stop when you hit that figure.
- Set a time limit – use a phone alarm or a kitchen timer to remind yourself when your session is up.
- Never chase losses – accept that losing is part of the game and walk away when your budget is gone.
- Don't gamble on credit – only use money you actually have, never borrowed funds or a credit card.
- Take regular breaks – step away from the screen every 20 minutes or so, even if you're winning.
- Keep gambling separate from other activities – don't gamble while working, during meals or when you're meant to be doing something else.
