The login button sits top-right on desktop and behind the menu icon on mobile. If you have two-factor authentication switched on, you'll also enter a six-digit code after your password. Below is the exact process, plus fixes for the errors that actually stop people getting in. + +## Signing in on desktop and mobile + +The steps are the same on both, only the login button moves. On desktop it's top-right of the homepage; on mobile it's inside the hamburger (☰) menu. + +{{< steps title="Sign in on desktop" >}} +{{< step title="Open the login panel" >}}Click **Login** in the top-right corner of the NovaSpin homepage.{{< /step >}} +{{< step title="Enter your email" >}}Use the email address you registered with. If your browser saved it, check it's the right one — an old address is the most common reason a correct password gets rejected.{{< /step >}} +{{< step title="Enter your password" >}}Type your password, or use the eye icon to reveal it and confirm there's no stray space or wrong case.

You'll arrive in the game lobby with your real-money balance shown in the header.{{< /step >}} +{{< /steps >}} + +On mobile, tap the menu icon first, choose **Login**, then follow the same four fields. If you use the [NovaSpin app](/app/), it can store your login and add fingerprint or Face ID sign-in, which skips the password entirely on your own device. + +Haven't opened an account yet? You'll need to [complete registration](/registration/) before any of this works — there's no guest or demo login for real-money play. + +## Resetting a forgotten password + +Use the **Forgot password?** link in the login panel — you don't need to contact support. Enter your registered email and NovaSpin sends a reset link. + +- The link is single-use and time-limited, so open it soon after it arrives. +- No email in a couple of minutes? Check spam and promotions folders before requesting another, or you'll invalidate the first link. +- Choose a password you don't use anywhere else. Reused passwords are the single biggest cause of account takeovers across gambling sites. + +If the reset email never arrives, it usually means that address was never registered, or you signed up with a different one. Support can confirm which email is on file once you've verified your identity. + +## Common login problems and quick fixes + +Most failed logins come down to four or five causes. Work down this table before assuming your account is blocked. + +| Problem | Likely cause | Quick fix | +|---|---|---| +| "Invalid email or password" | Wrong case, typo, or old email | Reveal the password with the eye icon; try your other email address | +| Password definitely correct but rejected | Autofill entered stale details | Clear the fields and type them manually | +| 2FA code not accepted | Code expired or clock out of sync | Request a new code; check your phone's time is set to automatic | +| Page won't load or spins forever | Cached session or browser extension | Hard-refresh, clear cookies, or try a private window | +| "Account locked" or too many attempts | Several wrong tries in a row | Wait for the cool-down, then reset your password | +| Login works but no balance shown | Logged into the wrong account/currency | Log out and sign back in with the correct email | + +Still stuck after the reset? A VPN or a country where NovaSpin isn't licensed can silently block access, so turn off any VPN and connect from your normal location. If nothing works, live chat can see whether the account is under a routine verification or security hold — and if a deposit hasn't landed, our [deposit guide](/deposit/) covers processing times before you raise a ticket. + +## Keeping your account secure + +Turn on two-factor authentication the first time you sign in — it's the one setting that stops someone logging in with just your password. You'll find it under account security settings. + +- Use a unique, long password and a password manager rather than memorising something simple. +- Prefer an authenticator app over SMS codes where NovaSpin offers it; app codes can't be intercepted by SIM-swap attacks. +- Only ever log in through the official NovaSpin site or app. Genuine sign-in requests never arrive by email or DM asking for your password — treat any that do as phishing. +- Sign out on shared or public computers instead of just closing the tab. + +A quick note on staying in control: the same account area holds NovaSpin's responsible-gambling tools, and they're worth setting before you play, not after. You can put a deposit limit, loss limit or session-time reminder in place, take a short time-out, or use self-exclusion to close access for a longer period. If a login session ever feels driven by chasing a loss rather than choosing to play, use a time-out and read our [responsible gambling guide](/responsible-gambling/) — the limits apply instantly and you don't need a reason to set them.
