Responsible Gambling on Melbet

Melbet bookmaker takes responsible gaming seriously:

• We cover the topic of responsible gaming for users;
• Melbet’s gaming environment has 3 principles: justice, safety and prevention;
• You have the opportunity to set deposit limits, or use self-exclusion;
• You are provided with information about the full list of services available on the platform and how they operate. Melbet also does not encourage minors to gamble and warns against the possibility of losing funds;
• We hope that customers will approach betting and casino games responsibly. Players should understand all the risks themselves.

There are several points that a player can use to ensure they are being responsible when gambling on Melbet:

• You treat gambling as entertainment only;
• You have a fixed time limits on sessions;
• You don’t treat gambling as earnings;
• You have set a budged for your gambling activity, and do not exceed it;
• You are only betting money you can afford to lose;
• You take breaks from your gambling activity.

The platform’s advertising only reaches mentally healthy adults. Also, Melbet:

• Doesn’t allow minors to use the platform;
• The staff check personal profiles of users to ensure that all information they have entered during registration is correct;
• If there is any doubt that a person has reached the legal age to use the platform, verification will be requested. In case verification is not completed, the account will be blocked.

Verification cannot fully protect minors if they access others’ personal information. Families play the main role in protection. Keep logins, passwords, and bank details away from minors. Teenagers may use their parents’ documents or financial information. Pay attention to their activities. You can install applications like Cyber Patrol or NetNanny to block online gambling.

There are some basic responsible gaming rules and tips you should follow:

• Always consider gambling as a way to have fun;
• Consider losses as a price for amusement;
• Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits;
• For each session, set a clear end time;
• Don’t try to get back what you’ve lost by betting even more;
• When starting a gambling activity, you should always understand that you risk losing your entire deposit;
• Look for other hobbies besides gambling;
• Many myths about gambling can mislead you. Some myths claim that luck shifts after losses or that several games raise your chance of a big win. Never believe this;
• Do not use borrowed money for betting or playing casino games;
• Do not gamble under the influence of strong emotions or pain;
• Learn the signs of addiction. Monitor your condition closely.

You may show gambling addiction if 4 or more of these signs appear within a year:

• A strong urge to gamble persists despite harm;
• Bets grow larger to achieve the same excitement;
• Anxiety occurs when you are exiting the game;
• Attempts to control gambling constantly fail;
• Thoughts focus on past games, ways to get money, or planning the next play;
• Feelings of helplessness, guilt, or depression;
• Trying to recover the funds you have lost;
• You are hiding the fact, that you gamble, from the others;
• Family, work, education, or career suffer from gambling;
• Money problems shift to other people.

If Melbet detects signs of problematic gambling behaviour, the following actions may be taken:

• Deposit Limits. Restrictions may be applied to the amount you can deposit within a set period. This helps encourage responsible spending and reduces the risk of financial harm;
• Temporary Account Suspension. If further review is needed, Melbet may temporarily restrict access to your account until the situation is assessed;
• Self-Exclusion. In cases of extreme risk, Melbet may impose self-exclusion, which means restricting access to some or all services for a set period or permanently.

Every user should ask themselves these questions:

• Can’t you control your budget for betting and gaming?
• Do you borrow money to engage in gambling activity?
• Have you had arguments with family or friends over betting costs?
• With each new deposit, do you increase the amount?
• Have you lost interest in hobbies or usual activities?
• Do you understate your spending or playtime?
• Do you feel depressed after losses?

If the answer to most of these questions is yes, you may be developing addiction problems. You should pause or completely stop gaming and betting activities. Also, you must contact organizations such as GamblingTherapy, Be GambleAware, etc. to get help. Furthermore, never gamble under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

The entire process can be completed online without sending an email or waiting for approval. It takes no more than 15 minutes.
Follow these steps:

1. Click the “Activate Self-Exclusion” button;
2. Choose the self-exclusion period and select which gambling categories you want to be excluded from (or choose all);
3. Confirm your decision by accepting the self-exclusion terms;
4. Submit the request. It will be activated immediately.

You can choose one of the following durations:

• 1 year;
• 3 years;
• 5 years;
• 10 years;
• Lifetime exclusion.
  Once submitted, the self-exclusion takes effect right away and cannot be reversed before the chosen period ends.
  If you are currently taking part in a tournament (for example, a poker tournament), you must finish it before the exclusion applies. Any contributions you made to progressive jackpots before the request will remain in place, but you will not be able to participate in the jackpot after the exclusion is active.

If you need help or have concerns about your gambling habits, the Melbet support team is available at any time. You can reach them by email at [email protected] free of charge. All communication is confidential, and no information will be shared without your consent.
You can also contact independent organisations that provide gambling support:

• Gamblers Anonymous;
• GamblingTherapy;
• GambleAware;
