Responsible Gaming

Gambling always involves the risk of financial loss. Plan ahead so playing stays under control.

• Set a budget you can afford to lose. Do not use money for rent, bills, or essentials.
• Decide limits for deposits, losses, stakes, and session time before you start.
• Use account tools to set limits, reality checks, and spending controls.
• Take regular breaks. Track how long you play.
• Do not chase losses. Accept outcomes as part of gambling.
• Keep betting separate from work, study, and family time.
• Review your transaction history to learn patterns and adjust behaviour.
• Avoid gambling when upset, tired, or after alcohol.
• Keep minors safe. Enable device-level parental controls and secure your login.
• Melbet enforces 18+ play and identity checks to protect players.

Early warning signs can be subtle. Watch for the patterns below and act early. Gambling addiction is a serious condition and needs attention.

• Spending more than planned or breaking set limits.
• Chasing losses or raising stakes to recover money.
• Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when not playing.
• Hiding betting from family or friends.
• Borrowing, selling items, or using credit to gamble.
• Missing work, classes, or social plans due to gambling.
• Using betting to escape stress, sadness, or worry.
• Repeated failed attempts to cut down or stop.
• Neglecting bills and essentials, or unpaid debts.
