Responsible Gaming

Gambling always involves financial loss risk. Play for entertainment, not income.

On Melbet, practical tools help you set boundaries and stay safe.

Follow these useful tips to keep control and protect your budget:

• Decide a spend you can afford to lose. Stick to it.
• Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits in your account.
• Do not chase losses or increase stakes to recover money.
• Keep playing time short. Enable reality checks and session limits.
• Keep separate money for bills, savings, and essentials.
• Avoid betting when tired, stressed, or under the influence.
• Learn the rules of a game or market before you bet.
• Track wins and losses in a simple log to learn your patterns.
• Use a cool-off or self-exclusion if control feels difficult.
• Gambling is for adults only. Under 18s cannot open an account.

Warning signs can be subtle at first. Gambling addiction is a serious condition that needs attention.

• Thinking about betting most of the day or planning the next session.
• Increasing stakes to get the same excitement.
• Chasing losses or trying to win back money quickly.
• Hiding play, spending, or statements from family or friends.
• Missing work, studies, or social time due to gambling.
• Feeling irritable, anxious, or low when not playing.
• Borrowing money or selling items to fund bets.
• Repeated failed attempts to cut down or stop.
• Using betting to escape stress, sadness, or worry.
• Skipping bills or essentials so that playing can continue.

Taking action early helps protect your wellbeing. Melbet recommends practical steps to prevent harm and support recovery:

• Set limits before you start: deposit, loss, wager, and session time.
• Enable reality checks and time reminders to manage play.
• Plan regular breaks and days off from betting.
• Use a strict budget. Do not use credit or borrow to gamble.
• Keep a weekly spend record and review patterns.
• Turn off notifications that trigger impulse betting.
• Take a cool-off or time-out when emotions run high.
• Request self-exclusion for a longer break from playing.
• Install site-blocking software on your devices if needed.
• Speak to a counsellor or helpline for professional support. Melbet support can apply or adjust account limits and exclusions on request.
