Melbet’s Rights to Amend Terms

It is the user’s responsibility to review the terms periodically.

Content Protection

All content available on the Melbet platform, including text, graphics, software, odds data, and trademarks, is protected by intellectual property laws. Users are not permitted to reproduce, distribute, or commercially exploit any platform content without prior written authorisation.

Liability Limitations

Melbet limits its liability to the extent permitted under applicable law. The platform is not liable for:

• Service interruptions caused by technical failures, maintenance, or events beyond its control.
• Losses resulting from a user’s failure to comply with the terms and conditions.
• Third-party content or services linked from the platform.

The following rules apply to all bets placed on the Melbet platform. Users are advised to read this section carefully before placing any wager, as these conditions directly affect bet acceptance, settlement, and payouts.

Eligibility to Place Bets

To place a bet on the platform, users must:

• Hold a verified and active Melbet account.
• Have sufficient account balance to cover the intended wager.
• Be of legal age (18 years or above) as confirmed during registration.
• Not be subject to any account restrictions imposed by the platform.

Bet Acceptance Procedures

All bets are subject to acceptance by Melbet. A bet is considered confirmed only after the user receives an on-screen confirmation and the bet appears in the account’s betting history. Melbet reserves the right to refuse or limit any bet without providing a reason. Bets placed on events where the outcome is already known will be voided.

Minimum and Maximum Bet Amounts

• Minimum bet amounts vary depending on the sport, event type, and market selected.
• Maximum bet limits are applied per event and may be adjusted by the platform at its discretion.
• Users can view applicable limits within the betting interface before confirming a wager.

Calculation of Wins and Losses

• Winnings are calculated by multiplying the stake by the accepted odds at the time the bet was placed.
• For accumulator or combination bets, all selections must be correct for the bet to win.
• In cases of event cancellation or postponement, the relevant selection is typically settled as a single or removed from the accumulator, depending on platform rules for that market.
• Final settlement is based on the official result at the end of the standard event duration, unless otherwise specified.

Betting Restrictions

Melbet may apply restrictions on specific users, accounts, or markets under the following circumstances:

• Suspected or confirmed fraudulent activity.
• Abnormal betting patterns that suggest exploitation of pricing errors.
• Regulatory requirements applicable to certain markets or event types.

Cancellation Policy

• Once a bet is confirmed, it cannot be cancelled or amended by the user.
• Melbet may cancel bets in cases of obvious pricing errors, system faults, or where a bet has been placed in violation of these rules.
• Users will be notified of any cancellation, and the stake will be returned to the account balance.

Melbet operates in compliance with applicable anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) regulations. The platform has implemented procedures to detect, prevent, and report suspicious financial activity across all user accounts.

Legal Obligations

Melbet is required under its licensing obligations to:

• Prevent the use of the platform for money laundering or terrorism financing purposes.
• Report suspicious transactions to relevant regulatory and law enforcement authorities.
• Maintain records of user transactions and verification documents for the period required by applicable regulations.

User Identity Verification (KYC Procedures)

All users are subject to Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures. Verification may be required:

• At the time of registration or first withdrawal request.
• When cumulative deposits or withdrawals exceed specified thresholds.
• When account activity is flagged by the platform’s monitoring systems.

Documents that may be requested include government-issued identification, proof of address, and proof of payment method ownership. Accounts that fail to complete verification within the required timeframe may have transactions suspended until the process is completed.

Transaction Monitoring

The platform employs automated and manual systems to monitor account activity for indicators of suspicious behaviour, including:

• Unusually large or frequent deposits with minimal betting activity.
• Multiple rapid deposits followed by immediate withdrawal requests.
• Use of multiple payment methods or currencies inconsistent with the account’s typical activity.
• Deposits sourced from third parties not registered to the account holder.

Consequences of Policy Violations

In cases where suspicious activity is identified or a user fails to cooperate with verification requests, Melbet may take the following actions:

• Temporarily or permanently restrict access to the account.
• Freeze funds pending investigation or regulatory review.
• Report the activity to the relevant financial intelligence or law enforcement authority.
• Permanently close the account and withhold associated funds where confirmed violations are established.

Users are reminded that attempting to use the platform for any form of financial crime is a serious offence and may result in criminal prosecution under applicable laws.

Melbet collects and processes personal data in accordance with its privacy obligations under applicable data protection frameworks. This section outlines what data is collected, how it is used, and the rights available to users regarding their personal information.

Personal Data Collected

During registration and use of the platform, the following categories of personal data may be collected:

• Identity Data: Full name, date of birth, and nationality.
• Contact Data: Email address, phone number, and residential address.
• Financial Data: Payment method details, transaction history, and account balances.
• Technical Data: IP address, device identifiers, browser type, and login activity.
• Usage Data: Betting history, session duration, and platform interaction records.

How Personal Data Is Used

Collected data is used for the following purposes:

• Creating and managing user accounts.
• Processing deposits, withdrawals, and bet settlements.
• Conducting identity verification and fraud prevention checks.
• Complying with legal and regulatory obligations, including AML and KYC requirements.
• Sending account-related communications, including security alerts and terms updates.
• Improving platform performance and user experience based on aggregated usage data.

Data Sharing

Personal data is not sold to third parties. Data may be shared with:

• Payment processors and financial institutions for transaction processing.
• Regulatory authorities and law enforcement agencies when legally required.
• Third-party service providers who support platform operations, subject to data processing agreements.

User Rights

Users have the following rights in relation to their personal data:

• Access: The right to request a copy of personal data held by the platform.
• Correction: The right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Erasure: The right to request deletion of personal data, subject to applicable legal retention requirements.
• Restriction: The right to request that processing of certain data be limited.
• Data Portability: The right to receive personal data in a structured, machine-readable format where technically feasible.

Requests relating to personal data rights may be submitted through the platform’s customer support channels. Requests will be processed within the timeframe required under applicable law.

Data Retention

Personal data is retained for the duration of the account relationship and for the period required by applicable regulations following account closure. Financial records and verification documents are typically retained for a minimum of five years in accordance with AML obligations.

Melbet maintains a comprehensive set of technical and organisational security measures to protect user accounts, personal data, and financial transactions on the platform.

Data Encryption

All data transmitted between users and the platform is protected using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology. This ensures that sensitive information, including login credentials and financial data, cannot be intercepted during transmission. Data stored on platform servers is also subject to encryption protocols to prevent unauthorised access.

Two-Factor Authentication

Users are strongly encouraged to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on their accounts. This additional layer of security requires a verification code, sent to the user’s registered mobile number or generated through an authenticator application, to be entered alongside the account password when logging in. This reduces the risk of unauthorised account access, even if login credentials are compromised.

Account Activity Monitoring

The platform employs continuous monitoring systems that track account activity for indicators of unauthorised access or suspicious behaviour, including:

• Login attempts from unrecognised devices or geographic locations.
• Rapid or unusual changes to account settings, such as contact details or payment methods.
• Multiple failed login attempts within a short period.

When unusual activity is detected, the platform may temporarily suspend account access and notify the account holder through their registered contact details.

User Responsibilities for Account Security

Users are responsible for maintaining the security of their own accounts. The following practices are strongly recommended:

• Use a strong, unique password that is not shared with other services.
• Do not share account login credentials with any other person.
• Log out of the account after each session, particularly on shared or public devices.
• Report any suspected unauthorised access to the support team immediately.

Organisational Security Practices

Access to user data within the platform’s internal systems is restricted to authorised personnel on a need-to-know basis. Staff involved in data processing are subject to confidentiality obligations. Regular security assessments and audits are conducted to identify and address potential vulnerabilities in the platform’s infrastructure.
