  • Losses arising from a user's failure to comply with these terms;
  • Decisions made by users based on information displayed on the platform;

All services are provided on an "as available" basis, and no guarantees are made regarding uninterrupted access.

General Betting Rules

The following rules apply to all bets placed through the Melbet platform in India. Users are advised to read these rules carefully before placing any bet, as acceptance of a wager constitutes agreement to the conditions described below.

Eligibility to Place Bets

To place a bet, a user must:

  • Hold a verified and fully active account;
  • Be at least 18 years of age;
  • Have sufficient funds available in their account balance;
  • Be accessing the platform from a jurisdiction where such activity is legally permitted.

Bet Acceptance Procedures

All bets are subject to acceptance by the platform. Melbet reserves the right to decline or limit any bet at its discretion, without obligation to provide a reason. A bet is considered accepted only when a unique confirmation reference is generated and displayed to the user.

Odds are subject to change prior to final acceptance. In the event that odds change between the time a bet is submitted and the time it is processed, the user will be notified, and the bet may be declined or reoffered at the updated odds.

Minimum and Maximum Bet Amounts

Betting limits apply across all events and markets. Specific limits vary depending on the sport, event type, and market selected. The applicable minimum and maximum amounts are displayed within the bet slip at the time of placement. Melbet reserves the right to apply individual account limits where necessary.

Calculation of Winnings and Losses

Winnings are calculated by multiplying the accepted stake by the confirmed odds at the time the bet was placed. In the event of a void or cancelled selection within an accumulator, the relevant leg is removed and the remaining selections stand. Void single bets result in the return of the original stake.

All calculations are performed by the platform’s automated systems. In the case of a discrepancy or technical error, the platform’s records shall be considered final, subject to independent review where applicable.

Betting Restrictions

The platform may apply restrictions to specific users or accounts in the following circumstances:

  • Identified patterns of bonus abuse or system exploitation;
  • Suspected use of prohibited tools or information advantages;
  • Regulatory requirements or compliance obligations;
  • Risk management decisions at the platform’s discretion.

Cancellation Policy

Once a bet has been accepted and confirmed, it cannot be cancelled or amended by the user. Bets may be voided by the platform in the following circumstances:

  • The relevant event is cancelled or postponed beyond the defined rescheduling window;
  • A clear and verifiable pricing error occurred at the time of acceptance;
  • The event outcome is affected by circumstances that breach the integrity of the result;
  • Regulatory or legal requirements necessitate cancellation.

In all void cases, the original stake is returned to the user’s account.

Responsible Gambling Practices

Melbet acknowledges that gambling can present risks and is committed to supporting users in maintaining control over their betting activity. The following tools and resources are available to all registered account holders in India.

Self-Management Tools

Users have access to a range of tools designed to support responsible betting behaviour:

  • Deposit Limits: Users may set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps to restrict the amount added to their account within a defined period;
  • Loss Limits: A maximum loss threshold may be applied over a selected timeframe, after which further betting is restricted until the period resets;
  • Wagering Limits: Users may define limits on the total value of bets placed within a given period;
  • Session Time Limits: Users may restrict the duration of individual platform sessions;
  • Self-Exclusion: Users may request temporary or permanent exclusion from the platform, during which access to all betting services will be suspended.

All limit requests are applied immediately or within 24 hours, depending on the nature of the restriction. Requests to reduce limits take effect immediately. Requests to increase limits are subject to a cooling-off period.

Self-Assessment

Users who are uncertain about their gambling habits are encouraged to use the self-assessment resources available within the responsible gambling section of the platform. These tools provide structured guidance to help users evaluate whether their betting behaviour may be causing concern.

External Support Organisations

For users who require additional assistance, the following organisations offer confidential support and information:

  • Gamblers Anonymous India: www.gamblersanonymous.org;
  • iGaming Council: resources available through affiliated support networks;
  • BeGambleAware: www.begambleaware.org (international resource available in English).

Users are encouraged to seek professional support if gambling begins to affect their financial, mental, or personal wellbeing. The platform will cooperate with self-exclusion requests made through any of the above organisations where technically feasible.

Anti-Money Laundering Policy

Melbet operates in compliance with internationally recognised anti-money laundering standards and is committed to preventing its platform from being used for financial crime. All users in India are subject to the AML obligations described in this section.

Legal Obligations

The platform maintains policies designed to detect and prevent:

  • Money laundering through betting activity;
  • Terrorism financing via account deposits or withdrawals;
  • The use of the platform as a conduit for illicit fund transfers.

These obligations are consistent with applicable legal frameworks and the licensing conditions under which the platform operates.

Identity Verification Procedures

Prior to processing significant transactions or upon triggering review thresholds, users may be required to complete full KYC verification. This includes:

  • Submission of valid government-issued identification;
  • Proof of residential address;
  • Documentation confirming the source of funds where deposits are of a significant value;
  • Proof of ownership for any payment method used.

The platform reserves the right to place a hold on accounts or funds pending the completion of identity verification.

Transaction Monitoring

All transactions on the platform are subject to automated and manual monitoring. The platform’s compliance systems are designed to identify:

  • Unusual transaction patterns inconsistent with normal betting behaviour;
  • Large or rapid deposits followed by immediate withdrawal requests;
  • Use of multiple payment methods without clear justification;
  • Activity patterns associated with layering or structuring of funds.

Suspicious Activity Detection and Reporting

Where the platform’s monitoring systems identify potentially suspicious activity, the matter is escalated internally to the compliance team. In cases where there are reasonable grounds for concern, the platform is obligated to file a report with the relevant financial intelligence authority.

Users will not be notified if their account has been flagged for review, as disclosure may constitute a criminal offence under applicable AML legislation.

Consequences of Policy Violations

Failure to comply with AML requirements may result in the following actions:

  • Temporary or permanent suspension of account access;
  • Freezing of account funds pending investigation;
  • Permanent closure of the account with or without release of funds, subject to legal obligations;
  • Referral of relevant information to law enforcement or regulatory authorities.

The platform accepts no liability for losses incurred as a result of account restrictions imposed for AML compliance purposes.

Platform Security Measures

Melbet applies a range of technical and organisational security measures to protect user accounts, personal data, and all financial transactions conducted on the platform. The following outlines the key security frameworks in place for users in India.

Data Encryption

All data transmitted between the user's device and the platform's servers is protected using Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption. This applies to account login sessions, personal data transfers, payment information, and all other communications processed through the platform. Sensitive stored data, including financial records and identity documents, is encrypted at rest using industry-standard protocols.

Two-Factor Authentication

Melbet supports two-factor authentication as an additional layer of account security. When enabled, users are required to confirm their identity through a secondary verification step upon login. This significantly reduces the risk of unauthorised access, even in cases where login credentials have been compromised. Users are encouraged to activate this feature through their account security settings.

Continuous Activity Monitoring

The platform operates a continuous monitoring system designed to detect and respond to abnormal or potentially harmful activity in real time. This includes:

  • Detection of unauthorised login attempts and multiple failed authentication events;
  • Flagging of unusual account activity patterns inconsistent with a user's established behaviour;
  • Automated alerts for transactions that deviate from expected parameters;
  • Monitoring for account takeover indicators, including simultaneous logins from multiple locations.

Organisational Security Practices

Beyond technical controls, the platform maintains the following organisational measures:

  • Restricted internal access to user data on a need-to-know basis;
  • Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments conducted by qualified personnel;
  • Staff training on data protection, fraud prevention, and security protocols;
  • Incident response procedures to address and contain any confirmed security breach promptly.

User Responsibilities

Users also bear responsibility for the security of their own accounts. The platform advises all registered users to:

  • Use a strong, unique password that is not shared across other services;
  • Never share login credentials or access links with any third party;
  • Log out of their account after each session, particularly on shared or public devices;
  • Contact the platform's support team immediately if any suspicious activity is detected on their account.
