If it is established that a minor has accessed the platform, the account will be immediately closed and all funds held will be handled in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Anti-Money Laundering
Melbet operates in accordance with internationally recognised Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorist Financing (CTF) standards. The platform has established internal policies, procedures, and controls to detect, prevent, and report suspicious financial activity.

- Source of funds documentation, where applicable
- Proof of ownership of the payment method used
All submitted documents are reviewed and retained in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
Transaction Monitoring
The platform employs automated and manual systems to monitor financial activity on an ongoing basis. The following transaction patterns may trigger a review:
- Large or unusually frequent deposits or withdrawals
- Multiple transactions structured to remain below reporting thresholds
- Transfers to or from high-risk jurisdictions
- Rapid cycling of funds without corresponding wagering activity
Detection of Suspicious Activity
Melbet maintains a dedicated compliance function responsible for identifying and reporting suspicious activity. Where reasonable grounds exist to suspect money laundering or terrorist financing, the platform is obligated to:
- File a report with the relevant financial intelligence authorities
- Suspend the processing of transactions pending investigation
- Refrain from disclosing to the account holder that a report has been made (tipping-off restrictions apply)
Account Restrictions and Fund Freezing
In the event of a suspected AML or CTF violation, Melbet reserves the right to:
- Immediately restrict access to the account and all associated services
- Place a hold on any funds held within the account
- Require the submission of additional documentation before any funds are released
- Permanently close the account and report the matter to relevant authorities
Funds subject to an AML hold will not be released until the matter has been fully investigated and resolved in compliance with applicable legal obligations.
Privacy Policy
Melbet is committed to protecting the personal data of its users and maintaining compliance with applicable data protection legislation. This section outlines the categories of personal information collected, the purposes for which it is used, and the rights available to you as a data subject.
Personal Data Collected
During the course of your registration and use of the platform’s services, the following categories of personal data may be collected:
- Identity Data: Full name, date of birth, nationality, and government-issued identification numbers
- Contact Data: Email address, mobile number, and residential address
- Financial Data: Payment method details, transaction history, and account balance information
- Technical Data: IP address, device type, browser type, and session data
- Usage Data: Betting history, login activity, and preferences
- Verification Data: Copies of identification documents submitted during KYC procedures
How Personal Data Is Used
The data collected is used for the following lawful purposes:
- Account registration and identity verification
- Processing deposits, withdrawals, and bet settlements
- Compliance with AML, CTF, and regulatory obligations
- Detection and prevention of fraud and unauthorised account access
- Communication regarding account status, transactions, and platform updates
- Improving the quality and functionality of the platform’s services
Personal data is not sold to third parties. It may be shared with regulatory authorities, payment processors, and identity verification providers strictly as required for the above purposes.
User Rights Regarding Personal Data
You hold the following rights in relation to your personal data:
- Right of Access: You may request a copy of the personal data held about you.
- Right to Rectification: You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Right to Erasure: You may request deletion of your data, subject to legal retention obligations.
- Right to Restriction: You may request that the processing of your data be limited in certain circumstances.
- Right to Object: You may object to the processing of your data for specific purposes, including direct marketing.
- Right to Data Portability: You may request that your data be provided in a structured, machine-readable format.
To exercise any of these rights, you may contact the platform’s support team through the official channels listed on the website. Requests will be handled within the timeframes specified under applicable law.
Data Retention
Personal data is retained for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including compliance with legal, regulatory, and reporting obligations. Following account closure, certain data may be retained for a period of up to seven years in accordance with financial record-keeping requirements.
Security
The protection of user accounts and financial transactions is a central operational priority for the platform. Melbet employs a multi-layered security infrastructure designed to safeguard user data and maintain the integrity of all services.
Data Encryption
All data transmitted between your device and the platform’s servers is protected using industry-standard Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption. This applies to all account activities, including login sessions, deposits, withdrawals, and personal data submissions. Stored data is subject to encryption protocols that restrict access to authorised personnel only.
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Users are strongly encouraged to enable two-factor authentication on their accounts. When activated, 2FA requires a secondary verification step, such as a one-time password (OTP) sent to your registered mobile number or email address, in addition to your regular login credentials. This measure significantly reduces the risk of unauthorised account access.
Account Monitoring and Fraud Detection
The platform operates continuous monitoring systems to detect unusual or potentially fraudulent account activity. These systems flag and investigate the following:
- Login attempts from unrecognised devices or locations
- Multiple failed authentication attempts
- Unusual patterns in wagering or financial transactions
- Simultaneous login sessions from different geographic locations
Where suspicious activity is detected, the platform may temporarily restrict account access and request identity re-verification before restoring full functionality.
User Responsibilities
The security of your account also depends on the steps you take to protect your credentials. You are responsible for:
- Keeping your password confidential and not sharing it with any third party
- Using a strong, unique password for your account
- Logging out of your account after each session, particularly on shared or public devices
- Notifying the platform’s support team immediately if you suspect unauthorised access to your account
Platform Integrity
Melbet conducts regular security audits and penetration testing to identify and address vulnerabilities within its systems. Third-party security specialists are engaged periodically to assess the platform’s defences and recommend improvements. Any identified vulnerabilities are addressed in accordance with established incident response procedures.
