Melbet acknowledges that gambling-related harm is a serious concern and is committed to providing tools and resources that support responsible betting behaviour among its users in Bangladesh.

Available Control Tools

Registered users have access to several account-level tools designed to assist in managing betting activity:

• Deposit limits: Users may set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps to restrict the amount of funds added to their account within a given period.
• Betting limits: Restrictions may be applied to the maximum stake per individual bet or per session.
• Session time reminders: Users may configure alerts that notify them of time spent on the platform during an active session.
• Self-exclusion: Users who require a temporary or permanent suspension of their account for responsible gambling reasons may request self-exclusion through the platform's support channels. Self-exclusion periods can range from short-term breaks to indefinite account closures.
• Account cooling-off periods: A shorter-duration pause option is available for users who wish to take a brief break without committing to full self-exclusion.

Self-Assessment

Users are encouraged to periodically assess their own gambling behaviour. Indicators that may suggest problematic gambling include:

• Betting with funds intended for essential expenses.
• Chasing losses with increased stakes.
• Difficulty in reducing or stopping betting activity.
• Gambling negatively affecting personal, professional, or financial obligations.

External Support and Resources

For users in Bangladesh seeking assistance with gambling-related concerns, the following types of organisations provide support and guidance:

• National mental health helplines available through the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) Bangladesh.
• Gamblers Anonymous: An international peer support programme for individuals affected by compulsive gambling behaviour.
• BeGambleAware (begambleaware.org): An independent organisation providing advice, support, and treatment referrals for those affected by gambling-related harm.
• GamCare (gamcare.org.uk): Provides information, support, and counselling for the treatment of problem gambling.

Users are encouraged to reach out to these resources independently if they believe their gambling behaviour requires external support.

Melbet operates under strict anti-money laundering (AML) obligations as part of its licensing and regulatory framework. All users accessing the platform in Bangladesh are subject to these policies as a condition of account use.

Legal Obligations

The platform is legally obligated to take reasonable measures to prevent the use of its services for money laundering, terrorism financing, or any other form of financial crime. These obligations require the platform to:

• Maintain internal AML procedures consistent with international financial compliance standards.
• Report suspicious transactions to relevant authorities where legally required.
• Cooperate with regulatory bodies and law enforcement agencies during investigations.

User Identity Verification (KYC)

All users are required to complete a Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process. The verification procedure includes:

• Submission of a valid, government-issued photo identification document (e.g., national identity card or passport).
• Provision of a recent proof of residential address.
• Verification of the payment methods associated with the account.

Verification may be requested at registration, at the time of the first withdrawal, or at any point during the account lifecycle if deemed necessary by the platform's compliance team.

Transaction Monitoring

The platform operates automated and manual transaction monitoring systems that are designed to detect irregular or suspicious financial behaviour. Monitored indicators include:

• Unusually large or frequent deposits and withdrawals inconsistent with the user's stated account activity.
• Multiple account registrations linked to the same individual, device, or payment method.
• Patterns of deposits followed by immediate withdrawals with minimal betting activity.

Suspicious Activity Detection

If the platform identifies transactions or account behaviour that raises AML concerns, the following actions may be taken:

• A temporary hold may be placed on the account and associated funds pending investigation.
• Additional documentation may be requested from the user to clarify the source of funds.
• The relevant transaction details may be reported to applicable regulatory or law enforcement bodies.

Consequences of Policy Violations

Accounts found to be in breach of AML policies may be subject to:

• Temporary suspension or permanent closure of the account.
• Freezing of account balances pending resolution of the investigation.
• Forfeiture of funds where confirmed illegal activity is identified.
• Reporting to relevant financial intelligence or law enforcement authorities.

Melbet collects, processes, and stores personal data in accordance with applicable data protection legislation. Users registered from Bangladesh are subject to the data practices described in this section.

Personal Data Collected

The platform collects the following categories of personal information during the account registration and usage process:

• Identity data: Full name, date of birth, and government-issued identification numbers.
• Contact data: Email address, phone number, and residential address.
• Financial data: Payment method details, transaction records, and account balance history.
• Technical data: IP address, device information, browser type, and session data.
• Behavioural data: Betting history, game preferences, and interaction patterns on the platform.

Purpose of Data Collection

Personal data is collected and used for the following purposes:

• Account creation, authentication, and management.
• Processing of deposits, withdrawals, and other financial transactions.
• Compliance with KYC, AML, and regulatory reporting obligations.
• Detection and prevention of fraud, abuse, and security breaches.
• Communication of account-related notifications and service updates.
• Improvement of platform functionality and user experience.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

User data may be shared with:

• Payment processors and financial institutions for transaction processing.
• Regulatory and law enforcement bodies where legally required.
• Third-party service providers engaged to support platform operations, subject to confidentiality obligations.

Personal data is not sold to third parties for commercial or marketing purposes.

User Rights Regarding Personal Data

Users hold the following rights with respect to their personal data:

• Right to access: Users may request a copy of the personal data held about them.
• Right to rectification: Users may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Right to erasure: In applicable circumstances, users may request deletion of their personal data, subject to the platform's legal retention obligations.
• Right to restriction: Users may request that data processing be limited in certain situations.
• Right to data portability: Users may request their data in a structured, machine-readable format where technically feasible.

Requests related to personal data rights may be submitted through the platform's official support channels.

Data Retention

Personal data is retained for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including compliance with legal, accounting, and regulatory requirements. Following account closure, certain data may be retained for a legally prescribed period.

Melbet applies a combination of technical and organisational security measures to protect user accounts, personal data, and all financial transactions conducted on the platform.

Data Encryption

All data transmitted between the user's device and the platform's servers is protected using industry-standard Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption protocols. This applies to:

• Account login and registration processes.
• Payment transactions and financial data exchanges.
• Personal information submitted during identity verification.

Two-Factor Authentication

Users are encouraged to activate two-factor authentication (2FA) on their accounts. When enabled, 2FA requires a secondary verification step in addition to the standard username and password, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorised account access. Supported 2FA methods may include:

• One-time passwords (OTP) delivered via SMS to the registered phone number.
• Authenticator application codes.

Continuous Activity Monitoring

The platform maintains ongoing monitoring systems designed to identify and respond to security threats in a timely manner. These systems are configured to detect:

• Unusual login activity, including access from unrecognised devices or locations.
• Multiple failed authentication attempts that may indicate brute-force access attempts.
• Irregular account behaviour that may suggest account compromise or misuse.

If suspicious activity is detected, the platform may temporarily restrict account access and notify the registered user through their verified contact details.

User Responsibilities for Account Security

Users are responsible for maintaining the security of their own account credentials. This includes:

• Using a strong, unique password not shared across multiple services.
• Not disclosing login credentials to any third party.
• Logging out of the platform after each session, particularly on shared or public devices.
• Notifying the platform's support team immediately if unauthorised access to the account is suspected.

Organisational Security Measures

Beyond technical controls, Melbet enforces internal security policies that govern how staff interact with user data and platform systems. These include access controls, staff training on data handling, and regular internal audits to assess compliance with security standards.
