Melbet Rules and Regulations in India

By accessing and using the Melbet platform in India, each user enters into a binding legal agreement with the operator. These general terms define the framework within which all services are delivered, accounts are maintained, and disputes are resolved.

User Agreement and Eligibility

Use of the platform is restricted to individuals who meet all of the following requirements:

• Must be at least 18 years of age at the time of registration;
• Must not be a resident of a jurisdiction where online betting is prohibited under local law;
• Must provide accurate and verifiable personal information during account registration;

Any account found to be in violation of these eligibility conditions may be suspended or permanently closed without prior notice.

Melbet’s Rights to Modify Terms

The operator retains the right to amend, update, or replace any section of these terms and conditions at any time. Notifications regarding material changes may be issued via email, platform notifications, or by updating the publication date on this page. Continued use of the platform following such updates constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. Users who do not agree with any modification are required to discontinue use of the platform and close their account.

Principles of Proper Platform Use

All registered users are expected to use the platform in accordance with applicable laws and in good faith. The following conduct is strictly prohibited:

• Attempting to manipulate betting outcomes through collusion, insider information, or automated systems;
• Using third-party software, bots, or scripts to interact with the platform;
• Exploiting technical errors, system glitches, or bonus structures in a manner inconsistent with normal use;
• Engaging in any form of fraudulent activity, including chargebacks or false identity claims;
• Sharing account credentials with third parties or allowing others to operate your account.

The operator reserves the right to void bets, suspend accounts, and withhold funds where prohibited conduct is identified.

Content Protection

All content published on the Melbet platform, including but not limited to text, graphics, data, odds, and software interfaces, is the intellectual property of the operator or its licensed partners. Reproduction, redistribution, or commercial use of any platform content without prior written authorisation is prohibited.

Liability Limitations

The operator does not accept liability for:

• Losses arising from technical disruptions, server downtime, or connectivity failures beyond its reasonable control;
• Decisions made by users based on information published on the platform;
• Third-party service failures, including payment processors or data providers;
• Any indirect, incidental, or consequential losses resulting from use of the platform.

The platform is provided on an as-available basis, and no guarantees are made regarding uninterrupted access to services.

All bets placed on the Melbet platform are subject to the general betting regulations outlined in this section. These rules apply to all sports betting markets, virtual events, and other wagering services available to users in India.

Eligibility to Place Bets

Only registered users who have verified their account and meet the platform’s eligibility criteria are permitted to place bets. Bets submitted by unverified accounts may be held pending completion of identity verification procedures.

Bet Acceptance Procedures

A bet is considered accepted only after the platform has issued a confirmation with a unique bet reference number. Bets submitted during periods of technical error, price suspension, or market closure may be rejected. The operator reserves the right to decline any bet without providing a reason.

Additionally:

• Odds displayed at the time of bet submission are those applied to the accepted wager, subject to confirmation;
• In the event of an obvious error in odds display, the operator reserves the right to void or recalculate the bet at the correct odds;
• Live betting submissions are subject to brief delays, during which odds may change before confirmation is issued.

Minimum and Maximum Betting Amounts

Betting limits on the platform vary by sport, event type, and market. General parameters include:

• Minimum single bet amount: INR 40 (subject to market-specific rules);
• Maximum bet limits are applied per event and per market, and may be adjusted without prior notice;
• Accumulator bets are subject to separate maximum payout limits, which vary by combination and event.

Users are advised to review current limits displayed within each market before placing a wager.

Calculation of Wins and Losses

Winnings are calculated by multiplying the accepted stake by the confirmed odds at the time of bet placement. For accumulator bets, individual odds are multiplied sequentially. Winnings are credited to the user’s account balance upon official settlement of the relevant event.

Key settlement principles include:

• Bets are settled based on official results provided by recognised sports authorities or data providers;
• In the event of a result dispute, settlement may be delayed until the official result is confirmed;
• Void bets are returned to the user’s account at the original stake amount.

Betting Restrictions

The operator may impose restrictions on specific user accounts or betting markets under the following circumstances:

• Suspicion of fraudulent activity or breach of platform rules;
• Irregular betting patterns inconsistent with normal user behaviour;
• Regulatory requirements applicable to specific event types or jurisdictions.

Restrictions may include reduced maximum stakes, delayed bet acceptance, or temporary suspension of betting rights.

Cancellation Policies

Once a bet has been accepted and confirmed, it cannot be cancelled or amended by the user. Cancellations initiated by the operator may occur in the following cases:

• Technical errors affecting odds or market availability;
• Event cancellation or postponement beyond the permitted rescheduling window;
• Detection of suspicious activity associated with the event or the account.

In all operator-initiated cancellation cases, the original stake is returned to the user’s account.

All financial transactions on the Melbet platform are governed by the payment rules outlined in this section. Users in India are expected to read and understand these conditions before initiating any deposit or withdrawal.

Account Funding Rules

Deposits may only be made from payment accounts or instruments registered in the name of the account holder. Third-party funding is not permitted under any circumstances. All deposits are processed in INR for Indian users unless an alternative currency is selected at the time of transaction.

Available Deposit Methods

The following deposit methods are generally available to users in India:

• UPI (Unified Payments Interface);
• NetBanking;
• Paytm and other supported e-wallets;
• Cryptocurrency (Bitcoin and other supported assets);
• Bank cards (Visa, Mastercard, where supported).

Minimum deposit amounts and any applicable processing fees vary by method and are displayed at the point of transaction. The operator does not charge internal deposit fees on most methods, though the user’s payment provider may apply its own charges.

Withdrawal Methods and Limits

Withdrawals are processed to the same method used for the most recent deposit, where technically possible. Available withdrawal channels include:

• UPI;
• NetBanking;
• Cryptocurrency wallets;
• Supported e-wallets.

Withdrawal limits are as follows:

• Minimum withdrawal amount: INR 1,000 (subject to method-specific rules);
• Maximum withdrawal amounts vary by method and account verification status;
• Withdrawals exceeding specified thresholds may require additional documentation.

Transaction Processing Timeframes

Processing times differ by method:

• E-wallets and UPI: up to 24 hours;
• Bank transfers: 3 to 5 business days;
• Cryptocurrency: typically within 1 hour, subject to network confirmation times;
• Card withdrawals: 3 to 7 business days depending on the issuing bank.

The operator processes withdrawal requests within 24 hours of approval. Delays caused by the user’s financial institution are outside the operator’s control.

Identity Verification and KYC Requirements

All users are required to complete identity verification before withdrawals are processed. The following documents may be requested:

• Government-issued photo identification (Aadhaar card, PAN card, or passport);
• Proof of address dated within the last three months;
• Proof of payment method ownership.

Failure to provide requested documentation within the stipulated timeframe may result in withdrawal delays or account restrictions.

Transaction Restrictions and Cancellation Policies

The operator reserves the right to:

• Decline or delay any transaction where fraud or policy violation is suspected;
• Request additional verification for large or unusual transactions;
• Cancel pending withdrawals where the account is under investigation.

Deposits are generally non-reversible once processed. Withdrawal requests may be cancelled by the user before they are marked as processed within the platform’s cashier interface. Once processing has commenced, cancellation is not available.

Melbet acknowledges the risks associated with betting activity and is committed to promoting responsible gambling practices among all users in India. The platform provides a range of tools and resources to help users maintain control over their betting behaviour.

Available Self-Management Tools

Registered users may access the following responsible gambling tools through their account settings or by contacting support:

• Deposit limits: users may set daily, weekly, or monthly caps on the amount deposited into their account;
• Bet limits: restrictions on the maximum stake permitted per bet within a defined period;
• Loss limits: a ceiling on net losses over a specified timeframe;
• Session time limits: controls on the duration of individual platform sessions;
• Self-exclusion: temporary or permanent suspension of account access, available upon request;
• Cool-off periods: short-term account restrictions for users who need a brief break from betting activity.

Once a restrictive limit is applied, it takes effect immediately. Increases to limits or removal of self-exclusion are subject to a mandatory waiting period.

Risk Self-Assessment

Users are encouraged to periodically assess their betting behaviour. Signs that may indicate a problematic relationship with gambling include:

• Betting with funds intended for essential expenses;
• Increasing bet amounts to recover previous losses;
• Difficulty stopping or reducing betting activity;
• Neglecting personal or professional responsibilities due to gambling.

Users who identify these patterns are strongly advised to use the available self-management tools or seek external support.

• iGaming Council’s Responsible Gambling resources;
• Vandrevala Foundation Helpline (India): 1860-2662-345, available 24 hours;

The operator does not benefit from the use of these services and encourages users to contact them without hesitation.

Melbet operates in accordance with internationally recognised anti-money laundering (AML) standards and implements policies to prevent the use of the platform for money laundering or the financing of terrorism. All users in India are subject to these obligations.

Legal Obligations

The platform is required to:

• Identify and verify the identity of all account holders prior to processing financial transactions;
• Monitor account and transaction activity on an ongoing basis;
• Report suspicious activity to relevant authorities in accordance with applicable legal requirements;
• Maintain records of user identification and transaction history for the periods required by law.

Know Your Customer (KYC) Procedures

As part of its AML compliance framework, the platform conducts KYC verification for all registered accounts. This process may include:

• Verification of government-issued identification documents;
• Confirmation of residential address through official documentation;
• Source of funds verification for accounts transacting above defined thresholds;
• Enhanced due diligence for high-value or high-frequency accounts.

Users are required to cooperate fully with all KYC requests. Delays in providing documentation may result in temporary restrictions on account activity.

Transaction Monitoring

All deposits, withdrawals, and betting transactions are subject to automated and manual monitoring. The platform applies risk-based analysis to detect:

• Unusually large or frequent transactions inconsistent with the account’s history;
• Structuring of transactions to avoid reporting thresholds;
• Deposits followed by immediate withdrawal without meaningful betting activity;
• Use of multiple payment methods or accounts associated with the same individual.

Consequences of Policy Violations

Where AML policy violations are identified or reasonably suspected, the operator may take the following actions:

• Temporarily restrict or suspend account access pending investigation;
• Freeze funds held within the account;
• Permanently close the account and retain funds where legally required to do so;
• Report the user’s details and transaction history to relevant regulatory or law enforcement authorities.

Users whose accounts are subject to AML-related restrictions will be notified to the extent permitted by law.

Data Encryption

All data transmitted between the user’s device and the platform is encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols.

Continuous Activity Monitoring

The platform applies continuous monitoring protocols across all accounts and transactions. These systems are designed to:

• Identify unusual transaction patterns that may indicate account compromise;
• Flag and investigate activity inconsistent with the account’s established usage history;
• Respond to security incidents promptly and notify affected users where appropriate.

User Responsibilities

The security of an account is a shared responsibility. Users are required to:

• Keep login credentials strictly confidential and not share them with any third party;
• Use a unique, strong password not used on other platforms or services;
• Contact support immediately upon suspecting unauthorised access to their account;
• Ensure the device used to access the platform has up-to-date security software installed.

The operator cannot be held liable for losses resulting from the user’s failure to maintain the security of their account credentials.
