Betting should be enjoyable. If it stops being enjoyable — if it causes stress, conflict at home, financial pressure, or anxiety — that is a signal worth taking seriously. This page explains how to stay in control while using the Melbet platform, how to use the tools available to limit or stop play, and where to get support in Bangladesh if you need it.
Keeping It Under Control — Practical Guidelines
Most people who bet do so without problems. The difference between recreational betting and problematic gambling usually comes down to a few practical habits:
- Set a weekly or monthly deposit limit before you start — not after a losing run
- Treat betting as entertainment with a known cost, not as a way to earn income
- Never chase losses by placing larger bets to recover what you have lost
- Never bet money you cannot afford to lose — rent, food, family expenses are not betting funds
- Take regular breaks during sessions; step away from the screen after a significant loss
- Keep betting separate from major life decisions — job loss, relationship problems, and financial stress are high-risk moments to bet
Self-Assessment — Are You in Control?
Answer these five questions honestly. If you answer yes to two or more, consider using the platform tools below or speaking to someone.
| # | Question |
| 1 | Have you ever bet more than you planned to in a single session? |
| 2 | Have you ever chased losses — placed more bets to try to win back money you lost? |
| 3 | Has betting affected your sleep, concentration, work, or relationships? |
| 4 | Have you kept your betting activity secret from family members? |
| 5 | Have you ever used money meant for bills, food, or other essential costs to fund betting? |
| If you answered yes to two or more questions, speaking to someone today can help. Bangladesh-specific support is free, confidential, and does not require you to admit to illegal activity. Details are at the bottom of this page. |
Using the Melbet Platform Tools
The Melbet platform provides self-management tools in the account settings. These can be accessed by logging in and navigating to Settings → Responsible Gambling.
- Deposit limits: Set a maximum weekly or monthly deposit. Once set, a cooling-off period applies before limits can be raised — this prevents impulsive increases during a losing session
- Loss limits: Cap the maximum you can lose in a defined period
- Session time limits: Receive an alert or automatic logout after a set time
- Reality checks: Periodic on-screen reminders showing how long you have been playing
- Cooling-off: A temporary account break of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days — during this period the account is locked for betting but funds remain accessible
- Self-exclusion: Permanent or long-term closure of your account. Once activated, the exclusion cannot be reversed until the set period expires. Email [email protected] to request self-exclusion if you cannot access it through settings

Under 18 — Protecting Young People
The Melbet platform is restricted to users aged 18 and over. If you are a parent or guardian and are concerned that a young person in your household is accessing betting platforms, most internet providers and device manufacturers offer parental control tools. You can also contact Melbet’s support to request account verification if you suspect a minor has created an account.
