Responsible Gambling at Melbet
In Canada, we promote responsible gambling so play stays enjoyable and manageable. If spending starts to drift, we can help you keep stakes and expenses under control. Our support team includes trained professionals who can recognize early warning signs and share practical steps to help you stay steady.
Navigation
If excitement makes budgeting harder, the approach stays simple and structured. You can set account limits based on what feels comfortable. The aim is to keep spending within your staking power and reduce the risk of overspending.
- Play for fun rather than treating gambling like income.
- Set a personal limit before you start any game.
- Estimate an affordable amount you are ready to lose.
- Avoid playing games with money you already lost.
- Step back if the excitement starts to overwhelm decisions.
Self-Check & Early Warning Signs
You have options that can help you confirm whether betting is still healthy. A quick self-check may reveal patterns such as chasing losses or betting to escape boredom. If several points feel uncomfortably familiar, it may be time to adjust your habits. Regaining control often starts with honest reflection and clear boundaries.
Quick self-check prompts
- Do you think you can escape boredom by placing bets?
- Do you have depression or feel lost if you lose a wager?
- Do you prefer wagering on bets to spending on your needs?
- Is betting drawing you off from your friends?
- Do you want to recoup your losses?
If you answer “yes” often, trained advisors can help you work through it. Several organizations also provide guidance and support for betting problems. Responsible Gaming Foundation has offered support since 2014.
- Gamblers Anonymous
- Responsible Gaming Foundation
- Gambling Treatment Advice
- GamCare
Account Controls & Break Options
Your account stays under your control, and it helps to use built-in protections early. Setting limits from the start keeps spending more predictable and less stressful. If you need a break, self-exclusion can help you pause and reset. Self-exclusion is available anytime, and returning depends on your self-exclusion longevity.
Common control options
- Set deposit limits directly from deposit options after you log in.
- Choose a limit that matches your staking power and personal budget.
- Use self-exclusion if urges feel difficult to manage.
Age Limits & Safer Access
Responsible gambling also includes protecting young people and keeping access age-appropriate. We restrict underage betting, and you must be 18 and above to create an account. We also aim to help you and your children stay safe around online betting. If questions come up, our support team can walk you through the available options.
