Use of Collected Information

Processing is lawful, fair, and transparent. Personal information is used to:

  • Provide account services and operate games and sportsbook functions.
  • Facilitate deposits, withdrawals, and refunds through authorised payment partners.
  • Perform security checks, KYC, anti-fraud, and risk monitoring.
  • Offer responsible gaming tools, service notices, and policy updates.
  • Improve the online platforms, fix issues, and run analytics and statistics.
  • Personalise content and communications in line with user preferences.
  • Conduct marketing only where consent exists, with an easy opt-out.
  • Meet legal requirements, enforce terms, and manage claims.

Access to Information

How users can access, update, or delete data

  • Account settings: view and edit profile, contacts, preferences, and certain documents.
  • Support request: submit a data request through the help centre or the contact details published on the website. Identity verification may be required.
  • Response time: requests are handled within a reasonable time, typically within 30 days, subject to lawful extensions.

Correction and deletion procedures

  • Incorrect information is corrected on request or by the user in account settings.
  • Deletion is available where no legal basis requires continued retention, for example record-keeping under financial or AML laws.
  • When deletion is not possible, processing will be restricted to the minimum needed.

By using Melbet, the user consents to necessary security checks and to payment data processing by authorised providers that support transactions and verification.

Protection of Children’s Privacy

The services are intended for adults aged 18 years and above. Accounts for minors are not permitted.

The operator cannot verify age without appropriate documents. If a parent or guardian believes a minor has provided personal data, a request for deletion can be submitted through the support channels on the website. Verified requests will be actioned, and the account will be closed and related information erased where legally allowed.

International Data Transfers

Personal data may be processed outside India in countries where partners, affiliates, or service providers operate. By using the services, the user consents to such cross-border transfers.

Appropriate safeguards are applied, including contractual obligations, confidentiality requirements, and security controls. Where relevant, standard contractual protections are used for international transfers. All recipients are required to handle information confidentially and only for the documented purposes.
