Gambling always carries the risk of losing money. Plan your play so your finances and emotions stay protected.

• Play only if you are 18+ and it is legal in your state.
• Decide a budget you can afford to lose before you start.
• Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits in your account.
• Use time limits and reality checks to keep sessions short.
• Never chase losses; stop when you hit your limit.
• Keep betting funds separate from rent, bills, and savings.
• Avoid playing when stressed, tired, or under the influence.
• Take regular breaks and days off from betting.
• Protect minors; do not share devices or passwords.
• On Melbet, you can request a cool-off or self-exclusion at any time.

Problem gambling can affect anyone. It is a serious condition, so watch for early signs and act quickly.

• Spending more than you can afford or breaking your limits.
• Needing to bet larger amounts to feel the same thrill.
• Chasing losses after a bad session.
• Hiding play from family or friends.
• Borrowing money or selling items to fund betting.
• Missing work, studies, or social plans due to gambling.
• Feeling restless, irritable, or low when not playing.
• Using betting to escape stress, anxiety, or sadness.
• Repeated failed attempts to cut down or stop.
• Thinking about betting most of the day.

If you are worried about your play, take immediate steps to regain control.
