Mela Bet Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions explain the account, betting, payment and service rules for Ethiopian players using Mela Bet. Read them alongside the rules displayed for each product, payment method and promotion before committing funds. Betting involves a risk of loss.

1. Acceptance of These Terms

By accessing, registering with, logging into or using Mela Bet, you agree to follow these terms and the applicable product rules. If you do not agree, stop using the service. Check the current terms before betting or claiming an offer; do not assume that earlier conditions still apply.

2. Eligibility and Age Restrictions

You must meet the legal minimum age for betting and gaming in your jurisdiction and any additional eligibility requirements. Underage use is prohibited. Availability may depend on your location and applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations.

Check the Age Restriction Policy and State / Regional Restrictions before registering. Do not use location-masking tools to bypass restrictions.

3. Account Registration and User Information

Provide accurate, current account-holder information. Requested data may include your name, phone number, email, date of birth, address, payment details and identity documents where required.

• Hold only one account unless Mela Bet explicitly permits otherwise.
• Do not register for another person or share your account.
• Keep login details private and update information when it changes.
• You are responsible for activity through your account, subject to applicable law and investigation of reported unauthorized access.

Step 1: Check eligibility and the official domain. Step 2: Complete Mela Bet registration with your own details. Step 3: Complete requested checks and use Mela Bet login through an official channel. See the Privacy Policy for data handling.

4. Account Security and Login Responsibility

Protect your password, device, SIM card, email, payment wallet and other access credentials. Use a unique password and sign out on shared devices. Mela Bet should never ask you to share passwords publicly or with third parties.

Report suspicious activity, unauthorized access, lost login details or possible fraud promptly through Contact Us. Use official support channels, not unsolicited messages or unverified agents.

5. Website, App and Service Availability

Access may be offered through the website, mobile version, Mela Bet app or other official channels. Before downloading an app or APK, verify its source through the official website; avoid files sent by strangers.

Maintenance, technical faults, provider downtime, payment interruptions, odds-feed delays, network problems and security checks may interrupt service. Check Mela Bet open now for availability information. Unless stated otherwise, support hours, promotion deadlines and operational notices use Ethiopian Time (EAT, UTC+3).

6. Betting Rules

• A bet is accepted only when confirmed by the system. A submission attempt alone is not confirmation.
• Odds may change before confirmation. Check selections, stake, market and odds on your bet slip.
• Rejected, cancelled or voided bets are handled, including any stake return, under the applicable rules.
• Incorrect odds, technical errors, duplicate bets, system abuse or suspicious activity may trigger settlement review.
• Final settlement may depend on official data providers, event organizers and published Mela Bet rules.

Read market rules in Mela Bet sport betting, Mela Bet live and Mela Bet football. No selection has a guaranteed outcome. Keep the confirmed bet ID if you need a settlement review.

7. Live Betting, Keno and Games

Live betting, Mela Bet keno and Mela Bet games may have separate timing, settlement, round-cancellation, payout and technical rules. Review the rules inside each product before playing. Live displays may lag behind actual events.

Outcomes, acceptance and payouts may depend on the official game system, provider rules, published product terms and random number generator (RNG) or certification data where applicable. This statement does not confirm certification of any particular game.

8. Bonuses and Promotions

Bonuses, free bets, promo codes, cashback and odds boosts have offer-specific conditions. Before using a Mela Bet bonus code, check:

• Eligibility, start and end dates, and minimum deposit or stake;
• Wagering requirements and qualifying markets or games;
• Maximum bonus amount, maximum winnings from bonus funds and withdrawal limits;
• Bonus-abuse restrictions and conditions permitting cancellation or changes.

Compare offers by their restrictions, not only their headline value. A bonus may restrict access to funds until its conditions are met; it does not remove betting risk.

9. Deposits, Withdrawals and Payment Rules

Use only supported payment methods belonging to you. Methods, transaction limits, processing times and fees may vary by account status, verification level, risk review and provider availability. Compare the displayed fees, limits and requirements before authorizing payment.

Step 1: Select a supported method and check its terms. Step 2: Confirm payment details and retain the transaction record. Step 3: For a withdrawal, submit the request through your account and complete required checks.

Withdrawals may require identity verification, payment-ownership checks, bonus wagering completion, fraud screening, anti-money-laundering review or other compliance checks. Submission does not guarantee immediate payment. Check transaction status before repeating an interrupted payment.

10. Verification, KYC and Compliance Checks

Mela Bet may request information to verify identity, age, address, payment ownership, source of funds or account activity. These customer due diligence and know-your-customer (KYC) checks help establish who controls the account and its funds.

Depending on accepted evidence, requests may include an identity document or passport, proof of address, payment confirmation or a selfie check. Confirm accepted formats through official support. Incomplete verification may restrict deposits, bonuses, betting, withdrawals or account access under applicable rules. Submit documents only through designated secure channels.

11. Prohibited Use and Account Abuse

The following may result in rejected bets, cancelled bonuses, withdrawal holds pending review, or account suspension or closure, subject to applicable rules and law:

• Underage use, false registration information or unauthorized multiple accounts;
• Another person's payment method, bonus abuse, collusion or fraud;
• Chargebacks or disputed payment authorization requiring investigation;
• Unauthorized bots, scripts, automation or scraping;
• Exploiting bugs, technical errors or incorrect odds;
• Money laundering, suspicious transactions, abusive conduct toward support staff or attempts to bypass regional restrictions.

12. Account Suspension, Blocking and Closure

Mela Bet may restrict, suspend, block or close accounts for suspected fraud, failed verification, legal restrictions, payment disputes, security issues, duplicate accounts, bonus abuse, prohibited locations or breaches of these terms. Restrictions may also follow a responsible gaming request.

Any treatment of pending bets and balances remains subject to applicable rules, review and legal requirements; a restriction does not itself determine that funds are forfeited. You may request closure or available limits through support. See Responsible Gaming.

13. Responsible Gaming

Betting should be entertainment, not income or a solution to financial problems. Set affordable money and time limits, never chase losses, and stop if gambling causes stress, debt, conflict or loss of control.

Deposit limits, time-outs, self-exclusion or account closure may be available. Ask support which tools apply to your account and consult Responsible Gaming. Do not create another account to bypass a restriction.

14. Legal Status, License and Regulation

Publication requirement: This section must be reviewed by the legal/compliance team before publication.

Users should verify current operator identification, licensing and regulatory status through Legal Status in Ethiopia, License & Regulation and About Us, and check the competent authority's latest information. These terms do not independently establish a license or government approval. Use is subject to applicable Ethiopian laws and local eligibility requirements.

15. Privacy, Cookies and Data Use

Personal data, account information, cookies and tracking technologies are handled under the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. Review them for purposes of processing, data protection, sharing, retention and available choices.

16. Limitation of Liability and Disclaimer

Except where applicable law requires otherwise, Mela Bet is not responsible for losses caused by user error, poor connectivity, device problems, third-party payment delays, force majeure events beyond reasonable control, incorrect information supplied by users or account misuse. These limitations do not override mandatory consumer rights. Read the Disclaimer.

17. Complaints and Contact

Use Contact Us for account issues, settlement reviews, withdrawals, bonus disputes, verification, responsible gaming or technical problems.

Step 1: Describe the issue and desired resolution. Step 2: Provide your username, registered phone or email, date, transaction or bet ID, and relevant screenshots or earlier support messages. Step 3: Keep the complaint reference and request the applicable complaint-handling procedure if unresolved.

Never publish passwords, security codes or sensitive documents in public channels. Use the designated secure route if support requires identity evidence.
