Before opening an account or moving funds, check your eligibility, the rules for your chosen product and any payment conditions. These Terms and Conditions explain user obligations and the checks that may affect access, bets and payouts.
1. Acceptance of These Terms
By accessing, registering with, logging into or using Mela Bet, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, stop using the site. Terms may change when rules, services, promotions, payment methods or legal requirements change. The latest terms published at /terms-and-conditions are the active terms; review them before using a changed service.
2. Eligibility and Age Restrictions
You must meet the legal minimum age for betting and gaming in your jurisdiction and satisfy local eligibility requirements. Age, identity, address, phone number, payment ownership or other details may be checked before full access, bonuses, deposits, withdrawals or account reopening.
Read the Age Restriction Policy and State / Regional Restrictions. Availability for Ethiopian players depends on applicable local requirements.
3. Account Registration and User Information
Recommended order: Step 1: Check eligibility before Mela Bet registration. Step 2: Provide accurate, current account-holder information. Step 3: Keep credentials private and use Mela Bet login through an official channel.
Only one account per person is allowed unless explicitly authorized otherwise. Do not register for someone else. You are responsible for activity through your account. Required data may include name, phone number, email, date of birth, address, payment details and identity documents. Update changed details; 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. Mela Bet should never ask you to share passwords publicly or with third parties. Check the domain against established official communications; a logo alone is not proof of authenticity.
Report suspicious activity, unauthorized access, lost login details or possible fraud through Contact Us. Avoid further transactions until the security concern is addressed.
5. Website, App and Service Availability
Access may be provided through the website, mobile version, app or other official channels. Maintenance, technical faults, provider downtime, payment interruptions, odds feed delays, network problems and security checks may interrupt service.
For the Mela Bet app, use only the official download route, including for any APK offered. Compare mobile access by available functions and verification steps, not appearance alone. Check Mela Bet open now for relevant availability information. Unless otherwise stated, support hours, promotion deadlines and operational notices use Ethiopian Time (EAT).
6. Betting Rules
Check the selection, stake, market and odds before confirming a bet. Odds may change beforehand; acceptance occurs only when the system confirms the bet, not when you tap the button.
Rejected, cancelled or voided bets may have stakes returned under applicable betting 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 or Mela Bet rules.
Review product rules for Mela Bet sport betting, Mela Bet live and Mela Bet football. Betting carries a risk of loss; no result is guaranteed.
7. Live Betting, Keno and Games
Read the rules inside each product before playing. Live betting, Mela Bet keno and Mela Bet games may have separate timing, settlement, round cancellation, payout and technical rules. Outcomes, acceptance and payouts may depend on the official game system, provider rules, RNG or certification data where applicable, and published product terms. A delayed display is not proof of acceptance.
8. Bonuses and Promotions
Bonuses, free bets, promo codes, cashback and odds boosts have offer-specific bonus terms. Before using a Mela Bet bonus code or claiming another offer, 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 permitted cancellation or changes.
A promotion may be cancelled or changed where its rules allow. Compare offers by conditions and withdrawal restrictions, not the headline amount. Promotional funds do not guarantee profit.
9. Deposits, Withdrawals and Payment Rules
Use only supported payment methods that you are authorized to use. Methods, transaction limits, fees and processing times may vary with account status, verification level, risk review and provider availability.
Step 1: Check fees, limits and payment authorization before depositing. Step 2: Keep a record of the transaction. Step 3: Before requesting a withdrawal, check identity and payment ownership requirements and complete applicable bonus wagering. Fraud screening, anti-money-laundering review and other compliance checks may also apply. Compare methods by disclosed costs and processing conditions; do not assume identical withdrawal procedures.
10. Verification, KYC and Compliance Checks
Customer due diligence and KYC requirements may involve checks of identity, age, address, payment ownership, source of funds or account activity. Depending on accepted evidence, requests may include an ID, passport, proof of address, payment confirmation, selfie check or other legally acceptable evidence. Confirm accepted documents before submission and use a secure official channel.
Incomplete verification may limit deposits, bonuses, betting, withdrawals or account access under applicable rules.
11. Prohibited Use and Account Abuse
The following may lead to rejected bets, cancelled bonuses, withheld withdrawals, account review, suspension or closure, subject to applicable rules and law:
- Underage use, false registration information or unauthorized multiple accounts.
- Using another person’s payment method, bonus abuse or collusion.
- Fraud, chargebacks, money laundering or suspicious transactions.
- Bots, scripts, automation, scraping or exploiting errors, bugs or incorrect odds.
- Abusive behavior toward support staff or bypassing regional restrictions.
12. Account Suspension, Blocking and Closure
Mela Bet may temporarily 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. A responsible gaming request may also require restricted access.
You may request closure or responsible gaming limits through official support. Check Responsible Gaming for available measures. Closure does not necessarily end outstanding verification or transaction reviews.
13. Responsible Gaming
Betting should be entertainment, not income or a solution to financial problems. Set spending and time limits, avoid chasing 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. Consult Responsible Gaming and ask support which tools apply to your account. Do not use another account to bypass a restriction.
14. Legal Status, License and Regulation
Use is subject to applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations and the operator’s terms. Verify current operator identification, licensing and regulatory status through Legal Status in Ethiopia, License & Regulation and About Us. Check the competent authority’s latest information where relevant. This page does not establish a license, official approval or regulatory compliance.
15. Privacy, Cookies and Data Use
Personal data, account information, cookies and tracking technologies are handled according to the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. Review these policies for data use, secure handling of personal data and available privacy choices before submitting information.
16. Limitation of Liability and Disclaimer
Except where applicable law says otherwise, Mela Bet is not responsible for losses caused by user error, poor internet connections, device issues, third-party payment delays, force majeure events, incorrect information you supply or account misuse. These limits do not override mandatory consumer protection rights. Read the Disclaimer alongside the relevant product rules.
17. Complaints and Contact
Use Contact Us for account issues, settlement queries, withdrawals, bonus disputes, verification, responsible gaming or technical problems.
Step 1: Describe the issue and requested resolution. Step 2: Include your username, phone or email, date, transaction or bet ID, and relevant screenshots or support messages. Step 3: Retain the correspondence and request further review through the stated complaint-handling procedure if unresolved. Share sensitive documents only through a secure official communication channel; never publish them or passwords publicly.
