Gambling always carries the risk of financial loss. Plan your play and budget before you start. Melbet provides tools to help you stay in control and play responsibly.

Follow these useful tips to protect your finances and mindset:

• Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits before placing any bets.
• Use only disposable income. Do not borrow to fund betting or gambling.
• Decide a loss limit and a win goal. Stop when either is reached.
• Avoid chasing losses. Accept outcomes as part of playing.
• Take regular breaks. Use session reminders to manage time.
• Keep gambling separate from work, studies, and family time.
• Track your activity. Review bet history and spending to learn your patterns.
• Treat betting as entertainment, not a way to make money.
• If your mood or sleep is affected, pause your play and seek support.

Betting addiction can build up over time and affect your health, money, and relationships. Warning signs need attention and timely help.

Key indicators:

• Spending more time or money on gambling than planned.
• Hiding betting activity or lying to friends and family.
• Chasing losses or raising stakes to feel the same excitement.
• Using gambling to escape stress, sadness, or boredom.
• Struggling to pay bills or using credit for betting.
• Restlessness, irritability, or poor sleep related to gambling.
• Neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities.
• Repeated failed attempts to cut down or stop.
• Feeling guilt or anxiety after playing.
• Ignoring limits, time-outs, or self-exclusion once set.

Gambling addiction is a serious condition that requires focused support and care.

Recovery starts by taking small, steady steps and using support. Melbet offers account controls to help you prevent harm and regain balance.

Practical recommendations:

• Set deposit and loss limits that match your budget, then lower them if needed.
• Activate session reminders to keep track of playing time.
• Take a short time-out if you feel pressure or stress while playing.
• Use self-exclusion for a longer break when control feels difficult.
• Turn off marketing notifications in your account to reduce triggers.
• Keep a simple money plan: list monthly expenses first, then decide a safe entertainment amount.
• Do not gamble when tired, upset, or after drinking.
• Remove saved payment details to slow down impulsive bets.
• Ask a trusted person to check in on your limits and spending.
• Speak to a professional counsellor for structured help and ongoing support.
