Combating Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing

Our company, MelBet, is against money laundering and financing financial terrorism, so we take all the necessary steps to make sure this doesn’t happen on our platforms. That’s why we’re required to notify the relevant government agencies if we spot any suspicious activity on a customer’s account that might be breaking the law.

All funds used for illegal purposes will be immediately frozen and seized. This is done to prevent financial crimes and the financing of terrorism.

Melbet fights money laundering.

Money Laundering

If suspicious activity is detected on a player’s account and we have reason to believe that it is related to money laundering, the account will be frozen. In this case, an investigation will be launched immediately to clarify the situation. Here is what we mean by money laundering on our website:

  • Concealing and withholding information about the source of funds, their location, movement, and ownership. This category also includes concealing any data about property rights obtained illegally;
  • Converting, moving, receiving, or any other use of property obtained illegally in order to conceal the fact of its illegal source. Assisting criminals and using MelBet platforms to avoid legal consequences also falls under this category;
  • Illegally obtaining property in another country and using the MelBet website to conceal this information.

Rules and Support for Combating Financial Terrorism

Most countries are fighting and trying to prevent criminal capital from entering their economies. We also support this policy, which is why our website has special rules in place to assist international organisations in combating money laundering and terrorist financing. By opening an account on any of our platforms, you agree to the following rules:

  • You agree to comply with anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing laws, including the AML policy set out on this page;
  • You do not have any information that the funds used for deposits or withdrawals were obtained from an illegal source. You also confirm that these funds are in no way related to the legalisation of criminal proceeds or any other activity that may be considered a violation of current legislation in accordance with the rules of any international organisations;
  • You agree to provide us with any information we may require in relation to the prevention of money laundering.

Information about Illegal Activities and Account Blocking

We collect and store customer data from identity documents and are required to report changes to customer accounts.

We constantly monitor accounts to prevent money laundering or terrorist financing. If suspicious activity related to criminal activity is detected on a player’s account, we have the right to block it without explanation (in accordance with international law). In order to prevent crime, we conduct initial and subsequent AML identity checks. Here’s how it works:

  • We will ask you to provide the necessary documents or any other data to confirm your identity;
  • We will collect all the data we receive from you and use it to carry out the check;
  • We will then check the information against lists of individuals suspected of financing terrorism obtained from government agencies. The minimum set of data includes your full name, residential address, and date of birth;
  • During the verification process, you may also be asked to provide the source of the funds you intend to deposit or have already deposited on our website.

In order to verify the accuracy of the information you provided during registration, copies of the following documents may be requested:

  • Passport or any other identity document issued by a government agency containing the holder’s full name, date of birth, and photograph;
  • Copies of utility bills or other official documents that can serve as proof of the player’s address.

In some cases, we may require additional documents. If necessary, these documents must be notarised.
