Responsible Gaming

Promoting Responsible Gaming.
We want all of our users to enjoy real-money gambling as a planned and budgeted entertainment option - like an evening out for dinner, the theater, or a sporting event. But, as with many other things in life, it is possible to get too much of a good thing. Moderation is the key for all who gamble.

The decision to gamble is a personal choice. No one should feel pressure to gamble - from others or themselves.

Gambling should not be perceived as essential to having a good time.

Limits should be set before starting to gamble. Money spent on gambling should be considered the cost of entertainment. People should gamble only with money they can afford to lose. A person who chooses to gamble should set time and monetary limits and adhere to them.

There are times when people should not gamble. Certain emotional states can heighten the risks associated with gambling. Avoid gambling when feeling lonely, angry, depressed, stressed, or when coping with the death of a loved one. Similarly, gambling should not be used as a way to solve personal or family problems, or to impress others. Never gamble when it interferes with work or family responsibilities, when in recovery for addictive disorders or dependencies, when the gambling is illegal, or when trying to make up for prior gambling losses.

Excessive use of alcohol when gambling can be risky. Irresponsibly using alcohol can affect a person's judgment and interfere with the ability to adhere to predetermined limits.

Preventing Underage Gambling
It is illegal for anyone under 18 to gamble for real-money on betmelive.com.

We perform an electronic verification using a third-party data reference company to validate the age and identity of all users. We reserve the right to ask for age verification information from the user and suspend the user's account until he provides information that verifies appropriate age to our satisfaction.

Unfortunately, no system is foolproof. If you know a person under 18 who is registered with the betmelive.com real-money platform, please notify our customer support team. If anyone with an account is found to be under the age of 18, the account will be closed, all bets placed will become null and void, and any winnings will be forfeited. Other legal ramifications may also apply.  

Setting Limits
Most gamblers are casual gamblers - they do it for fun and entertainment. Experts agree that casual gambling with affordable wagers can be a harmless, enjoyable pastime. Responsible gamblers understand that gambling entails risk. That is why gambling responsibly means setting predetermined, acceptable limits. People who set responsible limits are gambling with funds they can afford to lose. Those limits differ from person to person, according to their financial situations. Setting those limits - and sticking to them - is crucial. A user can establish his own limits and provide direction to others by developing a set of personal guidelines to determine whether, when, and how much to gamble. We want players to have a great time on our site and gamble responsibly. On the betmelive.com, a user can set the following limits on his account:
