Account & Registration
How do I create a melbe account?
Visit the melbe homepage, click "Sign Up" in the top right corner, and fill in your mobile number, email, and password. You'll receive a verification code via SMS or email. Enter the code to activate your account. Once registered, complete the KYC verification by uploading a government-issued ID (Philippine National ID, passport, or driver's license) to unlock deposits and withdrawals. The entire process takes about 5 minutes.
What documents do I need for KYC verification on melbe?
melbe requires one government-issued ID for KYC verification. Accepted documents include Philippine National ID, passport, driver's license, Unified Multi-Purpose ID (UMID), SSS ID, or Postal ID. Upload a clear photo or scan showing your full name, photo, date of birth, and ID number. Verification typically completes within 24 hours. If your ID is unclear or expired, melbe support will contact you to resubmit.
I forgot my melbe password. How do I reset it?
Click "Forgot Password" on the melbe login page. Enter your registered email or mobile number, and melbe will send a password reset link via email or SMS.

If you don't receive the reset link within 5 minutes, check your spam folder or contact melbe support via live chat for assistance.
Can I have multiple melbe accounts?
No. melbe's terms and conditions prohibit users from creating multiple accounts. Each player is allowed one account per person, household, IP address, and payment method. Duplicate accounts will be suspended, and any winnings may be forfeited. If you accidentally created a duplicate account, contact melbe support immediately to close the extra account and avoid penalties.
How do I close my melbe account permanently?
To close your melbe account permanently, log in and navigate to Account Settings > Responsible Gaming > Permanent Self-Exclusion. Alternatively, contact melbe customer support via live chat or email and request account closure. Withdraw any remaining balance before closing, as closed accounts cannot be reactivated. If you're struggling with problem gambling, melbe encourages you to use self-exclusion tools or seek support from PAGCOR responsible gaming resources.

melbe offers a 100% welcome bonus up to ₱10,000 on your first deposit. For example, deposit ₱5,000 and receive an additional ₱5,000 in bonus funds. The bonus has 20x wagering requirements, meaning you must wager ₱200,000 (₱10,000 x 20) before withdrawing bonus winnings. Check the melbe promotions page for current bonus terms, eligible games, and maximum bet limits while using bonus funds.
What are wagering requirements on melbe bonuses?
Wagering requirements (also called rollover or playthrough) are the number of times you must bet your bonus before withdrawing winnings. For example, a ₱1,000 bonus with 20x wagering requires ₱20,000 in total bets. Not all games contribute equally: slots usually count 100%, while table games may count 10-20%. Check each bonus's terms for wagering requirements, time limits (usually 30 days), and game contributions.
Can I cancel a melbe bonus after claiming it?
Yes, you can cancel an active bonus by navigating to Account > Bonuses and clicking "Cancel Bonus." Canceling a bonus forfeits all bonus funds and any winnings earned using the bonus, but your deposited funds remain intact. If you want to withdraw your deposit without completing wagering requirements, cancel the bonus first. Once canceled, bonuses cannot be reclaimed.
Does melbe have a loyalty or VIP program?
Yes, melbe operates a tiered VIP program with levels from Bronze to Diamond. Earn loyalty points by wagering on slots, live casino, and sports betting.
