Gambling Responsibly
Online betting and casino games are entertainment activities that carry financial risk. At ahsanmedicine.com and MelBet Nepal, we take responsible gambling seriously. This page provides tools, resources, and guidance for anyone who feels their gambling may be becoming a problem.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone regardless of age, income, or experience. Watch for these warning signs:
- Spending more money or time gambling than intended
- Chasing losses — betting more to recover money already lost
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
- Neglecting work, family, or social obligations due to gambling
- Feeling irritable, anxious, or depressed when not gambling
- Lying to family or friends about gambling activity
- Gambling to escape stress, loneliness, or emotional problems
- Failing to stop despite wanting to
If you recognise three or more of these signs, we strongly encourage you to use the self-exclusion tools below and seek professional support.

Advice for Safe Gambling
- Set a budget before you start — decide how much you can afford to lose and stick to it
- Treat gambling as entertainment, not income — expected long-term return on all gambling is negative
- Never chase losses — increasing your bets to recover losses nearly always makes the situation worse
- Take regular breaks and use the session timer tool
- Do not gamble when upset, stressed, or under the influence
- Keep gambling separate from personal finances — never use rent, food, or bill money
