How do I file a formal complaint against MelBet?

Submit a support ticket via melbet.ng/rules/information/contacts with subject 'DISPUTE, [Username], [Date]'. Attach full KYC plus transaction documentation plus a calm written timeline. 24/7 live chat is the fastest channel. Phone fallback: +442038077601 (UK international). If unresolved in 7 days: NLRC at nlrc-gov.ng plus parallel filing for amounts ₦1M+: EFCC at efcc.gov.ng plus FCCPC at fccpc.gov.ng plus NDPC at ndpc.gov.ng. International: AskGamblers plus Casino.guru (active MelBet/1xBet representative engagement). Per the 1xBet operator-group sibling Sept 2024 ₦52.5M case, EFCC escalation has been actionable for the operator group.

What documents do I need for a MelBet support ticket?

Per documented MelBet KYC requirements (melbet.com/bonus/rules: the account needs to be verified): username and account ID; one of NIN slip, voter's card, driver's licence, or international passport; a recent utility bill or bank statement in your name (within 90 days); BVN slip; selfie holding ID for biometric verification on first large withdrawal. Per Trustpilot payment-process complaint pattern, submit complete KYC documentation early to avoid verification-loop friction.

Which regulator should I contact if MelBet won't pay my winnings?

Primary: NLRC at nlrc-gov.ng (MelBet's NG regulator per Soccer24 licence verification). For amounts above ₦1M: EFCC at efcc.gov.ng. Per the 1xBet operator-group sibling pattern (Sept 2024 ₦52.5M case plus 2 other documented cases ₦3.175M / ₦2.2M per prior session research), EFCC has been an actionable escalation channel for the operator group. Consumer-rights: FCCPC at fccpc.gov.ng. Data-protection: NDPC at ndpc.gov.ng. International: Curacao Gaming Commission (parent licensee); AskGamblers plus Casino.guru (active MelBet/1xBet representative engagement). Public-visibility social media tags historically accelerate resolution per the cross-cohort pattern.
