mbak Jurisdiction Notice

Online gaming operates under different legal frameworks across regions. In Southeast Asia, regulatory approaches vary widely—some jurisdictions permit licensed operators, others restrict or prohibit the activity entirely. We at mbak respect these distinctions and operate only where local law permits.

This notice explains where mbak services are available, who is eligible to hold an account, and what responsibility you bear for verifying your own legal standing. We do not claim to be licensed in any specific country, nor do we offer services universally. Instead, we maintain a clear boundary: we provide our platform only to users in supported jurisdictions where online gaming is permitted by applicable law.

If you are considering opening an mbak account, read this page carefully. It sets out our service scope, your obligations, and how we handle jurisdiction-related issues. If you are unsure whether our services are lawful in your location, consult local authorities or legal counsel before proceeding.

Service Availability and Geographic Scope

We at mbak do not offer our services in jurisdictions where online wagering is prohibited or restricted by law. Our platform is available only in supported regions where local regulations either permit online gaming or do not explicitly forbid it. This includes users in select cities across Indonesia (Jakarta, Surabaya, Bandung, Medan, Semarang) and neighbouring markets where gambling services are lawful.

We maintain a list of restricted jurisdictions and update it regularly as laws change. If your country or region is on this list, we will not allow you to register an mbak account. If you attempt to register from a prohibited jurisdiction, our system will block your account creation and your deposit will be returned in full.

Account Eligibility on mbak

To open an account on mbak, you must:

• Be of legal age in your jurisdiction (typically 18 or 21, depending on local law).
• Reside in a jurisdiction where online gaming is permitted by applicable law.
• Not be listed on any sanctions or exclusion list maintained by local authorities.
• Provide accurate, verifiable personal information during registration.
• Agree to our Terms & Conditions and this Jurisdiction Notice.

We conduct Know-Your-Customer (KYC) verification on all accounts. During this process, we confirm your identity, age, and residential location. If we determine that you reside in a prohibited jurisdiction or do not meet eligibility requirements, we will close your account and return any remaining balance to your original deposit method.

How mbak Enforces Jurisdiction Restrictions

During account creation, you must provide your residential address. Our system cross-references this address against our restricted-jurisdiction database. If your location is prohibited, registration will fail. If registration succeeds but we later discover through KYC verification that you are ineligible, we will suspend your account pending investigation.

We also monitor account activity for signs of geographic manipulation—for example, VPN usage, proxy access, or frequent location changes. If we detect such patterns, we may restrict your account or require additional verification. Account holders who circumvent our jurisdiction controls face account closure and potential forfeiture of funds.

Jurisdiction compliance is not optional for us—it is foundational. We operate within the law because that is how we sustain trust with our users and regulators alike.

Data Protection, Anti-Money Laundering, and Legal Inquiries

We at mbak collect personal data (name, address, date of birth, payment details) solely to verify your identity, prevent fraud, and comply with anti-money-laundering (AML) and Know-Your-Customer (KYC) regulations. Your data is stored securely and accessed only by authorised mbak staff and, where required by law, by government authorities.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We share your data only with payment processors (DANA, e-wallet, mobile banking, local payment, online payment, e-wallet, mobile banking, local payment, online payment, e-wallet) to process deposits and withdrawals, and with government agencies when legally required. Our full privacy policy is available on our Privacy Policy page; it details exactly what we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.

Anti-Money-Laundering Compliance on mbak

We maintain AML controls to prevent our platform from being used for illicit financial activity. This means:

• We require KYC verification before you can withdraw funds.
• We monitor transactions for suspicious patterns (rapid deposits followed by immediate withdrawal, unusually large bets, etc.).
• We do not allow cross-account transfers or withdrawals to third-party accounts.
• We may freeze your account pending investigation if we detect AML concerns.

These controls exist to protect both our platform and you. If your account is frozen due to AML concerns, our compliance team will contact you to explain and work toward resolution. If we determine that suspicious activity has occurred, we are obligated by law to report it to relevant authorities.

Restricted Jurisdictions and Account Closure

If we discover that you are accessing mbak from a prohibited jurisdiction, or if your KYC verification reveals you are ineligible, we will close your account. When we close an account:

1. Your account is immediately suspended and you cannot place new bets or claim bonuses.
2. Any remaining balance is calculated and prepared for return.
3. Funds are returned to your original deposit method within standard business windows (typically 1–2 business days).
4. You receive a notification explaining the reason for closure.

We do not retain funds from closed accounts except where legally required (e.g., to cover outstanding disputes or regulatory fines). Your balance belongs to you and will be returned.

Legal Inquiries and Law Enforcement Cooperation

If a government agency or law enforcement body requests information about an mbak account, we cooperate fully. We respond to lawful requests for account data, transaction history, or personal information. Account holders are typically notified of such requests unless doing so would compromise an investigation.

If you receive a legal notice or inquiry related to your mbak account, contact our legal team immediately. You can reach our legal department via email at the address provided in our footer. Do not ignore official legal documents; respond promptly and provide us with copies so we can coordinate our response.

Updates to Jurisdiction Policy

As laws and regulations evolve, we may update our supported jurisdictions, eligibility criteria, or compliance procedures. We will announce major changes via email to all affected account holders at least 30 days in advance. Changes to this Jurisdiction Notice take effect on the date specified in our notification.

If you remain an mbak account holder after the effective date of a policy change, you are deemed to accept the updated terms. If you do not agree, you may close your account and request a withdrawal of your balance before the change takes effect.
