MeridianBet Tanzania privacy policy: the practical version

This page summarises what the operator's account model means for your data, based on its published terms. It is an independent summary, not the operator's legal document; the binding text sits on the operator's own site.

What the account holds

The account is keyed to your Tanzanian phone number, which acts as the login, the deposit rail and the withdrawal destination. Alongside it the operator stores your betting and transaction history, your password, and whatever identity documents you supply during verification.

Why identity documents are requested

Payouts above 2,000,000 TZS trigger mandatory verification, and the operator may ask for ID on smaller sums. The accepted documents are a passport, driving licence or identity card. This is a licence obligation under Gaming Board of Tanzania oversight, not an optional marketing step.

Documents sent for verification should be photographed in good light with all four corners visible; rejections for unreadable images are the commonest delay in the whole payout chain.

What happens to dormant accounts

An account with no activity for 30 months is treated as dormant. The operator closes it and transfers any remaining balance to the Gaming Board of Tanzania, from where the money can be reclaimed through the regulator. Logging in occasionally is enough to keep an account active.

Sharing and complaints

The terms require accurate personal details and forbid multi-accounting per household, address, phone number and IP. Disputes the operator does not resolve can be escalated to the Gaming Board at info@gamingboard.go.tz, and the operator's own privacy contact is info@meridianbet.co.tz.

A practical request worth making once a year is an export of your own betting history from support; the record shows deposits, stakes and withdrawals, and it is the fastest way to see the real cost of a habit.
