It is not in a position to influence or direct the business decisions, policies, or conduct of those companies. No responsibility is accepted for any actions, violations, or obligations attributed to those independently licensed entities. Any claims or disputes relating to their services must be directed to the relevant company or to the competent licensing authority that governs their operations.

How to Use the Licence Verification System

A digital licence verification system is available to confirm the current status and authenticity of the 12Bet operating licence. Users can access the verification seal displayed on the platform to check the licence directly with the issuing authority.
