Melbet review for live football bettors
Live markets around the clock, HD streams and cash out, backed by 50+ payment methods.
Melbet earns 4.4 out of 5 from us, and it is built for bettors who live in the in-play tab. It runs on the same engine as 1xBet, which shows in the sheer volume: 43 sports, 8,000+ events every day, a Bet Builder, HD streams on selected fixtures and full cash out. Bets can even go on through Telegram. Getting started costs as little as $1 with a 100% first-deposit match, and the cashier backs it up with 50+ payment methods, 40+ cryptocurrencies among them.

Welcome offer
A 100% match from just $1
Your first Melbet deposit is matched in full, and it only takes $1, or the same in your own currency, to qualify. At registration you pick whether the bonus goes to sports or casino. The maximum appears in your currency as you sign up, and a few countries run larger tiered versions of their own. Before that first deposit, tick "Take part in bonus offers" in My Account, fill in your profile and confirm your phone number by SMS, and the bonus is credited automatically.
Key sports terms:
- Minimum deposit: $1 or the same in your currency
- Rollover: 5x the bonus, played through on accumulators
- Qualifying bets: accas with 3+ legs, every leg priced 1.40 or higher
- Time limit: 30 days after registration
- Also note: refunded bets don't count, and each customer gets one welcome bonus
Clearing through accumulators is standard across the 1xBet platform family, which suits anyone who already enjoys putting a multiple together. Run any acca through our betting calculators first to see the potential return. After the welcome, weekday deposit matches, acca boosts and cashback keep topping you up.
Make your first deposit
Pay in $1 or more through any of the 50+ methods and the matching bonus is credited automatically.

Our verdict
Built for volume, quick to pay
Melbet launched in 2012 and shares its betting platform with 1xBet. It is a separate company, but that engine explains the scale. Each day brings more than 8,000 pre-match and in-play events across 43 sports, and the live tools are all here: a Bet Builder, HD streaming on selected events, full cash out and match statistics beside the markets. Away from sport there is a casino of 5,000+ games plus virtual sports. The extras are what set it apart: bet placement through Telegram, a daily Multi Bet of the Day and 15-20 promotions running at once, from weekday deposit matches to acca boosts and cashback.
The cashier is where Melbet really wins. Over 50 options are tailored to each country, from Visa and Mastercard to e-wallets, mobile money and 40+ cryptocurrencies. Deposits hit instantly, and once you are verified, e-wallet, mobile money and crypto payouts arrive within a day, crypto frequently in under an hour. Its international site holds a Curaçao Gaming Authority licence, and Melbet runs separately licensed local sites in Nigeria, Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire as well.
New players get a straightforward welcome: the first deposit is matched 100% from as little as $1, with a choice of sports or casino. Turn the sports version into cash by rolling it over 5x on accumulators inside 30 days, a light ask by industry standards. If you judge a bookmaker on how much it lets you bet in-play and how fast it pays out, Melbet belongs near the top of your list.

Cons
Standout features
Bet straight from Telegram
Melbet's Telegram channel lets you place and track bets without loading the site at all, which is ideal when your data signal is weak.
The full in-play toolkit
Combine selections from a single match with the Bet Builder, take a full or partial cash out at the right moment, and watch selected games in HD as the odds move.
A promotions board that never empties
At any one time 15 to 20 offers are live, including weekday deposit matches, acca boosts, cashback and the Multi Bet of the Day.
Markets and coverage
Forty-three sports and 8,000+ events every day put Melbet's coupon closer to a betting exchange in size than a standard bookmaker. Football comes first: Europe's top leagues share the menu with competitions across Africa, Asia and the Americas, and the live section runs around the clock. Check our free football tips before kick-off and you have a full week of angles.
Football
Premier League, Champions League and the rest of Europe's elite divisions, alongside African leagues and international tournaments, with deep market lists on the headline games.
Other sports
43 sports all told: tennis, basketball, cricket, ice hockey, volleyball, table tennis and a long tail of niche options, plus esports.
In-play
Round-the-clock live betting backed by match stats, cash out and HD streams on selected events.
Esports
Full markets and dedicated promotions on CS2, Dota 2, LoL and more.
App and mobile betting
Android, iOS and Telegram on one login
Android users install Melbet from an APK on the official site, so allow the install when prompted. There is an iOS app too, and the mobile site does the full job in any browser. Unusually for an operator this size, you can also bet through Telegram.
Everything on the platform is in the app: the 8,000+ daily events, Bet Builder, cash out, live streams, deposits and withdrawals. Match stats sit right beside the markets for quick in-play decisions, push notifications keep you updated, and the same login works on the app, the site and Telegram.
Deposits, withdrawals and support
50+ ways to deposit, payouts within a day
Few cashiers we have tested go deeper. Melbet offers over 50 methods, tailored to each country: Visa and Mastercard, e-wallets like Skrill, mobile money and local wallets in African and Asian markets, and 40+ cryptocurrencies for everyone. Deposits land instantly from about $1. Once KYC is complete, e-wallet, mobile money and crypto withdrawals arrive within 24 hours, crypto frequently in under an hour, while cards and bank transfers need a few business days. A few e-wallets set higher minimums of their own, and with 50+ options there is always a method that fits your stake.
Licence and account safety
A Curaçao licence, plus local sites in Africa
Pelican Entertainment B.V. operates Melbet internationally under Curaçao Gaming Authority licence OGL/2024/561/0554, and the brand has its own locally licensed sites in Nigeria, Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. Inside your account you can cap deposits by day, week or month, take a cooling-off break or self-exclude. Expect KYC checks before your first withdrawal and age checks (18+) at every stage.
