Melbet Review

MELbet is owned by Dranap LTD, which is a registered company in Nicosia, Cyprus. It operates under a Curacao eGaming licence. This is a popular governing body for newer brands as the licencing costs are cheaper than those offered by the MGA and UKGC.

While sports betting is the main driver at MELbet, the platform also offers a stunning collection of fast (instant win) games, slots, live dealer tables, live slots, TV games, and bingo. From our first impression, this is an action-packed site, so let’s get stuck into our full MELbet review 2020 to learn more. 

Racing fans can bet on all meetings from the UK, Australia, the USA, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, France, Turkey, and Singapore, among other countries. However, in terms of race information and form guides, there is very little. This is something that could certainly be improved. 

If you like betting on football, MELbet offers matches from all over the world. You can bet on all of the major leagues and cup competitions from Europe as well as multiple leagues from many other countries, including Argentina, Cyprus, Denmark, Israel, Kenya, and many others. It really is an impressive line-up, and it certainly outperforms most other sportsbooks in this area. 

Basketball is one of the biggest markets at Melbet. The NBA, EuroLeague, BBL (Germany), A1 (Greece), NBL (Australia), and the LNB (France) are just a few of the basketball competitions available at MELbet. In fact, there are more than 50 leagues with action from the Dominican Republic, Rwanda, Kazakhstan also included. 

Other sports with hundreds of fixtures and events listed are ice hockey, volleyball, baseball, rugby, handball, trotting, and UFC betting. Having established that MELbet packs a punch with its wall-to-wall market coverage, it’s time to find out if it lives up to its promise of providing good betting value. As usual, we compared MELbet with two other well-known bookmakers across five random events.

Users can access in-play markets for plenty of major sports, including Football, tennis, basketball, netball, cricket, rugby, and volleyball. For certain, there is more than enough to choose from, but market depth is variable. For instance, live NBA matches boast around 250 betting options while collegiate games only have between 10 and 30 markets. This drop-off for less popular games is quite normal among all online bookmakers, so it’s not a negative on MELbet.

MELbet also offers thousands of live events customers can watch on the platform. These range from horse racing and greyhounds to basketball, cricket, tennis and football. Although it’s comprehensive, the live stream action is not always from the top leagues. For example, we noted live football from Australia’s NSW Premier League, basketball from Thailand, and ice hockey from Canada’s ACAC League.

Although it's still easily usable, this brand's betting platform could benefit with a few upgrades. It looks and feels like software that was being used ten years ago. All-in-all it’s rather cluttered. However, with that said, after you’ve spent a few minutes looking around, you soon get a feeling for it. Ultimately, the layout is a personal preference, so some punters will like it, and others won’t.

In terms of navigation, the head menu contains all of the main categories, plus it’s home to the MELbet login and language selection links. The sports menu can be accessed left of the page (desktop view). When you click on a specific sport, the menu expands to reveal the events, leagues, and competitions that are listed for betting. 

The central column displays the top upcoming matches and markets, with a selection of markets such as the match result, handicap and over/under. Lastly, to the right side, you have the bet slip and a selection of ‘accumulators of the day’ which you can bet on in only two clicks.

Melbet users can download a mobile app to place their bets on the go. In addition to the web app which is available across all devices, you can download a standalone MELbet mobile app if you use an iOS or Android tablet or mobile phone. The MELbet app comes loaded with the same great range of sports and betting markets. It also offers live betting and video streaming as well as a stack of fast games, casino slots and live dealer tables.

MELbet betting apps are also available for PCs and Macs. Plus, you can download the MELbet Access App (for Windows) which provides a mirror of the website using a different URL. This lets you use MELbet if the site is blocked or won’t open for any reason.

Users can choose from a healthy range of payment options with this brand, from credit cards to cryptocurrencies. Here are some of the most popular methods; however, the exact choice may vary depending on your country of residence.

No service charges apply and all withdrawals are processed immediately, which is outstanding.

MeLbet customer service is on-hand to assist users. This is how you can get in touch if ever you have a query.
