Our verdict

Melbet is a sportsbook launched in 2012 and run by Pelican Entertainment Ltd. under a Curacao licence from the pre-2024 regime. It has iOS and Android apps and a site in 34 languages. It lists live streaming and a bet builder, accepts both local payment systems and crypto, and states no cap on withdrawals.

Melbet scores 7 from us, solid with caveats. Payments are its strongest area, at 9 out of 10, with a long mix of e-wallets, local methods such as Pix and coins. Cash out is missing and the Curacao licence is a lighter form of regulation. Responsible gambling tools and support details are not documented, which holds back the overall picture.

What we like

Melbet's licence and operating company

Pelican Entertainment Ltd. is the operator, and the brand dates from 2012, which makes it one of the longer-running names in this group. Its authorization is a Curacao master licence or sub-licence under the pre-2024 regime. That earns a licence group score of 4 out of 10, while safety scores 10. See the methodology.

No restricted countries are listed in the terms we reviewed.

Sports and markets

The list includes football, tennis, basketball, ice hockey, cricket, baseball, boxing, MMA, golf, Formula 1, horse racing, table tennis, volleyball and American football. That is 14 sports and a markets score of 8.5 out of 10. Esports are not listed.

Live betting, streaming and cash out

Melbet offers live betting, streaming and a bet builder. It does not list cash out, so a placed bet cannot be settled early. Which events are streamed is not stated.

Odds and margin

Margins have not been sampled for Melbet yet. The odds group has no score, and we do not claim its prices are better or worse than others.

Deposits and withdrawals

Deposits include bank transfer, Neteller, Skrill, WebMoney, Payz, Jeton, AstroPay Direct, Interac, Pay4Fun, Pix, SticPay and coins such as Bitcoin, Dogecoin and USDT. Withdrawals mirror most of this, using AstroPay Card instead of AstroPay Direct. See Neteller for wallet details.
