Melbet Review 2026

Melbet is one of the larger international betting brands available to Indian players, combining sports betting, live casino games, slots, and local payment options from a single site. The casino supports UPI and other popular Indian payment methods, offers thousands of games, and provides dedicated cricket betting markets. While the site is not the most modern-looking casino we've tested, but it delivers a solid overall experience for Indian players looking for both sports and casino action.

Melbet have three different registration options: By mobile number, by email or with one click. Obviously, I went for the one click option. Why waste time on registration when you can do it quick?

After the one click registration required to sign-up, you get the registration details shown and can either get them sent to your email, you can download them as an image or simply write down the password and username.

It was actually very smooth to get started and I just headed over to the deposit section without any personal details or even email filled out.

Melbet offers more than 4000 casino games and around 250 live dealer tables from many of the industry's leading providers. During testing, we found a good selection of slots, roulette, blackjack, baccarat, Andar Bahar, Teen Patti, and other games popular with Indian players.

The live casino section is particularly strong, with plenty of tables available around the clock. Sports bettors will also appreciate the extensive cricket coverage, which remains one of Melbet's strongest selling points. Check out the official site today!

Melbet operates a multi-level VIP and loyalty system where players earn points through real-money betting activity. Higher levels unlock larger cashback rewards, betting bonuses, accumulator insurance, boosted odds, and occasional VIP promotions. While the system can provide decent value for regular sportsbook and casino players, MelBet is less transparent about exact VIP requirements than some crypto-focused competitors.

Rather than a typical cashback program, Melbet's VIP program is a mix of cashback, loyalty points, betting rewards and occasional personal VIP perks. Every time you bet, loyalty programs are earned. Those points help increase your VIP level and unlock additional rewards.

There are eight different levels and you start with 5% cashback and when reaching mid-levels you get between 7-9%, followed by the highest levels giving 11-15% cashback.

There are a huge amount of deposit methods and you have to use the same method for cashout as the one you used to deposit.

Ok, my impression was quite mixed and without a doubt it was among the slowest deposits and the quickest cashouts I've tried the last year. Even more surprising perhaps is that the deposit was done during daytime with Litecoin, that usually goes quick. But it took over 1 hour to finalize and arrive, despite being confirmed in the sending wallet within 3 minutes. However, when it comes to cashout in the middle of the night (03:50 AM), it was approved within 1 minute and sent to my wallet instantly. I had the cash within 2 minutes. It's rare that it goes that quick. Below 5 minutes is what we classify as instant withdrawal and the surely made it.

For UPI deposits, we assume that it will go quicker. However, to cash out I didn't have to do any KYC verification thanks to using crypto and small amounts, but it is probably different for fiat transfers with larger amounts.

What really surprised me after a slow deposit was the super quick withdrawal just before 4 am. How can a brand be over 1 hour quicker with a withdrawal in the middle of the night compared to a daytime deposit? It's beyond me. Well, the deposit could be found but it was not credited to the balance and that part was quite annoying.

Anyway, when it comes to cashout I simply wagered slightly above one time the deposit amount and went for a withdrawal with Litecoin, the same method I used for deposit. One time, I checked the cashout option after just playing a few rounds (less than 1x wagered) and then it was simply not possible to withdraw. While I was allowed to sign-up with "one click", without any email, I thought that verification would surely be required for cashout. But it was not the case, at least not for me as a crypto player. Overall, a very smooth and positive process with the withdrawal.

Melbet offers a surprisingly strong mobile experience, especially for players who switch frequently between sports betting, live betting, casino games, and live casino tables. During testing, the platform loaded quickly in mobile browsers and navigation felt smoother than many older sportsbook-focused sites.

Android users can download a dedicated APK app, while iOS users can either use the browser version or install a Progressive Web App (PWA) depending on region and device.

One thing we liked is that most major sections remain easily accessible from mobile, including deposits, withdrawals, live betting, casino games, account settings, and promotions.

The live betting section also performs well on smaller screens, making it easy to switch between matches and markets without excessive loading times. During our testing, both casino games and live casino tables loaded quickly even when switching between different providers.

Android support starts from Android 5.0 and above, while iOS support is available through both the App Store and browser-based installation methods depending on the market. Players who prefer not installing apps can still access nearly the full platform through the mobile website without noticing major differences in functionality.

Melbet have three ways to contact them. Either by live chat (which I tested), email or callback where you insert your Indian mobile number and they call you back within short. They get a plus from having so many different versions to reach out.

Our team that handle deposits tested lots of different quality casinos, and very few take above 30 minutes for a crypto deposit. However, since it took over 1 hour for our Litecoin deposit that was confirmed on the blockchain after a few minutes required me to speak to the live support. It's powered by a live chat agent that was instant with the replies. However, the process was repetetive and I tried three with the same questions and same replies, except for the last time. It started with them asking me to click a "check my deposit button". After doing that, they at least confirmed that the "funds are on the way". I could then even see the exact amount and they confirmed it would arrive within an hour. The final time they asked me to do visit the "payment queries section". Here, you have to select the deposit method, the exact transaction hash, the exact amount, and the deposit address and payment date and time. But they didn't recognized the deposit address. However, in the same second that I tried to dig deeper into the deposit issues, the funds arrived. Finally!

I guess most will not use crypto for deposits and hopefully UPI, PayTM, IMPS and PhonePe are way quicker options.

Melbet is one of the larger international betting brands and has been operating since around 2012, giving it a significantly longer track record than many newer offshore casinos and sportsbooks.

They have a license from Curacao, issued to Pelican Entertainment B.V. (#OGL/2024/561/0554) and been around since 2015. Melbet created a good reputation during the 11 years they been around. We have verified so the license is active and valid.

While Curacao is generally not viewed as strict as regulators such as the Malta Gaming Authority or the UK Gambling Commission, Melbet now operates under Curaçao's newer licensing framework introduced after the 2024 reforms. This is generally considered a stronger regulatory structure than the older sublicense model many offshore operators previously relied on.

Melbet hold an active Curacao Gaming Authority licence through Pelican Entertainment B.V. with licence number OGL/2024/561/0554, granted on 15 November 2024. The licenses from Curacao has improved significantly since the reforms in 2024, but dispute resolution and player protection are generally still viewed as weaker compared to Malta (MGA) or The UK (UKGC).

The site uses SSL encryption to help protect player data, account information, and financial transactions. During testing, all pages loaded through secure HTTPS connections, which is now considered a basic but important security standard for online casinos.

The casino also provides several responsible gaming tools, including self-exclusion options, deposit limits, and account restrictions for players who wish to control their gambling activity. While these tools are available, they are not as prominently displayed as at some highly regulated European operators.

In terms of fairness, MelBet works with well-known game providers whose titles are regularly tested and certified by independent auditing companies. This does not guarantee winnings, but it helps ensure that game outcomes are generated fairly and according to the published RTP values. Combined with its long operating history and large international player base, these measures provide a reasonable level of trust for most players.

Indian players should still remember that online gambling regulations vary between states, so it is always worth checking local rules before registering or depositing.

BC Game got some similarities with Melbet. Both offer several Indian languages, even if BC Game got more. Melbet is more flexible with Indian transfer methods than BC Game, which give them an edge.
