Melbet was founded in 2012 and shares much of its platform, market feed and promotional structure with 1xBet. It is a popular choice in Africa and the CIS, with a Curaçao licence and a long list of local payment methods. If you have used 1xBet, you will recognise almost everything here.
The reason it ranks sixth rather than second is that it is slightly worse than 1xBet on almost every axis: a few fewer markets, slightly wider margins, a less polished app and slower verification. It remains a good bookmaker, and its cashout and bet builder tools are among the better implementations we have used.
New account on 6 October. Deposits of $36 via instant banking and 30 USDT. 40 bets across Premier League, T20 leagues, ATP and kabaddi over eight days. Three withdrawals timed. Support tested twice.
The sports welcome bonus is a 100% welcome bonus with code BETQUARRY; minimum deposits vary. Wagering is 5× the bonus in accumulators of three or more legs at 1.40+ odds within 30 days, identical to 1xBet’s structure.
Melbet rotates its promotions frequently: acca boosts, cashback on losing accumulators, sport-specific free bets and a loyalty cashback program. The terms for each are buried a couple of clicks deep, so read them before relying on an offer.
We measured 4.3% on top-league football 1X2, 4.4% on T20 league match winner and 4.9% on ATP. That is within a point of 1xBet and better than 1win, Parimatch and BC.Game. Price is a strength here. Live acceptance ran 5–8 seconds with four rejections in 20 attempts, a little high.
Forty-plus sports. A Premier League match had around 800 markets, fewer than 1xBet’s 1,140 but far more than most competitors. Cricket depth is good (120+ on T20 leagues) with session and player markets. The bet builder works on most football and lets you combine player props with match markets. Esports and table tennis are extensively covered.
The live section mirrors 1xBet’s, with a tracker and quick bet slip. Streaming is available on a selection of events once your account is funded. Cashout, including partial, is reliable and available on more markets than most rivals.
Instant banking, e-wallets, bank transfer, AstroPay, Skrill and crypto are all supported. Minimums are very low and vary by method.
| Withdrawal | Method | Time |
|---|---|---|
| #1 | USDT TRC-20 | 3 h 15 m |
| #2 | Instant banking | 8 h 40 m |
| #3 | Instant banking (weekend) | 14 h |
No fees. KYC was requested at the first withdrawal and took 30 hours during a Premier League weekend, slower than every site except 1xBet.
The website is a lighter copy of 1xBet’s layout and somewhat easier to navigate. The Android APK works but feels dated: slower animations, an older bet slip design and occasional lag when switching between live events. The iOS app is similar.
Live chat is 24/7; responses took two to four minutes and were scripted. Email support replied in about 12 hours. Curaçao licence.
They are separate brands that share a platform and market feed. Melbet lists slightly fewer markets and has its own promotions.

Three hours for crypto and 8–14 hours for UPI in our test.
