App and mobile access
The details recorded in September 2026 say MelBet is available as an APK file for Android and as an option for iOS. The earlier owner also wrote of special offers for app users, which we do not describe. An APK file is installed outside an official app store, so it does not pass the checks that store apps go through. Whatever you install, confirm the source is the operator's own site, and never enter a card number in an app you cannot trace back to the company.
Company and licence
The owner is recorded as Pelican Entertainment B.V. and the licence as a Curaçao one, number OGL/2024/561/0554, shown as active. Neither detail has been verified with the company or the regulator.
Games in the MelBet casino review
The casino side is smaller than the sportsbook, and the previous owner said so directly. Its lobby is recorded with a live casino, bingo and lottery games, slots, and four table staples: baccarat, poker, roulette and blackjack. Listed studios include Mancala, TaDa Gaming, BF Games, Nextspin, Barbara Bang, Platipus and 100HP Gaming. If you want background on the games before looking at any site, see blackjack and bingo.
Payments in detail
MelBet has one of the longer method lists in the record: Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller, ecoPayz, WebMoney, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Tether, Dogecoin, Tron and others, with Binance Pay and Bybit Pay for crypto wallets. Local options were named for two countries: Vodafone Cash, InstaPay and Telda for Egypt, and Flouci, D17 and e-Dinar for Tunisia. Account currencies are recorded as USD, EUR, ten cryptocurrencies and about twenty Arab currencies, from EGP and AED to DJF and KMF.
A local payment method does not change the legal position of the player. Banks in several Arab states block or reverse gambling transactions, and an account can be closed after a refused payment.
- Minimum deposit: 1 EUR.
- Minimum withdrawal: 1 EUR; maximum: 5,000 EUR per month.
- Withdrawal time: 12 hours up to 7 business days.
- Identity verification is listed as available, so expect to be asked for documents.
Three cautions
Three drawbacks stand out in the earlier text. The brand leans more toward sports betting than casino play. Deposits made in cryptocurrency were not eligible for bonuses. And wagering requirements were described as uneven from one offer to the next, which is why it pays to compare terms offer by offer; the page on reload bonuses describes the usual conditions.
Staying in control
MelBet lists round-the-clock live chat, and players can cap deposits, cap session time or shut the account through self-exclusion. Since betting and casino play draw on one balance here, a limit should cover the whole account, not one side of it. Play is for adults, and it can become harmful; our responsible gambling guide lists the warning signs. One more point no review can soften: residents of most Arab states are barred by law from gambling online, local wallets or not.
Published opinion
What players say
Melbet draws very different reactions depending on where players write. On two public player-review sites its scores are high: 9.3 out of 10 from 507 reviews on one, and an Excellent overall verdict from 64 users on the other. Satisfied players mention a clear interface, fast deposits and withdrawals, wide football and live betting markets and cryptocurrency support, and the operator replies to many of those reviews. App Store listings for Egypt, Congo and Senegal are lower, at 2.8, 3.6 and 3.8 out of 5 from 190, 247 and 754 users. The few written comments there describe an app that hangs, withdrawals left pending and deposits that fail, next to short notes of approval, one of them in Egyptian Arabic. A minority of reviewers also describe verification delays and difficulties with agent-based payments. Each store listing is published under a different developer name for its country, and the written samples are small. Compiled from public app-store listings and player-review pages, November 2026.
What comparison sites say
Comparison sites describe Melbet as a long-running brand, active since 2012, and agree on the breadth of its game library, with live dealer tables and many providers, on its many payment methods and support channels. One page praises its esports coverage and quick payouts. Another is written for readers in Kuwait and reminds them that whether they may play legally depends on where they live. The criticisms are few promotions for existing players, some live casino tables limited to international currencies, a lobby that can overwhelm a newcomer, and, on one page, support that rests mainly on email and phone. The pages also contradict each other about a mobile app: one lists apps for both systems, another says there is none. Scores are generally high, and higher than the app-store scores. Many comparison sites are paid by the operators they feature. Taken from published comparison reviews, November 2026.
