Editor’s verdict
MelBet is a competitive international sportsbook with strong live betting, extensive markets and many payment options, but its Curaçao licensing and mixed withdrawal/verification feedback are worth considering.
MelBet is one of the broader international betting brands we cover. It combines a large sportsbook with casino and live casino products, giving users access to sports betting, slots, table games and live dealer games through the same account. The sportsbook is the main attraction, with pre-match and live betting across a wide range of sports, while the casino adds a substantial selection of slots and table games. The combination makes MelBet more of an all-round betting and gaming platform than a casino-led operator.
Casino and sportsbook
The sportsbook covers major international sports as well as a large number of additional markets, with both pre-match and live betting available. Depending on the market, users can access features such as live statistics, cash-out and different bet types.
The casino side includes slots, table games and live casino. MelBet's casino offering also uses games from multiple providers, while the live section includes dedicated live-dealer and televised gaming products. For sports bettors, the combination of a broad market selection and live betting is the main reason to use MelBet rather than a casino-first brand.
Payments
MelBet has a large payment infrastructure, but the exact methods depend heavily on the player's country. The current payment section supports categories including bank cards, e-wallets, payment systems and cryptocurrency. MelBet specifically states that users can see the payment methods available to their account from the cashier.
Depending on the GEO, available methods can include Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller, bank transfer, local payment systems and cryptocurrency. For this reason, payment lists should be treated as country-specific rather than universal. Withdrawal limits, processing times, fees and verification requirements can also differ between payment methods.
Offers and account rules
MelBet runs sportsbook and casino promotions, but the exact welcome offer and promotional conditions depend on the country and the current campaign. Bonus terms can include minimum deposits, qualifying bets, wagering requirements, maximum winnings and expiry periods, so users should read the live terms before claiming an offer.
Licensing: Curaçao operator
MelBet.com is currently operated by Pelican Entertainment B.V., a company incorporated in Curaçao under company number 134359. Its current terms identify a Curaçao Gaming Control Board licence OGL/2024/561/0554, granted on 15 November 2024. The terms also state that Edric Ltd and Faren Ltd act as payment agents on behalf of Pelican Entertainment B.V.
The Curaçao regulatory framework changed on 24 December 2024 when the new National Ordinance on Games of Chance came into force. The Curaçao Gaming Authority states that existing licences under the previous framework were to be converted into provisional licences under the new framework.
Responsible gambling and account checks
MelBet publishes responsible-gambling guidance covering spending and time limits, avoiding chasing losses and only gambling with money that can be afforded to lose.
The operator's licensing terms and account procedures also mean that users can be subject to verification and security checks. This is particularly relevant when making withdrawals or when account activity requires additional review. Players should therefore keep their registration details and payment information consistent and be prepared to complete KYC when requested.
How MelBet scores with us
MelBet's Trust Score should be calculated separately using our Trust Index methodology rather than copying a third-party rating. The main areas to assess are licensing, payment reliability, withdrawal speed, complaint response, transparency, security, responsible gambling, support, bonus fairness and KYC ease. Its current Curaçao licence provides the licensing basis for the score, while the broad payment coverage and sportsbook/casino offering contribute to the product and payment sections. Withdrawal experience and verification should be assessed separately because these can vary by country and payment method.
Who it suits
MelBet suits international players who want sports betting and casino products under one account, particularly users interested in a broad sportsbook with live betting alongside slots and live casino. The brand's international payment coverage is another useful feature, although users should check the cashier for their specific country rather than assuming every listed method is available. Players should also read the current bonus, withdrawal and verification terms before depositing.
How to check the licence yourself
Start with MelBet's current terms and confirm that MelBet.com is operated by Pelican Entertainment B.V., company number 134359, with Curaçao Gaming Control Board licence OGL/2024/561/0554.
You can then compare the information with the Curaçao Gaming Authority's current licensing framework and public regulatory information. The Curaçao Gaming Authority explains that online operators must hold an online gaming licence under the new framework.
