Review of the official website and app

The Melbet website stands out with its convenient and user-friendly interface. At the top part, near the logo, there are icons for key functions that users may need – payments, mobile app download, personal account, messages, account replenishment/withdrawal, settings, and customer support feedback.

Below, a strip with the following sections is located:

• Sports: This section includes sports events for pre-match bets, grouped by disciplines such as football, tennis, basketball, hockey, cricket, American football, etc. You can choose a specific championship, like the NBA, or take advantage of the match search feature. Each event has diverse betting market options – handicaps, totals, handicaps, team wins within a certain period, draws, number of goals scored, etc.

• Fast Games: Entertainment in this section is categorized by game mechanics with fast rounds and simple rules.

In the footer, information about the Melbet betting company’s license, links to the company’s Twitter and Telegram pages, customer support phone number, and a button to switch to the mobile version of the site are placed.

The mobile version of Melbet has a somewhat simplified interface. The main elements are located at the bottom of the page, including sports, casino, bet slip, account replenishment, and the menu. In the last section, you can find such categories:

• Results;
• Games;
• Casino;
• Account replenishment/withdrawal;
• Bet history;
• Personal data;
• Security;

The software’s main menu consists of “Pre-match” and “Live,” slots, quick games, and esports. The procedures of gaming account replenishment, withdrawing funds, placing bets, and registration are identical to the ones in the aforementioned versions.

The legality of work in the country

The main document ensuring the legality of the bookmaker’s work is license No. 8048/JAZ2020-060, issued by the Gaming Commission under the government of Curaçao. The owner of the website melbet.com is the British company Pelican Entertainment B.V.

Types of bets that can be placed

Melbet offers its users various betting options. When it comes to sports (both team and individual sports), the most common bet type is the bet on the main outcome, which is either one of the teams’ victory or a draw. It is also possible to bet on a team’s victory with a handicap taken into account.

Place a bet

Another popular bet type is totals. A player has to predict the total number of goals/points, corners, or cards in a match. For those who enjoy taking risks, there is an option for exact score betting, where one needs to predict the precise result of the match.

In tennis, bets are commonly placed on the total number of games in a match. The overall number of  games played or individual player’s score have to be predicted. To place such a bet, a bettor needs to know the players and their playing styles quite well.  Such types of bets are very profitable. Another option for tennis enthusiasts is betting on sets. This type of bet allows you to consider how strong and well-prepared the players are, as well as how able they are to handle pressure during the match.

In basketball, the most common and the simplest bet is on the team’s victory. A bettor has to predict which team will win the match. Another option is totals. In this type of bet, you have to predict the total points scored by both teams or by one of them.

You can also make a forecast on the point difference between teams. This bet type is called a handicap. Bets can be placed on a team with a positive handicap (the team may lose, but with a point difference less than specified) or on a team with a negative handicap (the team must win by the specified point difference).

Line, Live, and Odds at Melbet Bookmaker

In the “Sports” section, you can place bets on over 30 disciplines. Among them are familiar sports like football, volleyball, and cricket, as well as more exotic ones like floorball or snooker. The bookmaker can boast a deep lineup, offering more than 1500 different outcomes for major sporting events.

Another important factor that bettors are taking into consideration, is competitive odds. For example, in a football match of the English Championship between Everton and Manchester City, the odds for the victory of the first team are 5.5, while the odds for the victory of the second team are 1.57. The odds for a draw are 4.2. The margin in this case is 5.6%.

Almost all events from the pre-match section transition to the Live section when they start. Events can be filtered by sports disciplines and by the nearest start time (within a range of 2 to 4 hours). To keep track of events, you can mark them with a star in the menu on the left. This adds the interesting event to the “Favorites” list.

How to place a bet on Melbet in Pakistan

To place bets on Melbet through the website or mobile application in Pakistan, follow these steps:

1. Register via the most convenient method of your choice (one-click, phone, or email registration).
2. Provide personal details (name, country, identity verification document) and fill in your profile.
3. Make a deposit into your account.
4. Choose a match from either the “Sports” or “Live” section.
5. Click the odds button according to the outcome that you predict.

The most popular types of bets

The first on the list of the most popular bets is a Single Bet. It is actually the simplest one: you need to bet on the outcome of a single event.

The second popular type of bet is an Accumulator. In this case, you bet on several different events. For the bet to win, all predictions must be correctly guessed. However, in the case of a win, the payout will be significantly higher than in a single bet because all the odds of the Accumulator are multiplied together.

A type of bet somewhat similar to the Accumulator is a System bet. It combines the advantages of a single and combined bet. Unlike the previous bet type, even if the bettor does not guess one or two outcomes, depending on the System class (2/3, 2/4, 3/4, and so on), the bet still might be a success.

Melbet Bookmaker’s Casino

The Melbet casino is comprised of the following sections:

• Slots: Games with multiple reels where winning requires getting several identical symbols, such as 777. Such slots as All Ways Hot Fruits, Buccaneer Royale, Lucky Clover Lady, Treasure Bowl, Very Hot 5, and Buffalo Goes Wild are one of the most popular.
