Melbet review

Overview

Melbet has operated since 2012 and is run by Pelican Entertainment B.V. under a Curaçao Gaming Control Board licence. It is best known as a sportsbook, with partnerships in football, but the casino side is just as large. Canadians can use Interac and MuchBetter among other methods; full details are in the payments table above. Melbet's Ontario status is not stated by our sources, and as an offshore operator it is not an iGaming Ontario-registered site, so Ontario residents should play at a regulated casino (see our Ontario guide).

Games and software

Casino.org counts about 5,500 games from a large roster of studios, including NetEnt, Mancala Gaming and 7Mojos. The live casino is a highlight, with more than 200 live dealer games from 26 providers, including Evolution and Ezugi. Casino.org lists wide table limits, from C$1 to C$10,000 on blackjack and up to C$12,000 on roulette and baccarat, which appeals to high-stakes players. Jackpot slots are available, though no specific networks are named.

The sportsbook covers a broad range of sports and live betting, accessible from the same wallet.

Bonuses and promotions

The casino welcome package is advertised as up to C$2,625 plus 300 free spins over the first deposits at the time of writing. Casino.org reports these terms:

• Wagering: 25x on the deposit match, 20x on free spins
• Minimum qualifying deposit: C$15
• Free spin validity: 24 hours after activation
• Offer amounts differ between pages, so confirm the current package in the cashier

Regular players can join Members Only Fridays (50% up to C$150 plus 100 free spins), Crash Royale tournaments and large network events such as Spinoleague and Kash Drops. VIP cashback runs across eight tiers from 5% to 11%. Our bonus and payment method guide covers common restrictions.

Mobile experience

Melbet offers dedicated apps for Android and iOS. Android users may need to install an APK from the site in some regions. Casino.org cites a 4.2 rating on Google Play.

Customer support

Live chat runs 24/7, and players can also use email (support@melbet.com) or a UK phone line that may carry higher call charges. Casino Guru lists French among its 24/7 languages, while Casino.org's review mentions only English and Spanish, so French support may vary by channel.

Safety, licence and reputation

Casino Guru rates the Safety Index as above average (7.4/10) and user feedback as good, but it records 14 complaints. Recurring issues include slow withdrawals, repeated requests for verification documents and accounts blocked after wins. Responsible gambling tools include deposit limits, time reminders, transaction history and self-exclusion; see our responsible gambling page for more support.

Payment methods at Melbet

These are the payment methods Melbet lists that we cover on this site. Availability can depend on your province and account, and some methods (vouchers, Apple Pay, Google Pay) are often deposit-only, so check the withdrawal options in the cashier.

Other options listed: Pix, AstroPay, ecoPayz, Perfect Money, bank transfer.

Melbet deposit and withdrawal limits

Limits often differ by payment method and VIP level, and casinos can change them without notice. Your bank sets its own caps as well: Interac e-Transfer, for example, typically has daily and weekly sending limits. Large withdrawals may be split into instalments and usually require completed KYC verification.

How to deposit at Melbet

1. Register and confirm your email or phone number.
2. Open the cashier and choose Interac (it may appear as Interac e-Transfer).
3. Enter an amount in CAD at or above the minimum (C$10 (C$15 for welcome bonus)).
4. Approve the payment in your banking app or follow the e-Transfer instructions on screen.
5. Return to the casino: the balance usually updates within minutes.

See our Interac casino guide for limits, fees and common reasons a transfer is declined.

Withdrawals

Reported withdrawal times: Cards/Interac/MuchBetter: 1–3 business days; bank: 3–5 days. Expect identity checks (KYC) before the first payout, and note that casinos usually pay back to the method you deposited with where possible. Read how to withdraw and KYC verification before you request a cash-out.

Melbet pros and cons

Our verdict

Melbet is a strong fit for Canadians who want sports betting and a very large casino in one app, and its welcome wagering is lower than many offshore rivals. The live casino and high table limits will appeal to experienced players. However, complaints about delayed payouts and repeated document checks mean you should verify your account early and avoid leaving large balances. Casual low-stakes players may be put off by the C$50 withdrawal minimum.

Is Melbet legal in Canada?

Ontario residents can legally play only at operators registered with iGaming Ontario. Melbet is licensed in Curaçao; outside Ontario, many Canadians use offshore-licensed casinos, while provincial lottery sites run the regulated options. Check the casino's terms for your province.
