Melbet Review: 1xBet's sister brand with sharp sportsbook odds, a full crash lobby, and lower platform noise.

Verdict

Melbet launched in 2012, making it the second-oldest room in this comparison after 1xBet, and that genealogy is not a coincidence - Melbet operates under the same group as 1xBet, using a similar lobby structure and the same Curaçao licensing framework. Where it differentiates is in brand positioning: Melbet runs a slightly leaner interface, sharpens its sportsbook odds aggressively, and is sometimes perceived as the "quieter" version of the 1xBet experience. Score: 8.3 out of 10. This room is for players who want 1xBet's game depth and sportsbook integration in a slightly less cluttered environment, with the same crypto cashier and crash catalog.

The Originals story

Melbet's crash and Originals-adjacent suite mirrors 1xBet's: third-party providers anchor the offering rather than proprietary in-house games. Aviator (Spribe, 97%), Spaceman (Pragmatic Play, 96.5%), and equivalent crash titles are all present. Crash runs at 97% RTP, Plinko at 97-99%, Dice at 98%, Mines at 97%, and Limbo at 98%. The RTPs sit in the same 96-98% range as 1xBet, consistent with the shared operator infrastructure.

Melbet's Chicken category is represented through third-party titles including Chicken Road (InOut Games) - one of the higher-engagement formats in the crash-adjacent segment. Roulette and Keno are also present via the 1,000+ game casino library, covering seven of the nine tracked game types on this site. The absent categories are the Coin and Dice Originals that the tier-1 rooms developed in-house.

What works

• Sharp sportsbook odds - Melbet is known within the betting community for competitive odds margins, particularly on football and esports. Players who combine sports betting with crypto casino play will find the sportsbook side stands on its own merits.
• Full crash catalog - Aviator, Spaceman, Aviatrix, JetX, and Crash X are all present in the Melbet lobby. The breadth of crash titles mirrors 1xBet and gives comparative players options across provider and RTP.
• Crypto cashier with BTC, ETH, USDT - The core trio of crypto deposits and withdrawals is fully supported. Players do not need to convert to fiat to operate the account.
• 1,000+ casino games - The full library depth covers slots, live dealer tables, and crash titles at a scale that casual players will not exhaust.
• Established operator group - Twelve years of operation under the same group as 1xBet provides a meaningful track record for dispute resolution and account stability.

What does not

• No proprietary in-house Originals - Like 1xBet, every game is a third-party product. The provably fair guarantee sits with Spribe or BGaming, not with Melbet itself. Players who want a house-built provably fair suite need the tier-1 rooms.
• RTP runs 96-98% across the board - The mid-tier RTP picture is the same gap as 1xBet. Crash at 97% is competitive but not industry-leading.
• Sister-brand dynamic limits differentiation - If you have already used 1xBet, Melbet will feel very familiar. The two brands share too much DNA to justify running accounts at both. Pick one.
• US and UK blocked - Standard restriction for the group. Access is available from most other markets.
• Dense interface inherited from the parent brand - The lobby carries the same navigational complexity as 1xBet. Finding specific Originals-style games in a large catalog takes deliberate searching.

Where to play

Visit melbet.com/en/?tag=MAXBET and use promo code MAXBET at registration. The welcome offer follows the standard structure for the group - typically a first-deposit match with attached wagering requirements. Check the promotions page for the current bonus cap and terms. US and UK players are blocked.

Bottom line

Melbet at 8.3 is for players who want the 1xBet game catalog and sportsbook with a marginally cleaner brand experience, or who are starting fresh without prior accounts at either room. The honest pitch: if you already have a functioning 1xBet account, Melbet adds nothing you do not have. If you are choosing between the two for a first signup, the decision comes down to which welcome offer is running at the time and which interface you find less cluttered. The underlying RTPs and game libraries are, for practical purposes, the same.
