Melbet Review

Gaming firm Gametosha recently introduced their online betting platform, Melbet, in the Kenyan market, with over 400,000 subscribers currently using their site. The bookmaker is fully registered to provide sportsbooks markets on its Kenyan platform and being an international brand can also be accessed in many countries and not only Kenya. The platform claims to offer over 1,000 + sportsbook markets on a daily basis and we can enjoy a wide market variety as well as unlimited bet types.

Melbet in depth

Little is still known about Melbet but you are assured that the bookmaker is a legit brand and is financially stable, meaning they have met all requirements to provide a fair winning environment for registered punters.

The bookmaker website is operated by the Gametosha Limited which is registered as the owner and operate under the Kenya Lotteries and Gaming act. Their license number is BK0000196 and if there is any detection of malpractice they license is usually revoked, like we saw some years back.

The founding parent company originally launched their platform in early 2012 and was originally owned by Bonnal Limited, then later on bought by Tutika Limited. Therefore the original brand name has some years under its belt ranking Melbet as an established global brand. Alhough it’s relatively new in the Kenyan space, it’s definitely catching the eyes of local punters and this can be shown through the huge number of subscribers.

With different promos and easy registration also high odds market has encouraged Kenyan punters to join. However there is still no data on the number of winners gaming with Melbet or maybe the platform prefers to keep such information confidential.

User Experience

Once you long into the platform the first thing you may notice is that the navigation features on the website version is simple and easy to use. The mobile version also contains the same features you will find in the App version and is navigable for new visitors.

The top dashboard contains all the necessary links to different gaming options and promos. It’s much easier to access different sportsbook events by using the search button and their over 1,000 + markets we can choose from on a daily basis and also a variety of bet type markets.

The Melbet App can be downloaded from the website link and is more secure than downloading from other website because it’s unsafe due to personal details being easily accessed.
