Bet on Cricket at Melbet

The Melbet app brings the full cricket betting experience to your phone. Android users install an APK file, and iPhone users add a web app from Safari.

Downloading on Android

The Android app is not on Google Play; the APK file (about 43 MB) comes from the official Melbet site. Go to the app download page, tap the Android button, and save the APK to your phone. Allow installs from unknown sources in the phone settings, then run the file and follow the prompts.

Installing on iPhone and iPad

Melbet is not listed in the Indian App Store; the App Store version is offered only to Apple IDs with the region set to Vietnam or Mongolia. On an iPhone or iPad in India, open the Melbet site in Safari, tap Share, choose Add to Home Screen, and tap Add. The web app icon then sits on the home screen next to your other apps.

First Bet on the App

Once the app is set up, log in with your account details. Tap Sports from the bottom navigation bar and select Cricket. Browse the available tournaments and matches. Tap on a match to open the markets, choose your selection, enter your stake, and confirm. The bet slip is clean and easy to use on any screen size.

App Features Worth Knowing

The app supports both pre-match and live betting, and switching between the two takes a single tap. In live mode, odds update as the match progresses. You can follow score updates, track your active bets, and manage your account from the same screen. The cashier is also built into the app, so deposits and withdrawals never require opening a browser. The interface is designed for mobile-first use, with all key actions within reach of one thumb.

The sports welcome bonus is credited on the first deposit and reaches INR 40,000 at most. The offer is selected during registration, the profile has to be complete with an activated phone number, and the bonus must be used within 30 days of registration. The minimum qualifying deposit is INR 75.

The percentage depends on the size of the deposit:

• up to INR 10,000: 100% bonus, wagered 5 times;
• INR 10,001 to 20,000: 125% bonus (up to INR 25,000), wagered 7 times;
• INR 20,001 or more: 150% bonus (up to INR 40,000), wagered 10 times.

Wagering is done with accumulators of three or more selections, at least three of them at odds of 1.40 or higher. Bets on handicaps and totals are excluded. Cricket accumulators on the IPL, the T20 World Cup, and international Test matches can all be used to clear the bonus.

For example, an INR 1,000 deposit falls in the first tier and adds INR 1,000 in bonus funds, while an INR 25,000 deposit reaches the top tier and adds INR 37,500. The bonus balance can be cashed out only once the turnover is met.

Melbet lists cricket markets throughout the year, from franchise leagues to ICC events and bilateral series. Whether you follow international cricket or domestic leagues, there are markets across all major competitions.

Indian Premier League (IPL)

The IPL is the most followed T20 league in the world. Ten franchises play 14 league games each, and the top four teams go through to the playoffs. The season usually runs from late March to late May or early June, mostly at Indian venues. Live betting markets for IPL matches are extensive.

ICC T20 World Cup

Held every two years, the T20 World Cup brings together national teams from across the world. Matches are fast-paced, high-scoring, and unpredictable. This format produces strong betting interest, particularly in group stage matches where any result is possible. Pre-match and in-play markets are both available.

ICC Cricket World Cup (ODI)

The 50-over World Cup is held every four years. The tournament spans about six weeks, with a group stage followed by knockouts. Its longer format gives bettors more data and time to analyse team form before placing bets.

The Ashes

The Ashes is a Test series contested between England and Australia. It is one of cricket’s oldest rivalries and attracts strong betting interest globally. The five-match series runs across several weeks, offering match betting, series winner, and other Test markets.

Other Competitions

Beyond these tournaments, you can also bet on the Big Bash League, Caribbean Premier League, SA20, and bilateral international series involving the Indian national team. Domestic competitions from Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and other cricket nations appear in the line as well, and coverage grows during peak cricket seasons.

Cricket rewards preparation. The points below help you make more informed decisions before and during a match, although no approach removes the risk of losing.

Team Form and Format

Look at each team’s results across their last five to ten matches. Pay attention to which format those matches were played in. A team performing well in T20s may struggle in Test conditions. Check individual player statistics too. A top-order batter who has not scored in several games may be under pressure. Player fitness updates and team announcements released on match day can shift odds significantly.

Pitch and Weather Conditions

The pitch is one of the most important variables in cricket. A dry, dusty pitch in India favours spinners. A green surface in England or Australia tends to help fast bowlers. Rain affects outcomes in all formats and can decide one-day and T20 matches under DLS rules. Check the forecast for the match location before placing any bet. High humidity can make the ball swing early, changing the match dynamic within the first few overs.

Set a Budget Before You Bet

Set a fixed budget for each match or tournament and never stake money you cannot afford to lose. Avoid placing your entire balance on a single bet, however confident you feel, and do not raise stakes to win back losses. Small, fixed stakes keep each result in proportion.

Match Data on the Platform

Live scores and match data are shown on the match page where available. They help you follow the game, but the odds already reflect the information the bookmaker has, so treat them as context rather than a prediction.
