1xBet vs Melbet
On trust the difference is not a matter of degree: Melbet holds a licence we verified in the Curaçao Gaming Authority and scores 6.7/10, while we could not verify a licence for 1xBet at all, so it has no trust score. The verifiable operator is the safer-known choice. On speed Melbet is quicker, 25 hours via Skrill against 1xBet's 3 days via Skrill, both measured end to end.
We pair these two because a player could plausibly swap one for the other: 29 shared providers/payments/countries, similarity 0.31. Comparisons below are drawn from the same fields on each brand's profile, checked 2026-07-18 (1xBet) and 2026-07-18 (Melbet).

A highlighted cell wins that row. Trust is highlighted only when both casinos answer to the same class of regulator. Otherwise the scores measure different things and we leave the row unmarked.
What regulators have done about each
| Casino | Published actions against it |
|---|---|
| 1xBet | 1 recorded |
| Melbet | none found |
Most recent against 1xBet: Kansspelautoriteit on 25 February 2019, EUR 400,000. The decision itself.
Read that contrast carefully. A record of enforcement is not automatically the worse sign: it means a regulator was watching, published what it found and can be checked. An empty column is only meaningful when someone has actually looked, which for both of these we have done.
Payout speed, rail by rail
One "fastest withdrawal" figure hides the spread inside each casino. These are end-to-end times for the quickest method in each class, so a card user and a crypto user can each read the row that applies to them.
| Rail | 1xBet | Melbet |
|---|---|---|
| Crypto | 3 days via Bitcoin | no rail here |
| Ewallet | 3 days via Skrill | 25 hours via Skrill |
| Card | 9 days via Visa | no rail here |
| Bank | 5 business days via Bank Transfer | 7 days via Bank Transfer |
