Accessing Melbet through your browser
The mobile version of Melbet is designed to work on your phone. You don’t need to download anything. Just visit the website and it adapts to your screen.
How to access it?
Simply type the bookmaker’s address in your phone’s browser and you’ll be directed to the mobile version. You can also save the website to your home screen by:
- On Android: Tap the three dots in your browser and select “Add to Home Screen”
- On iPhone: Tap the share icon and choose “Add to Home Screen” This creates a shortcut.
Mobile site vs App comparison
The mobile version does a good job and includes most features you need but the app offers a better overall experience.
The mobile site is great because it:
- Works instantly without downloading
- Doesn’t take up phone storage
- Updates automatically
- Doesn’t need installation
However, the app has clear advantages:
- Loads much faster once installed
- Uses less mobile data
- Offers smoother live streaming
- Sends instant notifications for your bets
The mobile site is like watching TV through an online stream, while the app is like having a TV right in your house. Both work, but one gives you a smoother experience.

Common installation issues and quick solutions
Problem | Solution |
“App not installing” error | Check your phone storage (need minimum 85MB free for both Android and iOS). Delete unused apps or clear cache if needed. Try restarting your phone before installing again. |
“Unknown sources” blocking | Go to Settings > Security > Enable “Install from Unknown Sources”. After installation, remember to turn this setting off again for security. |
“Network error” during download | Switch from mobile data to WiFi or vice versa. If using WiFi, move closer to the router. If the problem persists, try downloading during off-peak hours. |
“App not compatible” message | Check if your phone meets minimum requirements (Android 5.0+ or iOS 11.0+). If using an older device, try the mobile website version instead. |
Installation seems stuck | Cancel the installation, clear your download folder, restart your phone, and try downloading the app again. Make sure you’re downloading from the official Melbet website. |
If none of these solutions work, you can always access Melbet through their mobile website while you troubleshoot the app installation.
