Types of offer
Melbet's promotions fall into a handful of types. Each type has its own usual rules.
Deposit bonus
A percentage added to a qualifying deposit, up to a maximum, with its own wagering requirement.
Free bet
A stake you can place without using your own money. Usually only the winnings are paid, not the free bet stake itself.
Cashback
A percentage of stakes or losses returned, often weekly and often as a promo code with its own rules.
Promo code
A code that unlocks a specific offer. Promo-code bets usually have their own minimum odds.
Tournaments and draws
Leaderboards and prize draws where you compete with other players for a fixed prize pool.
How wagering requirements work
A wagering requirement is the amount you have to bet before bonus funds, or winnings from them, can be withdrawn. It's written as a multiple of the bonus, such as 8x.
Worked example: a 2,000 ETB bonus with an 8x requirement means 16,000 ETB in qualifying bets. On Melbet's welcome bonus only accumulators with at least 3 selections at 2.10 or higher count, so a single bet at 1.80 doesn't reduce what's left.
The terms also say which bets count and how long you have. If wagering isn't finished by the deadline, the bonus and its winnings are usually removed.
What to check before claiming
Every offer's terms set out its conditions. These are the ones that matter most:
- Eligibility: new accounts only, first deposit only, completed profile, activated phone.
- Minimum deposit to qualify.
- Wagering: the multiple and what it applies to.
- Qualifying bets: minimum odds, number of selections, excluded markets.
- Time limit to complete wagering.
- Currency: some prizes are set in USD and converted to birr at the current rate.
