Sports betting has become significantly popular in Djibouti in recent years. What was once a niche activity has become widespread, particularly among youth. With increased internet access and the proliferation of smartphones, more Djiboutians are turning to online platforms to place their bets. Football, especially major international leagues like the English Premier League, continues to be the top choice for most punters. This growing enthusiasm has led to the rise of well-known bookmakers like MelBet, which offer local users easy mobile access and competitive odds.
The MelBet app is a digital solution that offers an exceptional user experience for punters in Djibouti. To install it, users can refer to the bookmaker's official website to ensure they download a secure MelBet APK file. It is available in French, Arabic, and many other languages to make the platform easier to understand. Users can easily access the features to matches bets from their favourite leagues.
In addition to the platform's user-friendliness and ease of navigation, the application offers a simplified registration process. Users can register by selecting the country and currency using the One Click option. Several secure options are also available (by telephone, by e-mail) to ensure that punters' data is well protected.
The application allows users to bet on classic sports, including football, a popular sport in Djibouti. MelBet offers matches from the local football league and several other African leagues. The continental cups (CAF Champions League and the African Confederations Cup) are also covered, much to the delight of Djiboutian punters.
At MelBet Djibouti, punters can bet on over 60 classic sports and a wide range of e-sports. The mobile application offers the following events, among others :

In Djibouti, football betting accounts for a large proportion of bets placed. The bookmaker's mobile platform offers a wide range of competitions, including :
Arab football leagues and international competitions: Djibouti users can bet on the Saudi Pro League, Morocco Botola, and the Arab Champions Clubs Cup, among other things.
European championships: Every week, MelBet offers you the chance to matches bets on the Premier League, La Liga, and many others.

The mobile platform offers multiple betting options :

Double chance: To be safe, some punters opt for a win or a draw for either team.
Total 1 or 2: The punter can bet on the total number of goals for team 1 or 2.
However, some options include betting on cards, corners, fouls and more.
The MelBet app features many ICE hockey tournaments, including :
The NHL: This is the American ice hockey championship in which Canadian franchises participate.
The Russian hockey championship: A country with a lot of snow, Russia is known as an ice hockey nation with an interesting championship.
The betting options are similar to those available in football :
1X2: With this option, users can bet on team 1's victory (V1), team 2's victory (V2), or a draw (X).
Double chance: This option allows Djibouti punters to bet on a draw/win for team 1 (1X) or team 2 (2X).
Will there be extra time? In ice hockey, if the score is tied in standard time, the two teams go to extra time. This outcome is also offered in the mobile application.
In addition, punters in Djibouti can place their bets on options such as shots on target and series of play.
In Djibouti, basketball has millions of fans, particularly of the NBA. Considered the finest championship in the world, the NBA brings together the cream of the world's best basketball players. Most basketball bets involve a wager on an NBA match. The bookmaker covers several other competitions:
EuroLeague: This is a very popular European event in which various European clubs compete against each other, with the winner taking home the Cup.
Basket Champions League: This European competition brings together clubs from the Euro League and franchises from other countries.
Euro Basket: This tournament pits European basketball teams against each other. These national teams compete in qualifying rounds beforehand to secure their tickets for the competition.
Several betting options are available on the platform: 1X2, Winning team (V1 or V2), Total in-game, etc. Some punters can place their bets on free throws, 2 or 3-point baskets, rebounds, assists, etc.
The talent of players such as Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic has helped to popularise tennis. Even today, many punters in Djibouti still bet their money on matches. The most essential tennis competitions of the season are available on the MelBet application :
The Grand Slam tournaments are the Australian Open (hard), Rolland Garros (clay), Wimbledon (grass), and the US Open (hard). These tournaments bring together the elite of men's and women's tennis and promise great entertainment.
ATP Finals: These competitions bring together the eight best players in the ATP rankings. The players are divided into two pools, and the top two qualify directly for the semi-finals.
Masters: These are high-level tournaments. Punters can match bet in a Masters 1000 tournament (Rome, Madrid, Monte Carlo, etc.). Users can opt for ATP 500, ATP 250, and other tournaments.
Challenge tournaments, the Davis Cup, the Olympic Tennis Tournaments, etc.
Punters can opt for men's singles or doubles, or women's singles or doubles. Users can choose betting options on a tennis match: 1X2, Total, Handicap, Exact score, etc. Betting options are also available per game set.
MelBet Djibouti has made online sport betting even easier through the many features that the application incorporates. Users can bet on Arab or international tournament matches in just a few clicks.
The proximity of Djibouti to the French language influences the choice of users who opt for Ligue 1. Similarly, many app users choose the best European leagues when betting on football (Premier League, Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A).
Other leagues (Belgium, Switzerland, Portugal, etc.), less glamorous than Europe's big five, are also paying handsomely for punters with high odds. With stars flocking to Saudi Arabia, the Saudi football league is attracting more and more MelBet users in Djibouti.
More and more users are no longer betting on scores because of the discipline's unpredictability. Teams lose or win on sometimes unpredictable details. Depending on the statistics, users bet on cards, corners, and free kicks to ensure the outcome of their bets.
The English football league is considered the best in the world, with internationally renowned teams such as Manchester United, Liverpool, and Manchester City. However, users have several options to choose from when talking about the England Premier League:
1X2: Punters immediately go for the win, especially when one of the big teams plays an inferior team.
Number of goals: If the opposition is unbalanced (strong team against weak team), users choose many goals for the strong team. For example, the punters can take +1.5, +2.5, or a total number of goals.
Both teams score: This option is chosen in matches between two teams of a similar level. Users can also select this option when a prolific home team plays an efficient away club.
Many other betting options are available on the app. However, punters must analyze the teams’ statistics well to choose the best options.
Spain's La Liga is as attractive as England's Premier League. The players' technical skill wins over fans. The competition features the Real Madrid — Barcelona FC clásico, the most-watched match in the world. Despite its appeal, La Liga does not offer players many betting opportunities.
1X2: Whether Real Madrid or FC Barcelona are playing at home or away, users usually opt for a win in their favour.
Number of goals: Some fixtures between clubs of a similar level can be prolific. Users sometimes choose more than 2.5 goals in the match.
Player goals: Punters can bet on goals from Mbappé, Vinicius Jr (Real Madrid) or Lamine Yamal, Raphinha and Lewandowski (FC Barcelona).
La Liga is often played out between Real Madrid and Barcelona. Several clubs are strong too (Atlético de Madrid, FC Valencia, Villarreal, etc.). Betting on them for a draw or win can be a winning option.
Once the best league in Europe, Serie A, or calcio, is now less vibrant than in the past. Despite this reality, the fixtures promise sometimes uncertain outcomes. Users of the MelBet app in Djibouti can choose from several betting options on the fixtures :
1X2: Many teams, such as Inter Milan and Napoli SSC, ensure their victories against lower-tier clubs.
Under / Over goals: Serie A is renowned for its tight defences, leaving little space for strikers. With this in mind, many punters opt for -2.5 goals over the match.
Both teams score: This option is rare in Serie A. However, it’s possible between two clubs of equivalent level.
Yellow/red cards: It is possible to bet on cards by analysing the averages for cautions and sending off.
However, as the Italian league is not very prolific, bets on goal scorers should be measured. Bettors must consider the strikers' current form.
In just a few years, e-sports have become a global attraction. Cybersport is available on all bookmakers. On MelBet's mobile application, Djibouti users are entitled to several e-sports categories:
Real E-sports: This section has 14 games, including CS2, Dota 2, League of Legends, Mobile Legends, Valorant, and StarCraft II.
Virtual E-sport: This category includes over 90 virtual games (FIFA, Mortal Kombat, Marble MMA, Street Fighter, Tekken, Call of Duty, etc.).

Moreover, E-sports competitions occur all year round, with tournaments, leagues, and exhibitions running nonstop. Games are often very intense and fast-paced. E-sports combine dynamism, transparency, and analyzable statistics.
Djibouti punters can place several types of bets, just like in traditional sports :
Pre-match: Users can bet on a team to win. Some punters can also choose the handicap on maps/kills. Others can bet on a total number of rounds or maps. On the other hand, some bets can target the exact score.
Live betting: Users can bet on the app's next map/round winner. Some punters can bet on the total number of kills at the halfway stage.
Special bets: Several options can be the subject of special bets. Some punters may opt for the first team to destroy an objective. Others, on the other hand, may bet on the player with the most kills. Other users can place their bets on the duration of the match.
MelBet app is a simple alternative for betting on e-sports in Djibouti in complete freedom.
On the mobile app, Counter-Strike 2 is a popular esports game. Here are the main elements that make betting on the platform unique :
A wide selection of betting markets : Unlike some traditional bookmakers, MelBet offers a multitude of options on CS2. These options include match result (team win, exact score), round handicap (for example, -2.5 for a favourite team). Users can also bet on the total number of rounds (over/under), special bets (first kill, team winning the pistol round, etc.). Punters can opt to live betting with real-time odds updates.
Attractive odds and promotions: The app often offers higher-than-average odds on CS2 matches, especially on minor tournaments where traditional bookmakers are less present. In addition, the platform regularly offers welcome bonuses (for example, a 100 % bonus on the first deposit). Users can request cashback on lost bets or event promotions (free bets during Majors).
Live betting: A significant advantage of CS2 is that it is an unpredictable game, and live betting on MelBet means you can react quickly. The odds change according to the rounds, team savings, and individual performances. Users can bet on the next round, the number of kills, or even the winner of the current map.
Betting on CS2 via the app is a win-win experience for punters in Djibouti.
With millions of players and tournaments with colossal prize pools, Dota 2 is one of the most popular games in the sports betting world. Its complex gameplay, evolving meta, and various competitions make it an exciting playground for punters. Here are some betting options for Djibouti users:

Handicap (spread): Users can bet on a team with a fictitious advantage or disadvantage (e.g.,-1.5 / +1.5 maps).
