Melbet App Download: APK 258.0.5 for Android and iOS
Melbet
Sports betting, casino and crash games
The Melbet Sri Lanka app download comes in two builds. Android phones install the Melbet APK 258.0.5, a 42.9 MB file published on the Melbet official website, and need Android 7.0 or newer. iPhone owners get the same app from the App Store as "Melbet World: Sports Betting App", which runs on iOS 15.0 and later. Both builds are free and work with one account, so your LKR balance, open bets and bonuses stay the same on every device.
Players who signed up on the site before installing can claim 20 free spins in Ultra Fresh, and bets placed in the app earn a 10% weekly cashback of up to 33,939 LKR.

Melbet APK and iOS Specs: System Requirements for Version 258.0.5
The Melbet download for Android is the full app in a single file, not a small installer that fetches the rest after the first launch. The table puts both builds next to each other, with the details that matter when a phone refuses to install.

The APK targets Android API 37 and ships for four processor types: arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, x86 and x86_64. In practice that covers the Samsung, Xiaomi, Honor, Vivo and Oppo phones most people in Sri Lanka carry, including older 32-bit models that run on armeabi-v7a.
The Melbet Sri Lanka app download for Android runs on any phone with Android 7.0 or newer and one of these four processor types. Keep free space for the 42.9 MB file plus the installed app, and for 295.5 MB on an iPhone.
How to Download Melbet APK for Android in 6 Steps
Melbet does not publish the Android app on Google Play, so every Melbet app install starts from the APK button on the official site. To download Melbet app for Android, follow the site's own picture guide, repeated in the steps below:
Tap the Android button and confirm "Download this file?" with Load.
Open Settings and find the "Install unknown apps" section.
Choose the browser you downloaded with and switch on "Allow app installation from unknown sources".
Tap the "MelBet.apk, Download complete" notification or open the file from Downloads.
Tap "Install".
When the app is installed, tap "Open" and sign in.
Swipe for all steps
Steps 1-3 on the official siteSteps 4-6 on the official site
To download Melbet app APK from a computer, use the QR code next to the Android button on the site. Scan it with the phone camera and the file lands straight on the phone, which saves sending it over a cable or messenger.
After the install, go back to "Install unknown apps" and turn the switch off for that browser. Leave Google Play Protect running. If it warns about an app from an unknown source, check the SHA-256 from the verified file table below and continue only when it matches.
When Android stops the install, the message on the screen points to the cause:
"App not installed".Free up storage, or remove an older Melbet app that came from a different source, then install again.
"There was a problem parsing the package".The file did not finish downloading or the phone runs Android below 7.0. Compare the size with 42,941,880 bytes and download again.
Install button blocked.The unknown-apps switch is on for one browser while the file came through another, such as Samsung Internet instead of Chrome.
The Melbet iOS download for iPhone comes only from the App Store, as there is no APK for iOS. The build sits in the Sri Lankan App Store under the name "Melbet World: Sports Betting App", and the iOS button on the Melbet site opens that listing directly:
Tap the iOS button on the official site, or search the App Store for "Melbet World".
Check the listing: 18+, category Sports, 295.5 MB, requires iOS 15.0 or later.
Tap Get and confirm with Face ID, Touch ID or your Apple ID password.
Open the app from the home screen and log in with your existing details.
Swipe for all steps
The download weighs 295.5 MB, so Wi-Fi is the easier choice on a small data plan. If the listing shows "Requires iOS 15.0 or later", update the iPhone in Settings, General, Software Update. An iPhone that cannot move to iOS 15 will not install the app, and the mobile site works on it instead.
Verified Melbet APK File: SHA-256, MD5 and Package Name
An APK from a forum or a chat group may not be the file Melbet published, and Sri Lankan police have linked rigged betting platforms to cybercrime arrests in 2026. A checksum shows whether the file on your phone is the one Melbet published. These are the values for version 258.0.5:
After the Melbet download, APK hashes can be compared in a minute on any device:
On Windows, open Command Prompt in the folder with the file and run
certutil -hashfile MelBet.apk SHA256
On a Mac, open Terminal and run
shasum -a 256 MelBet.apk
On Android, open the file in a file manager or checksum app that shows SHA-256.
If a single character differs, delete the file and download it again from the official button. Each new version has new hashes, so the values above apply to 258.0.5 only. Never share an SMS code or a wallet PIN with anyone who sends you an APK in a message.
Melbet App Permissions: The Full List for Version 258.0.5
The Melbet APK asks for more access than a page of odds needs, and it is better to know that before you tap Install. Here is every permission group in the manifest of the current file and what Android lets the app do with it:
Internet, network and Wi-Fi stateLoad odds, games and the cashier, check the connection
NotificationsShow alerts on the lock screen and in the status bar
CameraAsks firstTake photos and video through the app
MicrophoneAsks firstRecord audio
Precise and approximate locationAsks firstRead where the phone is
Phone stateAsks firstRead the phone's status and network details
Biometrics and fingerprintUse the fingerprint sensor or face unlock
StorageRead and save files
Install packagesInstall a newer APK of the app
Foreground service, start at boot, wake lockKeep working in the background and after a restart
Display over other appsShow a window on top of other apps
Advertising IDRead the Android advertising identifier
Camera, microphone, location and phone state are runtime permissions. Android shows a separate prompt for each one the first time the app needs it, and you can answer "Don't allow". To change a choice later, go to Settings, Apps, MelBet, Permissions and switch each item on or off. The advertising ID can be reset or deleted in the Google settings of your phone under Ads.
Updating to the Latest Melbet App Version
258.0.5258.0 iOS
Version 258.0.5 is the current Android build and 258.0 the current iOS one. Updates work differently on the two systems:
Android.Download the new APK from the official site and install it over the installed app. Keep the app rather than deleting it first, and your saved login stays in place. The "Install packages" permission exists so the app can put a newer version on the phone.
Version check.Open Settings, Apps, MelBet and look at the version number at the bottom of the page.
iOS.Open the App Store, tap your profile picture and update Melbet World from the list, or turn on App Updates in Settings, App Store so it happens on its own.
A new Android version comes with a new SHA-256 and MD5. Compare them with the values on the official site before you install, the same way as for the first download.
Cricket, Casino and Crash Games in the Melbet App
The Melbet game app carries the full product of the site, with the same balance behind it. Cricket comes first for most players in Sri Lanka: the Cricket section has Broadcasts, LIVE, SPORTS and All leagues tabs, and the line has included the Sri Lanka MCA Challengers League, Ranji Trophy, Sheffield Shield and T20 World Cup 2028 Qualification. Match times follow Colombo, UTC+5:30.
Melbet sports betting in the app also covers football, tennis, kabaddi and esports such as CS 2, Dota 2 and Valorant, with Live, Multi-LIVE and the "Sell For" cash out in Active Bets.
On the casino side, Melbet games come from more than 120 providers, among them Evolution, Pragmatic Play and Red Tiger, and the lobby has a BEST IN SRI LANKA collection. Melbet Aviator sits in the crash lobby next to JetX, Aviatrix and Zeppelin. Fast Games count x2 towards the casino welcome wagering.
Sign Up, Log In and App-Only Bonuses
New players open an account inside the app with the same three forms as on the site. The Melbet app registration screen offers By phone (+94 number and an SMS code), One-click and By e-mail, with LKR as the account currency and a choice between the sports bonus, the casino package or no bonus for now. Existing customers use the Melbet app login with three tabs, By email / ID, By phone and By code, or sign in through Google, X or Telegram.
For players who registered on the site before installing the app. Fill in the profile, confirm the phone number and e-mail, activate the spins within 3 days and wager the winnings x20 within 3 days.
Bets from 340 LKR placed in the iOS or Android app, singles at odds of 1.50+ or accumulators of 2+ events at 1.40+, up to 33,939 LKR, credited on Tuesdays.
A maximum stake limit or a break from betting is arranged through support, which you can reach from the app.
Melbet Mobile Site or App: Which One Fits Your Phone
The mobile version opens in a phone browser at the same address as the desktop site and shows a DOWNLOAD bar at the bottom of the screen. Its menu has the same sections plus a "Download mobile app" item for Android and iOS. The comparison below shows where the two differ:

The mobile site suits phones with too little free memory for a Melbet mobile app download and devices below Android 7.0 or iOS 15. Melbet does not list a separate desktop program in the app section, so on a laptop or PC the site itself runs in Chrome, Edge or Safari, and the footer has a Mobile version switch.
Questions About the APK, the iPhone Version and PC
Is the Melbet app free to download?
Yes. The Melbet app download for Android and the App Store version cost nothing, and there is no paid tier. You pay only for the mobile data used to download 42.9 MB on Android or 295.5 MB on iOS.
Why is the Melbet app not on Google Play?
A Melbet app Play Store download is not available, because Melbet does not publish the Android app on Google Play for Sri Lanka. The official Android channel is the APK from the Melbet site.
Is there a Melbet download for PC?
There is no Melbet app download for PC: Melbet does not list a Windows or Mac app for players in Sri Lanka. On a computer, open the site in a browser and log in with your usual account.
Do I need a new account for the app?
No. The app uses the account you already have, with the same balance in LKR, bet history and active bonuses. Log in with e-mail or ID, phone, a one-time code or a linked Google, X or Telegram profile.
What should I do if the Melbet site does not open?
Use the official channels only: the installed Melbet official app, support on 0112029285, info-si@melbet.com or the Telegram channel t.me/melbet_sri_lanka. Do not install files or follow links sent by strangers who offer "another way in".
Which languages does the app support?
The App Store listing for Melbet World shows English plus 52 other languages.
