Head-to-head
FS Casino vs Melbet
FS Casino and Melbet operate in the same verticals (casino, sportsbook), so most of what follows is a like-for-like comparison.
Everything below is taken from each operator's published record — licence registers, banking pages, bonus terms and responsible-gambling pages. We do not open accounts or play, so nothing here is a claim about hands-on experience.
Links to operators on this page are affiliate links: we earn a commission if you sign up through one, at no extra cost to you. It changes nothing about the facts shown here. See our Affiliate Disclosure.

Responsible Gambling →Welcome bonus terms
The headline amount is marketing. These are the terms that decide what it is actually worth.
| Term | FS Casino | Melbet |
|---|---|---|
| Headline offer | Up to €1,000 + 400 free spins across four deposits | 100% up to €130 |
| Wagering | x40 | x50 |
| Max bet while active | Not disclosed | $5 |
| Max cashout | 3x deposit | No limit |
| Time to clear | 5 days | 7 days |
| Min. deposit | €5 | $10 |
| Free spins | 400 free spins | 30 free spins |
- FS Casino asks the lower playthrough — x40 against x50 at Melbet — so the bonus turns into withdrawable money on far less turnover.
- Melbet puts no cap on what the bonus can pay out, while FS Casino caps it at 3x deposit however well it runs.
- Melbet allows 7 days to meet the wagering against 5 at FS Casino — more time means fewer rushed bets.
