Meridianbet’s Live Betting: Celebrating 23 Years at the Heart of Betting Innovation
For customers, sports and gaming have always been a loved and potent mix, and Meridianbet has been at the forefront of this sector for more than two decades.
Extensive Event and Odds Offerings
A market leader with 57,400 pre-match sporting events across 46 sports and nearly 53,257 live betting opportunities each month. In 2023, Meridianbet offered an astounding total of 681,084 matches, including 361,931 in real sports, setting a new benchmark for the industry.
Empty Bet: Your Bet, Your Way
The Empty Bet feature is what truly sets this operator apart from other betting platforms. Unlike traditional bet builders, which allow customers to combine selections from different events or markets within a game, the Empty Bet service takes customisation to the next level. Customers can submit their own unique wager ideas, as long as they meet legal, ethical and industry good practice standards. This feature is available to Meridianbet’s players worldwide, both online and in its retail network of 742 shops across Europe, the Americas and Africa.
Dynamic Live Betting: Tailored Solutions for Operators and Clients
From the adrenaline of sports to the quirky corners of entertainment, the vast betting options cover the globe’s interests. The skilled oddsmakers have powered this diversity, establishing the company as a trusted name in betting.
A Legacy of Diverse Betting Options
Having been in the industry for over 20 years, Meridianbet has become a household name for offering bets on a wide range of events, both sporting and non-sporting. With a team of skilled oddsmakers, the company can offer bets on a wide range of things, from the most popular sports to the strangest events.
A Safe Bet: The Best Bet
The company’s commitment to responsible betting is unwavering, with strict policies ensuring a safe and ethical betting environment. It’s about respect – for the game, the bet, and most importantly, the bettor. A high ethical code underscores every action, with stringent self-exclusion and reality checks.
Seamless Betting with the App
The pandemic showed us all the critical role of digital access. The company responded by enhancing the app’s stability and speed, ensuring the betting experience is seamless, anytime, anywhere.
Beyond Tech: Giving Back
The company’s dedication goes beyond the bet. With 225 CSR actions in 2023, they are deeply committed to enriching communities, demonstrating that their hearts beat strongest in the service of others.
