Verdict: is Mostbet worth it?
The most established challenger — with a payout catch. Mostbet has been running since around 2009, with a strong mobile app, a wide sports and esports offering and the best Trustpilot score of the six here (~2.8/5). That longevity is a real advantage over newer rivals.
But the picture is not clean: recurring withdrawal-hold complaints and a documented Egyptian blocked-account case keep its safety and payouts scores down. It ranks second overall behind lilbet — proven and popular, but if a clean payout record matters most, see lilbet.

Score breakdown
Where Mostbet is genuinely strong
Credit where it is due. Longevity counts in this market, and Mostbet has more of it than any of its direct rivals here — it has operated for over a decade, which is why we rank it second overall. The product is broad: a wide sportsbook spanning mainstream sports plus a strong esports section, a large casino, and a well-regarded mobile app that Central Asian, South Asian and MENA players use heavily. Crypto is supported alongside cards. And while a ~2.8/5 Trustpilot score is weak in absolute terms, it is comfortably the best score of the six competitors we track, which tells you something about relative user sentiment.
The documented risks
This is where the score falls. The most repeated complaint pattern is around withdrawals being held or delayed — described by some users as "withdrawal torture" — where cash-outs stall or require repeated follow-ups. The most concrete example we found is a documented Egyptian case: a player whose account had passed verification was blocked with only 1 of 4 withdrawals paid, the remaining funds held without a clear explanation. Reports of chat and support friction make these episodes harder to resolve. We weight payouts and safety most heavily, which is why an established, popular brand still lands at 6.8 rather than higher.
One point of fairness: unlike some rivals, Mostbet was not specifically named in Egypt's 2026 app-block action — so we do not claim Mostbet was blocked. The legal backdrop in Egypt still applies to all offshore operators, but we do not attribute a specific block to Mostbet on the current evidence.

Mostbet FAQ
Is Mostbet legit?
Mostbet is an established brand dating to around 2009, reportedly operated by Bizbon N.V. under a Curaçao licence — so it is a real, licensed operator with a track record. But "established" is not "risk-free": it carries a ~2.8/5 Trustpilot score and recurring withdrawal-hold complaints, so know that before you deposit.
Does Mostbet accept Vodafone Cash in Egypt?
Mostbet does not list Vodafone Cash or EGP for Egypt — Egyptian players use crypto or cards. Remember online betting is not licensed in Egypt and authorities moved to block betting apps in 2026.
Why does Mostbet score lower than lilbet?
Our scoring weights payouts and safety most heavily. Mostbet's withdrawal-hold complaints and a documented Egyptian blocked-account case pull those down, so it scores 6.8 versus lilbet's 8.3 despite being the more established brand.
