Mostbet has been operating since 2009, holds a Curacao licence No. 8048/JAZ2016-065 and accepts bets in 93 countries. In Nepal, the Mostbet online site and app operate in Nepalese rupees (NPR), the interface has been translated into Nepali, and in 2024 the company’s total audience exceeded 1,000,000 active players, placing around 800,000 bets daily. What exactly are people betting on in Nepal? Let’s take a look at the specific figures and facts.
Cricket: A Separate Tab in the Main Menu
Mostbet knows how much Nepalese people love cricket – this section has been given its own tab in the main menu, placed above most other sports. The hottest season is IPL (Indian Premier League) time: Indian league matches consistently attract the highest number of bets among all events on the site. The line-up regularly features the Big Bash League (Australia), the Caribbean Premier League, ICC World Cup matches and international tours, including games involving the Nepal national team.
Cricket leads the way in terms of the number of markets: for key matches, Mostbet Nepal offers up to 1,000 betting options. Among Nepalese players, the following bet types are most commonly chosen:
- Match Winner — the winner of the match, the most popular market;
- Total Runs — the total number of runs in a match or a single innings;
- Top Batsman / Top Bowler — the top batsman or top bowler;
- In-Play — bets placed during the match with constantly updated odds.
Live cricket betting is particularly popular on Mostbet: matches last several hours, odds are recalculated after every over, and those following the game in real time can react to key moments before the odds have had a chance to reflect them.
Football: Betting on Global Leagues in Nepalese Rupees
Football ranks second in terms of betting volume. Mostbet Nepal covers all the major leagues: the English Premier League, La Liga, the Bundesliga, Serie A, the UEFA Champions League, as well as international matches and national tournaments. Over 500 markets are available for top events; for Champions League matches, markets are added for group winners, qualification for the knockout stages and the overall champion.
Among the outcomes, Nepalese players tend to favour 1X2 (win/draw/lose) and goal totals — Over/Under. ‘Both Teams to Score’ is also popular: a bet that both teams will score. Handicap and correct score bets are frequently placed in matches with a clear favourite, whilst corners and cards are often added as extras to the main bet in accumulators. Mostbet claims to offer the highest odds on football and cricket in its range — and this is largely what determines where the majority of bets are placed. For convenience, Mostbet offers six formats for displaying odds: decimal, fractional (British), American, Hong Kong, Indonesian and Malaysian. In Nepal, decimal odds are used by default.
Kabaddi and Local Sports
Mostbet specifically highlights traditional Nepalese sports. Kabaddi — a contact team sport typical of South Asia — is featured via the Pro Kabaddi League. Here, you can bet on the match winner, the number of tackles and the performance of individual players. In addition to kabaddi, the betting line includes horse racing and chariot racing – sports that are rarely found on international platforms but have a significant following in Nepal. These sections are listed separately in the menu, which indicates a deliberate focus on the local audience.
Esports: Six Disciplines in a Separate Section
Mostbet Nepal offers betting on six esports disciplines: Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, League of Legends, Valorant and several other tournaments. This is a separate section with its own navigation — Esports. Matches take place around the clock, most are streamed live, and odds are updated in real time. Nepal’s younger audience actively uses this section: there is no tie to a daily schedule or seasonality, as there is in cricket.
Betting Formats: Single, Accumulator, System
As well as the choice of sport, the bet slip format is important. At Mostbet Nepal, there are three main types, each serving different purposes.
Single
A bet on a single outcome. Minimum stake — NPR 25. The simplest option, requiring no combinations.
Accumulator
Several events on a single Mostbet betting slip with odds multiplied together. All outcomes must be correct. When adding 4 or more events, the Accumulator Booster is activated — a multiplier that increases the total payout by up to ×1.2. To clear the welcome bonus, you need accumulators with a minimum of 3 events, each with odds of 1.40 or higher, which explains why this format is the most widely used.
System
A set of several accumulators made up of selected events. Losing a single selection does not void the bet slip: the payout is calculated based on the combinations where all events have come in. For example, in a 2/3 system, two out of three events must come in for the bet to win — the third one may not. Technically, the maximum is 12 events and 924 combinations. This is a safety-net format: less profitable than a standard accumulator, but more forgiving of mistakes.
Among Mostbet Nepal’s practical tools, Cash Out is worth noting — an option to close a bet early. For example, with a bet of NPR 1,000 on a football match, the system may offer to buy back the bet slip for NPR 600 even before the final whistle.
What and Why People Bet on in Nepal
Cricket and football lead the way in terms of the number of betting slips on Mostbet Nepal, with cricket pulling ahead by a significant margin during the IPL season. Kabaddi and local sports are a niche with a loyal following. In terms of bet types, accumulators dominate: the Accumulator Booster for 4 or more events makes them more profitable than single bets with comparable risk, whilst the 5× bonus wagering requirements make them practically a must for new players. A minimum stake of NPR 25 and payment via eSewa, Khalti, IMEPay or CellPay lower the barrier to entry — and this also directly influences which bets ultimately prove the most popular.
