Before starting this 1xbet review, I was concerned that there was nothing that would make them stand out from the crowd. This worry was put to rest as soon as I saw the welcome bonus for both sports and casino.
These are multi-level offers that provide a great start with huge deposit matches. These can be claimed easily with no need for a promo code, which sets the tone for this simple straightforward site. There’s plenty of markets, games and additional offers making this a good place to check out when you’re looking for a new sportsbook or casino.
With the bonus offers being the real headline grabbers, this was the only place to start my 1xbet review. As there’s a lot going on, this is more of an overview, and I’ve put together a separate bonus review that goes into almost forensic detail about how it all works. In short, these are multi-part offers that have different levels of reward, depending on how much you deposit. This makes it work for all types of players, with the higher rollers and bigger bettors getting the best of the deals.
I’ll start with the sports bonus, which is a deposit match of up to 120%. The minimum deposit is just C$4, and anything between that and C$ 200 gets you 100%, depositing from C$ 201 to C$ 340 gets you 110%, from C$ 341 to C$ 440 115% and finally C$ 441 to C$ 540 receives the full 120%. This should arrive immediately after your deposit, and the bonus funds need to be wagered 5x in accumulator bets at either 1.4 or 1.5 or above depending on the size of your deposit. As you can see there’s a lot to this, so a thorough read of the T&Cs is essential, even if you are an experienced bettor.
This is another multi-stage offer over your first four deposits, starting with 100% of C$300, and ending with 25% of C$450 for your fourth. There are 150 bonus spins as well for nominated slots over the four deposits, delivered as you make each one. With so many layers, again checking out the small print is essential as this will tell you where you can use your bonus spins and which crypto currencies are excluded. There is a C$10 minimum deposit at first rising to C$15 for the other three. The wagering requirement for each bonus is a very reasonable 35x, but you only have 7 days which might be tight for some players.
These are very impressive offers which I rate highly, but by trying to provide something to everyone, they might have over complicated matters slightly.
Keep in mind that these offers may vary depending on where you live. For the best bonus offers for your location be sure to check the banners on this page.
After seeing the complexity of the bonuses, I was a little worried the site might suffer from the same problem, but that wasn’t the case. The simple layout was every bit as good as the one I praised so highly in my 22BET review, which means even newbies will get a handle on this easily. Older hands will recognise the style of the site with everything clearly set in the top menu, and the options down the right. This is quite intuitive and should pose very few problems, whether you are placing a bet, finding your account details or looking for help.
Considering everything that is poured into this site, that’s some achievement, especially as I didn’t encounter any loading problems or glitching. Some of this is, no doubt down to the simple design and blue-based color scheme, which work well together to make sure you can find what you are looking for
There’s plenty of sites that don’t have apps, but if you want to play at 1xbet on the move you have a choice of Android, iOS, and Windows 1xbet app. You won’t find them in the app stores, but instead you follow the instructions provided to download them straight from the site. This is more than just the single step needed when using the app stores, but is not hard. The Android app has everything the desktop version does, and I had no trouble logging into and using my new account. Apple and Windows users can expect the same high standards, but I didn’t test those out as part of my 1xbet review.
Whether you are using desktop or mobile, you’ll have a wide range of payment methods to choose from. There’s card and eWallet options, including some cryptocurrencies, but here’s a reminder to check the T&Cs before you claim your bonus, as some are excluded. Minimum deposits are very low at C$ 1, but again check how that measures up to what you need to claim any offers. Deposits should show immediately, but withdrawals will take a little longer with 15 minutes for eWallets and up to 3-5 days for cards. Before you do this, you need to be aware that the minimum withdrawal is C$15 and you’ll need to meet any bonus or KYC requirements before any withdrawals can take place.
I now get to the part of my 1xbet review where I discuss customer support, and for 1xbet there’s good news and bad news. There’s a great combination of live chat, email, Whatsapp and even phone support, which would normally have me singing their praises, but there is a downside too. 1xbet is an international site, and as an english speaker in Canada, I was OK with just a few language options. I can’t however say that would work well for the rest of the world. I was also expecting to see a FAQ/Help section, and this was sorely absent, which was a shame as I found out when I carried out my Stake review, this could clear up so many queries straight away.
The question of Is 1xbet legit and licensed is an easy one to answer. 1xbet started out in 2007 so its reputation and pedigree is quite a long one. In fact I was surprised I hadn’t come across them before, so had to check the license as part of my 1xbet review, and found they are covered under a Curaçao gaming license, which does make them legit.
If you’re concerned about security, there is SSL encryption, and you can set up MFA as an additional step to keep your account safe. The registration process filters out players under 18, and those from excluded territories which include the UK and US. Overall, I’m happy with what I found here, and saw no red flags that might alert me to some sort of scam being in place.
While it isn’t immediately apparent, there is a rewards program at 1xbet, although it’s quite new. There are 8 levels, and you move through them via your gameplay, and are rewarded with cashback, exclusive offers and VIP support. I wasn’t around long enough to get beyond the initial Copper level, but it looks good and would be better if it was expanded to include sports betting too.
There are also reload bonuses with a special reward for your tenth deposit of 50% and 100 bonus spins. Aside from this there are a huge range of ad-hoc promotions you can access via the bonuses tab on your screen. These seem to change regularly, so you’ll have to check what is available when you sign up but I saw an Olympics bonus bet, and 200% winnings for nominated slots. You should also keep a lookout on social media, as you can get wind of new offers there too.
1xbet has been around for a while so there would be no excuses for not having a great range of sports on offer. As part of the work for my 1xbet sportsbook review I found exactly that, from the big 3 letter leagues to sports you’ve probably not heard of before like Kun Khmer (Cambodian Boxing).
This shows the full value of having a long pedigree in sports betting, with the depth of markets matching the ranges, so there is more on offer here than just picking the winner, you can bet on player performance or even what the score will be after a given period. This covers both new bettors and those with their own strategies, so it’s a best of both worlds solution.
Another benefit of having a long pedigree is that you can be sure your odds are competitive, and that is what I found during my 1xbet review. Of course I couldn’t check every market, but those I did look at were on a par with what I saw elsewhere. What did surprise me was that I couldn’t see any boosted odds, but these might be part of a future promotion so it would be worth keeping a lookout.
The odds for live betting are also competitive, and the range of markets here is equally impressive. Each event morphs into a live betting game as soon as it starts, and depending on what the game is you either have a live stream or in-depth stats to keep you up to date with what’s happening. Live betting is fast and without glitches for me, but it might be slightly different if you are in a bar using mobile data.
While there are limits to how much you can wager, you are unlikely to encounter them because they are pretty high, and vary according to sport and type of bet. So a moneyline in the NFL is likely to have a higher limit than a 5 part accumulator on third tier European soccer.
I’ll conclude my 1xbet review by saying this is a very good sportsbook. The range and depth of markets is great, and the time 1xbet has been around has let them work on what is on offer to the point where I’d be hard pressed to fault any of it. I could be hyper critical about the lack of odds boosts, but that would be a small issue in the face of what is an all round class act which I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
As 1xbet has been around for over 15 years, I was expecting to find a huge games roster, provided by some big names in the casino world. While completing this 1xbet casino review, I saw that top providers like NetEnt, Pragmatic Play and Microgaming head up a list of over 100 suppliers giving players a massive choice of games.
With this much going on, there’s alway the worry of too much choice or loading issues, but I didn’t see any of that as the games are clearly divided by type and provider.
Before I started my 1xbet review I was worried that the selection here might be a bit slot heavy, and while there are plenty on offer, the table games selection certainly is not an afterthought. You’ve got the standards of blackjack, roulette, baccarat and video poker, as well as some more unusual games like the Crash themed ones I found during my BC Game review.
These sit alongside bingo, keno and lotto as great alternatives to the regular types of casino games. So whether you like to keep things traditional or are looking for something new, you’re covered.
The range of live games is not quite as large, but that does not mean the area is understocked. You’ve got dozens of takes on blackjack roulette and poker, meaning that you’re never short of something to play, but there is also a small range of other titles. I saw Teen Patti and Sic Bo, as well as some VIP tables I could not access as my status was not high enough.
When it comes to playing live games on the site, this was definitely one of the nicer surprises of my 1xbet review, as I found no glitches or loading problems which I sometimes get due to my location. There were none of these and everything ran smoothly.
With so many games and live options I found plenty of different limits in play, suiting all types of players and playing styles. Another high point was the fact you can play some of the games for free, which means you can see what the games are like and can adjust your own limits accordingly.
I could recommend this casino just on the range of games alone, as there is just so much you can’t fail to find a favorite. Once I also considered the quality and variety of what was on offer, how easy it is to find what you want and the fact you can even play for free, it’s probably one you won’t want to miss.
I’m not exaggerating when I tell you that this betting site covers the largest selection of esports games that I’ve ever seen. You’ve got all of the usual suspects, like CSGO, Dota 2, LoL, and Overwatch, as well as your virtual sports like FIA and NBA2K.
However, you can also find markets on everything from Tekken and Street Fighter to Angry Birds and Subway Surfers. Basically, if a game can be played competitively at any level, this brand will find and offer a betting market.
Given the range of games offered, you won’t be surprised to hear that the selection of tournaments covered is also massive. Again, the established tournaments are all there, from LCK to BLAST and beyond. Additionally, you also have smaller and lesser-known tournaments such as Sonic Generations and Sekiro Death Battle.
I compared the sports odds here to a selection of our other top-rated sites and they often came out on top. In cases where they didn’t top the pile, they were at least competitive enough to offer value. Some of the odds were on games or markets so rare that there was no comparison to be found.
The live betting interface on this site is extremely detailed and contains stats as well as markets. When you open the live stream, it will at first appear on a very small screen tucked just above the bet slip. However, you do have the option to make it larger. The only slight negative I could cite here is that it’s not an ideal live betting interface for beginner esports bettors.
If you want to bet on the most niche esports game possible, there’s no guarantee, but this is probably your best place to find it. As well as having a massive selection, the odds are decent and the live betting & streaming interface is very detailed. Even if the interface is a bit confusing at first, you’ll soon get used to it.
Most sportsbooks and casinos have a welcome bonus and 1xbet are no different. What sets them apart is they have a multi-part bonus that works over several deposits. You can see what you get in detail in my 1xbet review
1xbet is an international site, but not available everywhere. Notable exclusions are the UK and US
1xbet has a huge range of live betting markets, including soccer from around the world. While major games are not always covered you will be able to stream some events live and follow them using in-depth stats.
To conclude this 1xbet review, I have to say this is a really good experience. There’s very little to fault here, and anything that is irksome is from trying too hard. A case in point is that rather than opt for a simple bonus like the one in our Roobet review, they have tried to please everyone, and while coming up with an outstanding offer, it could confuse some players and bettors. There is customer support via Whatsapp and live chat which is great, but they overlooked the value of a simple FAQs page. In short, I like 1xbet a lot, but come away slightly frustrated that it could be even better. I do. However, suggest you take a look and see for yourself, as it is well worth the effort.
