The bookmaker with the most markets and the thinnest margins we have measured — if you can live with a cluttered interface and a slow verification queue.
1xBet launched in 2007 and is now one of the largest online bookmakers by volume outside the regulated European markets. It sponsors football clubs and tournaments across Europe, Africa and Asia and holds a Curaçao licence. It is not licensed in the UK or most of the EU, so availability depends on where you live; it is widely accessible in many regions and accepts deposits through instant banking, e-wallets and bank transfer.
We have tested 1xBet every October since 2023. This is the third year in a row that it has taken the top spot in our rankings, and the reason is simple: nobody else offers this many markets at these prices. Everything else about the site is a trade-off against that core strength.
We opened a new account on 1 October 2026, completed full identity verification, and deposited $60 via instant banking and 50 USDT (TRC-20). Over twelve days we placed 60 bets with real money: 22 on Premier League and La Liga football, 18 on T20 league and international cricket, 12 on ATP Shanghai tennis and 8 on the CS2 major. We requested four withdrawals at different times of day and timed each from the moment we pressed confirm until the money was visible in our wallet or bank account. We also contacted live chat three times with real questions and logged the response times.
The sports welcome bonus is a 100% welcome bonus on your first deposit when you register with the promo code BETQUARRY. The minimum qualifying deposit is $1, which is the lowest of any bookmaker we cover.
The wagering requirement is where you need to pay attention. You must turn over five times the bonus amount in accumulator bets. Each accumulator needs at least three selections, and every selection must be at odds of 1.40 or higher. You have 30 days. Single bets do not count toward the requirement at all.
Five times is a low multiplier compared with the 10–35× you will find at competitors, so the offer is genuinely clearable for an active bettor. The accumulator-only rule, however, raises variance. If you prefer singles, the bonus is not for you; skip the code and deposit without it.
Beyond the welcome offer, 1xBet runs a permanent accumulator-of-the-day boost, a weekly “lucky Friday” reload, cashback on losing bets in selected promotions, and a loyalty program that converts turnover into points redeemable for free bets. The casino side has its own separate welcome package across four deposits.
This is the heart of the review. We recorded closing odds on 40 football matches across the Premier League, La Liga and Serie A and calculated the bookmaker’s margin (overround) on the 1X2 market. 1xBet averaged 3.6%. For comparison, Parimatch averaged 5.1% and 1win 5.4% on the same matches.
| Market | 1xBet margin | Top-5 average |
|---|---|---|
| Football 1X2 (top leagues) | 3.6% | 4.9% |
| Football Asian handicap | 2.8% | 3.9% |
| Football over/under 2.5 | 3.1% | 4.2% |
| Cricket match winner (T20 leagues) | 3.9% | 4.6% |
| Tennis match winner (ATP) | 4.2% | 5.0% |
A 1.3-point margin gap does not sound like much, but across a season of weekly betting it is the difference between a small profit and a small loss for a sharp bettor. On Asian handicaps and totals the pricing is close to what you would expect from an Asian-facing exchange-style book.
In-play odds update quickly. We measured a 5–8 second delay between placing a live bet and acceptance during fast-moving matches, which is normal for the industry. Prices moved against us and the bet was rejected on 3 of 40 live attempts.
1xBet lists more than 50 sports, from the obvious football, cricket, tennis and basketball to table tennis, floorball, bandy, chess, and a long list of esports. The depth on a single event is what sets it apart. A midweek Premier League match between two mid-table teams carried 1,140 markets on our test day, including:
Cricket coverage goes deeper than any other site we review. Beyond match winner and top batter, T20 league and international matches carry session runs, fall-of-wicket totals, batter milestones (to score 30+, 50+), method of dismissal and individual over totals. Domestic T20 leagues from Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and the Caribbean are covered with 40–80 markets each.
Esports gets its own section with map winners, first blood, total kills and handicap lines on CS2, Dota 2, LoL and Valorant.
The live section lists several thousand events on a typical weekend. Streams are available on a large share of them once you have a funded account; football from second-tier European leagues, tennis challengers, table tennis and esports are reliably streamed. Top-flight English football and major T20 leagues are generally not streamed due to rights.
The live page shows a match tracker, running statistics and a quick-bet slip. Cashout is available on most pre-match and live singles and on accumulators where every leg supports it. Partial cashout is supported.
1xBet accepts more payment methods than any other bookmaker we cover. The practical options include instant banking, e-wallets, bank transfer, AstroPay, Skrill, Neteller and a long list of cryptocurrencies.
| Withdrawal | Method | Requested | Received | Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | USDT TRC-20 | Tue 14:10 | Tue 16:02 | 1 h 52 m |
| #2 | USDT TRC-20 | Sat 23:40 | Sun 01:50 | 2 h 10 m |
| #3 | Instant banking | Thu 10:00 | Thu 16:05 | 6 h 05 m |
| #4 | Instant banking | Sun 20:15 | Mon 07:20 | 11 h 05 m |
No fees were charged by the bookmaker on any withdrawal. The USDT network fee was absorbed by 1xBet. Minimum withdrawal varies and is unusually low.
The weak point is verification. Our KYC submission (government-issued ID front and back plus a selfie) took 41 hours to approve, and you cannot withdraw until it is done. Verify your account immediately after registering, before you have winnings waiting.
The desktop site is dense. Every pixel carries a market, a promotion or a casino tile, and the left-hand sport list runs to hundreds of entries. Experienced bettors adapt within a day; newcomers will find it overwhelming. The search function is the fastest way to reach a specific match.
The Android app is distributed as an APK from the 1xBet site rather than through the Play Store, and the iOS app is in the App Store in some regions. The app is cleaner than the website, with a configurable home screen and a simplified bet slip. Push notifications for bet settlement work reliably.
Live chat is available 24/7. Our three test queries (bonus terms, a delayed withdrawal, and a settlement question) were answered in 40 seconds, 2 minutes and 55 seconds respectively. The first-line agents work from scripts; the settlement question had to be escalated and was resolved by email 9 hours later. Phone and email support are also available.
1xBet operates under a Curaçao eGaming licence. This is a lighter regime than the UK, Malta or Ontario, which means dispute resolution runs through the operator rather than an independent regulator. We have not experienced withheld withdrawals in three years of testing, but you should be aware of the difference.
Online betting is regulated at state level in India. 1xBet is an offshore site licensed in Curaçao and is accessible from most states. Check the law in your state before registering.
In our test, crypto withdrawals took about two hours and UPI withdrawals took 6–11 hours. Verification must be complete first.
