What is 1xBET Sports Betting Platform?

1xBET is an offshore online sportsbook established in 2007. The platform is licensed by Curacao eGaming, not by any Canadian gambling authority. Canadians outside Ontario can legally place wagers on 1xBET sportsbook, though they do so without local regulatory oversight or consumer protections.

Getting Started with 1xBET Sports Betting

Before placing bets, Canadian bettors must create a personal account. This registration allows bettors to access all sportsbook features, including betting markets, promotions, and payment options.

Steps on the Sign Up Process

Creating an account on 1xBET involves these specific steps:

  1. Visit the 1xBET website from an accessible province or territory (excluding Ontario).
  2. Click the green “Registration” button located at the top-right.
  3. Decide if you want to accept the 1xBET First Deposit bonus or other 1xBET promotions. Reviewing bonus terms is advised due to the high wagering requirements involved.
  4. Choose one of four registration methods: One-Click, Phone, Email, or Social Networks.
  5. Confirm your registration and deposit money to start betting.

Users are required to provide identity verification (passport, utility bill, selfie with ID) to withdraw funds. After successful registration, new bettors will receive an email to verify their account for the 1xBET website.

How to Bet at 1xBET Sportsbook (Step-by-Step Guide)

Follow these steps to make a bet:

  1. Register a new 1xBET account or log in to your personal account

Reminder
Before confirming any bet, take time to evaluate the market, review the event details, and do research by analyzing historical data, team or player form, and make an informed decision. While 1xBET Sportsbook provides access to various options, responsible sports betting involves informed decisions—not impulsive ones.

Bettors can watch live events directly on the site or app and simultaneously place wagers based on current odds and live game developments as part of a responsible betting process. On desktop or mobile, to access live streaming, make sure the match has a TV icon next to it. Click it to open the live stream. On the 1xBET Android and iOS App, navigate to Main Menu → Live.

Ensuring a Safe Betting Experience

While 1xBET states it employs encryption technology, secure payment options, and two-factor authentication, it's important to note:

  • 1xBET is not licensed in Canada, nor does it follow Canadian gambling laws.
  • It does not offer self-regulating responsible gambling tools like self-exclusion or deposit limits that can be set by the user, rather, customer support can turn on these limits.
  • It provides minimal transparency around dispute handling, licensing, data protection, and educational materials on gambling.
  • Bettors must independently manage responsible gambling practices and carefully monitor their betting activity.

Final Word on 1xBET

1xBET offers competitive odds on a wide range of sports and betting markets. However, users should recognize that it operates offshore, lacks Canadian regulatory oversight, and does not offer responsible gambling measures. Bettors choosing to use 1xBET must do so at their own discretion and acknowledge these risks clearly.
