About 1xBet

When you’re the official betting partner of FC Barcelona, you know things are going great, right? In the case of 1xBet, it seems like this might be true. They quickly managed to acquire a respectable license and have been on a rampage ever since 2011. With the right mix of niche markets and great features, they’ve amassed a hunger customer base in Russia, Portugal, Spain, Germany and other countries. But do they have what it takes to compete with the biggest names in sports betting? That’s what we’re looking into in this review.

1xBet may be a relatively new name in the industry, but their website design is akin to bookmakers of yore. A deep blue hue instills reliability and trustworthiness, which is something 1xBet is known for. However, despite the noble intentions when designing the homepage, it’s not that easy to navigate it. There are no distinct borders at the top of the page, so clicking wrongly happens a lot.

It’s not all bad though. One thing we loved was the special bets navigation panel. When selecting an event, you can see what you can bet on the left side, under the usual sports list. It’s a great way of saving time and it’s amazing to use once you get a hang of it.

As for payments, it’s one of the best online sportsbooks we’ve ever seen. With 50+ currencies and a lot of payment options available, punters from anywhere in the world are free to enjoy the amenities that this bookie provides. If you’re a crypto enthusiast, you’ll love the fact that 1xBet offers not just Bitcoin, but many of the most trustworthy blockchain currencies.

Customer support is great and agents are available 24/7 via live chat, email, Skype, Twitter, Callback, PM and phone. However, they are slow to respond when you’re reaching out via email. Since a large number of bettors still use email as a primary means of communicating with their bookmaker, we would like to see them improve on this.

Betting Features

The most important thing to know about 1xBet is probably the fact that their payout margins are mind-boggling. Football tops the charts with a 98.8& payout rate, which is simply insane in today’s market. Many events are equipped with Asian handicaps and many forms of special bets, which earned 1xBet more popularity on a global scale.

In recent years, this bookmaker improved their already extensive market coverage with things such as politics, weather, lottery, inline hockey, and many other attractive sports. A good mixture of variety and depth, without a doubt.

Security and Fairness

1xBet is licensed by the Government of Curaçao, which is one of the more reputable licenses in the sports betting industry. Their games are subjected to multiple public audits each year, but they don’t possess any fairness certificates as far as we’ve seen. They also haven’t specified what encryption protocols are tasked with guarding customer information, so we honestly hope that they will address this issue in the near future, for the sake of transparency.
