About 1xBit

Cryptocurrency bookmakers are growing more popular with every minute, as popular brands such as Betcoin are teaching bettors all about the wonders of the blockchain. 1xBit, however, managed to do something almost nobody else has done. Apparently, you don’t even have to provide personal information and it’s possible to create an account with just one click.

Does embracing anonymity make 1xBit a contender for the best crypto bookie or is this approach just a security breach waiting to happen? We’ll discuss the entire conundrum in detail in the following sections.

Out of all the crypto sportsbooks we’ve come across, 1xBit has perhaps the best roster of payment methods. While some might be discouraged by the lack of traditional deposit and withdrawal options, this initial shock is more-than-sufficiently offset by the abundance of cryptocurrencies offered.

It’s possible to add and buy the following digital currencies: Bitcoin, Bitcoin Gold, Ethereum Classic, BitShares, Verge, QTUM, TRON, NEM, Dogecoin and several others. What’s with the lack of Bitcoin Cash and Ethereum? We would like to hear a reason for omitting these two popular coins. Transactions are always completed in a time window of 30 minutes, if not less and there are no fees. Well done!

As for customer service, they’re right on par with the latest industry standards for support. You can contact agents via email and live chat and, as far as we’ve seen - the responses are helpful, comprehensive and arrive in a lightning-fast manner. We’ve tested them with a number of different queries and issues and they’ve always acted in our best interest.

We’re kind of unsure what to think about the design. While we love the mixture of black and orange, there are some issues with spacing. In an effort to properly advertise their new promotions, 1xBit often creates clutter on their homepage. The left-side panel helps you navigate across markets, with the most sought-after matches being highlighted in the middle. All in all, you won’t struggle to find what you want, despite the spacing issues. Fonts could use a bit of work too, with better game previews and a comprehensive statistical section. Still, not bad.

Sports and Betting Odds

1xBit offers many sporting events for users to place bets on. Among the covered sports are: football, tennis, basketball, ice hockey, volleyball, table tennis, Esports, alpine skiing, American football, Australian rules, badminton, baseball, biathlon, billiards, boxing, chess, cricket, darts, floorball, futsal, Gaelic football, golf, greyhound antepost, greyhound racing, handball, horse racing, horse racing antepost, hurling, lottery, martial arts, poker, politics, rugby, sailing, ski jumping, skiing, snooker, special bets, streetball, surfing, TV-Games, toto, trotting, trotting antepost, UFC, weather. Betting odds at 1xBit are competitive overall. Soccer betting margin is 4.0%, ice hockey betting margin is 5.4%, basketball with 4.2% and so on. The overall betting margin is 4.5%. These betting margins have been calculated using odds from different events in each sport. Please note that margins may be different from a sport to another, and even from a league to other.

Betting Features

In-play betting can be considered as the crown jewel of 1xBit’s offer, as they have a myriad of events that enable players to take punts while the match is still on. The odds are really nothing special, but that kind of evens out in the end because of the plethora of football markets that 1xBit offers. Niche sports and American leagues have better representation than in most cases, so it’s definitely a bookmaker portfolio to pay attention to.

Security and Fairness

Remember when we mentioned that the anonymous registration option is concerning? Well, the situation is even direr when you realize that 1xBit doesn’t provide customers with information about their licensing or security measures. Despite cryptocurrency being secure, all of this is a bit fishy and we wouldn’t recommend 1xBit to anyone. Betting features aside, there is nothing worth risking your safety online.
