1xBet review

Overview

1xBet is a global betting brand founded in 2007. According to Goal.com, it was founded in Russia and is now headquartered in Cyprus, and it operates under a Curaçao licence. Sources disagree on which company runs the site: Casino Guru names more than one entity, so check the footer of the site you register on. 1xBet holds no AGCO or iGaming Ontario licence, so Ontario residents should use iGaming Ontario-registered sites instead. Elsewhere in Canada it accepts Interac, cards, e-wallets and crypto; full payment details are shown above.

Games and software

Casino.org counts more than 5,000 casino games from over 120 studios, and Casino Guru's list runs to 164 providers. Live dealer games come from studios including Evolution, Ezugi and Lucky Streak. The brand also offers its own 1xGames instant-win titles and online poker. The sportsbook is the bigger story, though. Goal.com highlights broad NHL, NBA, NFL and soccer coverage, extensive in-play markets, esports and virtual sports. Live streaming is limited to some esports events.

Bonuses and promotions

The casino welcome package is spread across the first four deposits. Casino.org reports these terms; offers change often, so check the promotions page:

• 35x wagering, to be completed within 7 days; 1xGames count double toward wagering
• Recurring offers such as Lucky Friday and a 10th-deposit bonus
• Daily 1xGames promotions and bonuses shared through social channels
• Sports promotions including a refund-style No Risk Bet and a bonus for a run of losing bets

Loyalty points are earned on both casino and sports play and can be spent in the Promo Code Store on free spins, mystery chests, lottery tickets and casino credits. Bonuses are not offered to Ontario residents.

Mobile experience

1xBet has iOS and Android apps, but Goal.com notes they are not in the Canadian App Store or Google Play. Android users download an APK from the 1xBet website and install it manually. The mobile site is also optimized, which avoids sideloading.

Customer support

Goal.com describes 24/7 live chat staffed by trained agents, with phone and email as alternatives. Casino Guru says the website is available in French, but customer support and live chat are English-only.

Safety, licence and reputation

Reputation is the main caution. Casino Guru rates its Safety Index as below average (6.2/10) and records 38 complaints against this brand. Recurring themes are delayed or rejected withdrawals, deposits the casino says it never received, unexplained account closures and unresponsive support. Casino Guru does describe the terms as mostly fair, and casino.org cites a Trustpilot score of 3.4/5 from more than 7,000 ratings. Goal.com adds that some users report verification problems at withdrawal and suggests withdrawing with the same method you deposited with. Complete KYC verification before you request a payout. Goal.com lists deposit, bet and time limits, timeouts and self-exclusion; see also our responsible gambling page.

Payment methods at 1xBet

These are the payment methods 1xBet lists that we cover on this site. Availability can depend on your province and account, and some methods (vouchers, Apple Pay, Google Pay) are often deposit-only, so check the withdrawal options in the cashier.

Other options listed: Payz/ecoPayz, AstroPay, MiFinity, Jeton, bank wire, other crypto.

1xBet deposit and withdrawal limits

Limits often differ by payment method and VIP level, and casinos can change them without notice. Your bank sets its own caps as well: Interac e-Transfer, for example, typically has daily and weekly sending limits. Large withdrawals may be split into instalments and usually require completed KYC verification.

How to deposit at 1xBet

1. Register and confirm your email or phone number.
2. Open the cashier and choose Interac (it may appear as Interac e-Transfer).
3. Enter an amount in CAD at or above the minimum (C$10 (cards); C$14 to claim casino welcome bonus).
4. Approve the payment in your banking app or follow the e-Transfer instructions on screen.
5. Return to the casino: the balance usually updates within minutes.

See our Interac casino guide for limits, fees and common reasons a transfer is declined.

Withdrawals

Reported withdrawal times: Crypto/e-wallets: minutes–24 h; cards: 1–5 days; bank wire: up to 10 days. Expect identity checks (KYC) before the first payout, and note that casinos usually pay back to the method you deposited with where possible. Read how to withdraw and KYC verification before you request a cash-out.

1xBet pros and cons

Our verdict

1xBet makes the most sense for Canadians outside Ontario who bet on sports and want a large casino in the same wallet. The casino bonus terms are fairly standard and the game choice is enormous. The trade-off is reputation: Casino Guru's below-average rating and recurring withdrawal complaints mean you should verify your account early and avoid keeping large balances on site. Players who prioritize smooth, predictable cash-outs or French-language support should choose a different brand.

Is 1xBet legal in Canada?

Ontario residents can legally play only at operators registered with iGaming Ontario. 1xBet is licensed in Curaçao; outside Ontario, many Canadians use offshore-licensed casinos, while provincial lottery sites run the regulated options. Check the casino's terms for your province. See our Ontario page.
