Mike's assessment

Modest headline but the cleanest terms on our partner list — single deposit, no multi-deposit gating, low wagering multiplier. Probably the best straight-comparison welcome offer for value-bet seekers on the sportsbook track.

Licensing & regulatory history

1xBet has the most documented regulatory history of our partner list. The brand operates under a Curaçao sub-licence (via Cyberluck Curaçao N.V.) and is headquartered in Cyprus. The operational entity 1xCorp N.V. was declared bankrupt by Curaçao courts in proceedings concluded in May 2024, although the trading site continues to accept registrations. The list below summarises the most material public incidents — readers should review and form their own view before registering.

2019

UK Gambling Commission investigation following The Sunday Times reporting

The Sunday Times published an investigation into the site's offering, which included markets the UK Gambling Commission found unacceptable. The UKGC required licensed partners (including Liverpool and Chelsea FC, who had short-lived 1xBet sponsorships) to cut ties. 1xBet withdrew from the UK market.

2018-2019

Dutch Gaming Authority (Kansspelautoriteit) €400,000 fine

The Dutch regulator found 1xBet had targeted Dutch players through approximately 83 different domains during 2018, in violation of Dutch unlicensed-gambling rules. The €400,000 fine was issued to the Curaçao operating entity.

Nov 2022 – May 2024

Curaçao bankruptcy proceedings

The Curaçao Court of First Instance declared 1xCorp N.V. bankrupt in November 2022 following a claim brought by SBOK, a foundation representing player creditors. The Curaçao Court of Justice upheld the bankruptcy on appeal in May 2024. 1xBet has publicly contested the impact on operations and the trading site continues to accept registrations.

1xBet FAQ

Is 1xBet legal in my country?
1xBet operates under a Curaçao sub-licence. It is not legally accessible to players resident in the United States, United Kingdom, France, Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Australia, Iran and several other jurisdictions. If you live in a country with a domestic licensing regime, 1xBet is unlikely to be a legal option for you. Check your local regulator's published blocklist before registering.
Is 1xBet bankrupt?
The Curaçao operating entity 1xCorp N.V. was declared bankrupt by the Curaçao Court of First Instance in November 2022, a ruling upheld by the Curaçao Court of Justice on appeal in May 2024. The trading site continues to accept registrations and process bets. 1xBet has publicly contested the impact of the ruling on its operations. We disclose this so you can make an informed decision; we are not lawyers and cannot advise on what the bankruptcy ruling means for individual player funds.
What is the 1xBet welcome bonus for World Cup 2026?
The standard sportsbook welcome offer is a 100% match on your first deposit up to €100 (or $130 / equivalent). Use of a promo code can extend the headline to €130. The wagering requirement is 5 times on accumulator bets containing at least 3 selections at minimum 1.40 odds per selection. The validity is 30 days. The casino-side welcome package is larger (up to €1,950 + 150 free spins across four deposits) but carries a 35× wagering requirement on the bonus.
Why did 1xBet leave the UK market?
In 2019, The Sunday Times published an investigation into 1xBet's offering. The UK Gambling Commission took action against the brand and required UK-licensed partners (including Liverpool FC and Chelsea FC, who had short-lived 1xBet sponsorships at the time) to cut commercial ties. 1xBet subsequently withdrew from the UK market and has not returned. The brand continues to operate in most non-UK jurisdictions under its Curaçao sub-licence.
How long do 1xBet withdrawals take?
Withdrawal speed depends on the method and the size of the withdrawal. Cryptocurrency withdrawals typically process within 15-30 minutes after approval. E-wallet withdrawals (Skrill, Neteller) take 1-24 hours. Card withdrawals can take up to 7 business days. Note: account-level KYC freezes on large withdrawals are reported more often than at peer operators — be prepared to provide identity verification documents and supporting paperwork on amounts above €1,000 and again on amounts above €10,000.
