1xBet is one of the top sports betting companies, boasting competitive odds and a wide variety of languages available. It offers a decent service with an emphasis on making betting simpler for the punter. 1xBet is known to be one of the first betting companies to accept bitcoins as payments and deposits, which is evident in its efforts to become one of the first to approve payouts over 3000 euros. However, there are controversies surrounding payouts that surpass this limit, and I would recommend caution when investing in 1xBet bets.
History
1xBet, founded in 2007, is a Russian bookmaker that has been doing well in the past decade. It has an online presence and over 600 betting outlets throughout Eastern Europe. Known for its massive market coverage and excellent live streaming opportunity, 1xBet's network is growing constantly.

You can bet on different circumstances - number of goals, on halves, opportunities of goals, winner, and loser of the match to name a few.

In-play betting or live betting is currently in high demand. You can stream live and watch the event unfold. Thus, allowing you to adjust your wager as per the progression of an event.

It provides comprehensive coverage which means that you'll be able to see the results, statistics and the available markets where you can bet.

1xBet offers decent live streaming coverage of events. Though not for all events, you can watch a considerable number of them live. If you want to find out whether a particular event is being streamed live or not, you can do so by keeping an eye on the TV icon right after the event. If you click on it, you'll be able to live stream. Just make sure you're logged in to your account or else you won't be able to access it.
Welcome Bonus
Finally, 1xBet offers a loyalty program that rewards players with bonuses for their continued patronage.
1xBet does not offer any special gifts, but it does offer a praiseworthy welcome package that includes ?1500 + 150 Free Spins. To get the benefit, you should deposit ?10 and the amount will automatically be credited to your account. Furthermore, 1xBet also offers a free birthday bet.

Losing Bonus
I know this might sound crazy, but 1xBet provides a bonus if you have a series of losing bets. Based upon the stake you have made in the last 20 bets, you can earn a bonus anywhere from $100 to $500.
Design
Bet's website has a clean interface with rich information. There is nothing fancy and similar to major Russian bookmakers, it has a light color combination which emphasizes functionality. Browsing around the website is fairly simple and there are well-segregated menus to help you navigate across the website. The light blue color combination is kind of soothing to eyes as oppose to the flashy colors which are irritating in the long run.
Header
After reviewing William Hill, we found that their header is complex. There are thirteen options in the header - Football, Sports, Live, Promo, Casino, Live Casino, 1XGames, Virtual Sports, TV Games, Bingo, Toto and Poker.
Remember that the header options can change based on what's trending in your country. For example, if you're accessing the website from India, the Football option will be replaced by Cricket. Above the general header options, you can find the registration and sign-up buttons on the top right section. You can even choose the language preference from there.
Hero Section
The active hero section features a live score feed and registration column on the left, with two dynamic thumbnails highlighting different betting avenues - Casino and Live Casino. There are eight banners on the right which are mostly dedicated to partnerships and other ongoing events.
Body
As you scroll down, you will have a sticky section on the right which comprises a registration window, customer support banner and accumulator data of that particular day. On the left, you will find ongoing or upcoming fixtures in football. By default, it is football, however you can change it to any sport that you want to watch. There are options such as Cricket, eSports Cricket, Football, Basketball, Volleyball, Tennis, Table Tennis, Baseball, to name a few.
I like how the developers have placed FAQs in one section under the footer. This section answers all your basic queries such as - How does 1xBet work? How to bet online? Information about 1xBet, what separates 1xBet from other bookies? etc.
Footer
Quite surprisingly, the footer section on 1xBet has placed a section above FAQs. There are six columns - Information, Betting, Games, Statistics, Useful Links and Apps. You can access different options using these menus. For instance, you can access Virtual Sports, TV Games, Casino and 1xGames using the Games column. Similarly, you can learn about the company, contact them, join the affiliate program and read their terms and conditions under the information section.
Inner Pages
Unlike William Hill, 1xBet features a homepage feel throughout the site. If you click on any of the sports, you'll be directed towards the inner pages. The inner pages have a static column on the right which features the registration section and customer service. At the center of the page, you'll find information about upcoming games and details about that fixture. You can place a bet using the right column if you're signed in. On the left side of the page, you'll find a list of ongoing as well as to fixtures of the day.
Content
1xBet offers a vast array of betting options, making it one of the most popular sports betting platforms on the planet. You can place bets on a variety of sports, including American football, basketball, baseball, cricket, chess, cycling, darts, e-sports, football (soccer), futsal, golf, MMA, horse racing, rugby league, snooker and tennis.
No matter what type of bet you're in the mood for, 1xBet has you covered with its expansive selection of games.
Desktop/Mobile experience
The streaming experience on 1xBet was great. I used my Google Pixel 3a for the app usage and streamed it via my HP Pavilion i5 laptop. The streams were steady, though there aren't many football streams as compared to Bet365, Betfair or William Hill, there are still events which you can watch live.
I really enjoy using betting websites on my mobile device as it is more convenient for me. I had a great experience with the website being mobile-friendly, intuitive and easy to navigate. The app I downloaded was similar in terms which made betting on the go quite easy. Furthermore, I would recommend you download 1xWIN software which is specifically designed for Windows OS. This will provide you with the most comprehensive 1xBet experience which you can't get on a normal website or a mobile phone.
Plans & Pricing
To watch any live stream, you need to place a bet of at least 10 dollars.
Suggestions I have for 1xBet
1xBet needs to improve their customer service in order to get more positive reviews and make up for the bad reputation they have on social media sites like Facebook, Reddit, and other leading betting portals. Most of the websites give 1 or 2 stars to 1xBet, which is a major disadvantage in the online reputation of this betting company.
Conclusion
Though I would recommend 1xBet for great odds, I just don't trust them on winnings. I personally never faced any trouble since I never won anything over $500. However, there are dozens of bettors who have claimed that their winnings were canceled because it was over $2000. They got no customer service or assistance regarding the same which is quite dreadful.
