With all the attention surrounding 1xBet and especially their rising popularity in Nigeria, it is definitely worth taking a closer look at their services and seeing whether they actually live up the to the expectations they set.

1xBet legally operates in Nigeria and holds a valid license issued by the National Lottery Regulatory Commission of Nigeria. Going by 1xBet terms and conditions it is fair to say that they appear to be working in accordance with the rules and guidelines set by the regulator, so you can assume that all sports betting carried out here will be fair and safe.

Registering an account at 1xBet was made as simple as it can be – there are three main registration options and we are going to look at each one of them individually. The quickest way to register is called “One-Click Registration” – here all you have to do is select your country, your currency and literally make one click or tap and your account will be created. Your new username and password will be given to you on the same page, so you can write them down, save them as a text file or save them as a picture.

Once you submit the form you will need to complete your registration by verifying your email address. As you can see, there are quite a few different ways to create in account, so in case you are confused or unsure how to proceed – we have an entire page that explains how to register for 1xbet in Nigeria.

1xBet offers their new players a 200% welcome bonus up to ₦100,000 and speaking about the welcome offer – you have to make sure you opt in to claim the bonus during your registration, otherwise you can miss out on the offer.

Performance-wise 1xBet does indeed live up to what people say about them – their website loads quickly and has a nice user-friendly interface, which makes navigating quite easy even if you are here for the first time. The mobile version of the website might seem slightly slow at times, however there are iOS and Android apps if you want to use your mobile device – we will look into their apps in more detail in the “Mobile App” section below.

Finally, we can do a quick overview of support, as there is not much to say here – support is available 24/7 via chat, email and phone. All customer support representatives we got to speak to were very helpful, professional and spoke good English, which made an overall positive impression on us, so if you ever find yourself needing assistance – feel free to give them a ping.

1XBET DESKTOP SITE OVERVIEW

A functional and user-friendly interface design is usually a good sign when it comes to betting sites, as this will enable you to find exactly what you need in just several steps, markets and selections should be clearly visible and understandable while the betslip part should show all details relevant to your bet and additional options and/or features if applicable. Below are some examples of how 1xBet’s online sports betting section looks like.

1xBet website is quite well-recognized within the sports betting community and due to its huge success you can now see a handful of other bookmakers out there using the same platform. This makes perfect sense – the user interface and layout are nice and simple, they make it easy to navigate even if you are a first time guest here.

The website is clearly divided into several sections, so you aren’t going to end up in the wrong place by accident. If you go to the sports betting part of 1xBet you will find a handy navigation menu, which will allow you to quickly switch between different sports and see how many games are currently available. Once you open a given sport you will list of games, starting with the most popular ones and next to each game you will see the overall number of currently open markets. The above is applicable to both: pre-match and in-play.

The in-play section will show you an animated scoreboard, which will display everything that is happening in the game right now. In addition to that you also have a full timeline of the game, where you can see everything that has happened earlier with exact timestamps of each action. You can also have a live stream of a game running at the same as you are betting.

Finally, we can have a quick look at the betslip – there is not much to mention here, all basic functionality is present and generally it has a fairly generic look, which in this case is likely a good thing. The only other noteworthy thing is the “My Bets” tab, where you can quickly review your existing bets without the need of opening your bet history page.
