At a glance
The native 1xBet app is usually faster than mobile-web on slow networks, with push notifications, free live streaming and biometric login. This guide covers Android (.apk), iPhone App Store, and the no-install mobile-web path. Steps below were checked against app version 113.4 (August 2026).
This is the install + safety page (APK source, permissions, antivirus false-positives, iOS). A longer narrative on the same job lives atIs the 1xBet APK safe? — that article is kept for readers and points here so the two URLs do not compete in search.
Android (.apk) — full install guide
1xBet does not appear in the Google Play Store because Google's policyrestricts real-money gambling appsin most regions. Instead, the operator distributes the .apk file directly from its official website. This is the standard distribution model for licensed international sportsbooks (Bet365, Stake, 22Bet, Melbet all distribute the same way) and is completely legitimate when the file comes from the official source.
System requirements
- OS: Android 5.0 (Lollipop) or higher
- RAM: 1 GB minimum, 2 GB recommended
- Storage: 100 MB free space (app + cache)
- Connection: 3G/4G/5G/Wi-Fi (live streaming needs 5+ Mbps)
- Screen: 320×480 minimum, full HD optimal
Step-by-step (4 steps · 5 minutes)
Open 1xBet
Tap any "Download for Android" button on this page. The site auto-detects your country and language. The downloaded URL contains the official-source signature.
Find the app
Scroll to the footer. Tap Mobile Applications → Android. The .apk download starts (~38 MB on a typical 4G connection takes 30-60 seconds).
Allow unknown sources
Settings → Apps → your browser → "Install unknown apps" → Allow. Open the downloaded .apk file from your Downloads folder and tap Install. Android verifies the digital signature in the background.
Register with VIP4YOU
Open the app, tap Register, choose phone or email registration. In the Promo code field, paste VIP4YOU before tapping Submit. The welcome boost is locked at this step — confirm the live match % after sign-up.
Got it · Download Android APK now →
Only download the .apk from the official 1xBet site (or a partner page that links directly to it). Third-party APK repositories sometimes bundle modified versions with adware or token-stealers. The official .apk is digitally signed — your device verifies the signature before install. If your device prompts "unverified developer" instead of "verified signature", you have downloaded a modified file — delete it and re-download from the official source.
Security & permissions
Antivirus warnings and what the app asks for — expand if you need detail.
Antivirus warning on Android (usually a false positive)
Many antivirus apps flag any .apk installed outside Google Play. That does not automatically mean malware. Verify yourself:
- Size ~38 MB — far smaller/larger files are suspicious.
- Source — official 1xBet (or a direct partner link), not random APK hosts.
- Signature — developer name should match the operator (e.g. 1xCorp / 1xBet Holdings).
- Permissions — Internet, Storage, Notifications, Camera for KYC only. Refuse SMS/contacts/mic.
Prefer browser-only? Use mobile-web with the same promo field.
What permissions the app requests
| Permission | Why it's required | Can you revoke later? |
|---|---|---|
| Internet | Required for all real-time data — odds, bets, deposits, live streams. | No (revoking breaks the app). |
| Storage | Cache event schedules and markets list. Save your bet slips and downloaded streams. | Yes — Settings → Apps → 1xBet → Permissions. |
| Notifications | Push alerts for goals, odds movement, deposit confirmations, bonus expiry. | Yes — silently disabled in Android settings or in-app menu. |
| Camera | Only when you complete KYC verification (selfie + ID document scan). | Yes — revoke after KYC is finished. |
What the app does NOT request: SMS, contacts, location (GPS), microphone, photo library, call history, calendar, body sensors. If a version of the .apk asks for any of these, the file has been modified by a third party — refuse the install.
iPhone (App Store) — install guide
On iPhone the 1xBet app is distributed through the App Store in regions where local regulations permit. If your App Store region does not list the app, you can change your Apple ID country (Settings → Apple ID → Media & Purchases → View Account → Country/Region) to one where the app is available, install, then switch back. Alternatively, the mobile-web at m.1xbet.com works on every iPhone without any region change.
System requirements
- OS: iOS 12.0 or higher (iPhone 5s and newer)
- Storage: 150 MB free space
- Connection: Wi-Fi or cellular
- Apple ID: Region with 1xBet App Store availability (Cyprus, Curaçao, Nigeria, Brazil, etc.)
Step-by-step (4 steps · 3 minutes)
Search App Store
Open the App Store and search "1xBet". The official app shows the green and white logo. Verify the developer name reads "1xCorp N.V." or "1xBet Holdings".
Install
Tap "Get". The app downloads (~110 MB). Touch ID, Face ID or your Apple ID password confirms the install.
Open and register
Tap Register, choose phone or email registration. Allow notifications when prompted.
Paste VIP4YOU
In the Promo code field, paste VIP4YOU before tapping Submit.
Open App Store · Install on iPhone →
If "1xBet" is not in your App Store: switch your Apple ID region to one where the app is available (Cyprus, Curaçao, Nigeria, Brazil all work), download the app, then switch back to your original region. The app stays installed and functions normally on your original Apple ID. Switching back does not delete the app or your account.
Mobile-web — no install needed
Don't want to install anything? Open m.1xbet.com in your phone browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox or any modern browser). The mobile-web is a fully responsive version with identical betting markets, payment methods, live streaming and bonus mechanics. The promo code field on registration is identical to the app.
How to add to home screen (looks like a native app)
- Open m.1xbet.com in your browser.
- iOS Safari: tap the share icon → "Add to Home Screen". Android Chrome: tap the menu (⋮) → "Add to Home screen" or "Install app".
- The icon appears on your home screen and opens m.1xbet.com directly — looks and feels like a native app.
Mobile-web pros
- No download, no storage required (works on phones with 64 MB free space)
- No "unknown sources" permissions to enable
- Bypasses regional App Store restrictions on iOS
- Updates instantly — no app updates to manage
- Works on every phone OS (Android, iOS, KaiOS feature phones)
Mobile-web cons
- Slower on poor network (no offline cache)
- No push notifications (must rely on email or SMS alerts)
- No biometric login (must enter password each session)
- Live streaming may stutter on slow connections (the native app caches better)

App features at a glance
Fast on mobile data
Usually snappier than mobile-web on slow 3G; markets list caches between opens.
Live streaming
Free streams for many top leagues when you have a positive balance (rights vary by region).
Push & biometrics
Odds/goal alerts; Touch ID / Face ID / fingerprint where the OS allows.
Deposits & cash-out
Saved rails (UPI, M-Pesa, bKash, Pix, card) plus cash-out on many markets.
More detail (optional)
Streaming, data use and local payment notes — expand only if you need them.
Live streaming — leagues, quality, regions
Native app streams often play more smoothly than mobile-web on cellular because the app buffers a few seconds ahead. Streams are free for registered users with a positive balance where rights allow — no separate subscription.
- Football: major European leagues, UCL/UEL and many domestic leagues (rights vary).
- Cricket: IPL and other T20/ODI packages when listed.
- Other: basketball, tennis, UFC/boxing, esports and more when offered.
- Quality: often up to ~720p; auto-drops on slow links. ~300–400 MB/h at HD.
- Locks: a lock icon means regional blackout — scoreboard/in-play still work.
Data & battery (metered plans)
| Activity | Data / hour | Battery / hour |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-match browsing | ~30 MB | ~5% |
| In-play (no stream) | ~80 MB | ~7% |
| Stream ~480p | ~150–200 MB | ~10% |
| Stream ~720p | ~300–400 MB | ~12–15% |
| Background notifications | ~3 MB | ~1–2%/day |
Use in-app data-saver if available to force lower stream quality.
Country notes (payments & local pages)
- India — UPI / PhonePe / Paytm, INR. Local package: promo-code-india (confirm live %).
- Nigeria — local rails + NGN. promo-code-nigeria.
- Kenya — M-Pesa, KES. promo-code-kenya.
- Bangladesh — bKash / Nagad. promo-code-bangladesh.
- Pakistan — JazzCash / EasyPaisa. promo-code-pakistan.
- Brazil — Pix / Boleto. promo-code-brazil.
How the welcome bonus works in the app
The promo code VIP4YOU works identically whether you signed up through the Android app, iPhone app or mobile-web. The package-by-market welcome path (intl typically 130% / $130; higher local packages — confirm live) is applied at the first-deposit step, not at registration — paste the code at sign-up to target the boost; your deposit triggers the credit:
- Register with code
VIP4YOU. The code is locked to your account at this step. It cannot be added later. - Make your first deposit. International package is typically130% up to $130; some markets list higher local packages — confirm the live match % after sign-up. Amounts above the shown cap are unmatched.
- Bonus credits within seconds. The boosted balance appears in your bonus wallet, separate from your real-money balance.
- Wager 5× on accumulators. Place 3-leg accumulators at 1.40+ odds each to convert the bonus to withdrawable cash. Group-stage match-days during football tournaments make this trivial — pick 3 favourite-leaning teams from a single match-day.
- Withdraw at any time after wagering completes. Cleared bonus money becomes regular cash and can be withdrawn via your saved payment method.
For step-by-step deposit guides by payment method, see our blog posts:UPI (India),M-Pesa (Kenya),bKash (Bangladesh),JazzCash (Pakistan).
Installing the app on an account you already have?
Then skip the code: VIP4YOU only attaches at registration, and a second account for the same person breaks 1xBet's rules. Log in with your existing credentials — the app carries the same balance, bet history and verification status as the web version. The promotions still open to you sit in the app's own promo section, and the reload, accumulator-boost and cashback offers are listed on our1xBet bonuses page. If you cannot sign in after installing, the fixes are in the login guide.

Troubleshooting — common install issues
".apk file is corrupted" or won't install
Re-download from the official site. Check storage has 100+ MB free. Disable battery saver mode during install. If your Android version is below 5.0 (Lollipop), use the mobile-web instead — the app does not support older Android versions.
"App not installed" error on Android
Uninstall any older version of the app first. Clear your browser's downloads folder. Restart the phone. Re-download and install. If the error persists, ensure "Install unknown apps" is allowed for the browser you used to download. Some Android skins (Xiaomi MIUI, Oppo ColorOS) require an additional permission toggle in Security settings.
App not in my App Store
The app's regional availability depends on local gambling regulations. Switch your Apple ID region to one where the app is available (Cyprus, Curaçao, Nigeria, Brazil), download, then switch back. Or use mobile-web at m.1xbet.com — it works on every iPhone regardless of region.
App crashes on launch
Force-close the app, clear its cache (Settings → Apps → 1xBet → Storage → Clear Cache), reopen. If it still crashes, uninstall and reinstall — your account data is server-side, nothing local is lost. On Android, also ensure your device has at least 1 GB of free RAM at launch.
Can't enter the promo code
The Promo code field is on the registration form, not in the app's main menu. Switch from "One-click" to "By phone" or "By email" registration to make the field visible. The code cannot be added after registration completes — if you forgot, contact support and they may apply it manually within the first 24 hours.
Live stream stutters or won't load
Switch to 480p in the stream player (gear icon → quality). Connect to Wi-Fi if available. Close other apps using bandwidth. If the issue persists, the stream may be region-locked — check the lock icon next to the match. Use the mobile-web fallback at m.1xbet.com if the app stream fails.
Antivirus shows "malware" warning
This is a false positive — see the antivirus section above. Verify the file size matches 38 MB and the source URL is the official 1xBet site, then add the file to your antivirus whitelist or temporarily disable the antivirus during install.
Notifications not working
Settings → Notifications → 1xBet → enable. In the app: Settings → Notifications → toggle the categories you want (live odds, deposits, bonuses, news). On iOS, also check that Focus modes are not blocking notifications during your typical betting hours.
Full FAQ (12 questions)
Is the 1xBet app safe to install?
Yes when downloaded from the official 1xBet site. The .apk file is digitally signed by the operator. Avoid third-party APK mirrors — they sometimes bundle adware. The iOS App Store version is automatically vetted by Apple.
Why is 1xBet not on Google Play?
Google Play prohibits real-money gambling apps in most countries. The .apk download from the official site is the standard distribution model for international sportsbooks (Bet365, Stake, 22Bet all distribute the same way). The .apk is signed and verified by Android during install.
How big is the 1xBet app?
Android .apk: 38 MB download. iOS: 110 MB after install. Both apps use 50-150 MB of cache during normal use. Live streaming uses approximately 300-400 MB per hour at 720p quality.
Will my antivirus warn about the .apk?
Some Android antivirus apps flag any .apk installed outside Google Play. This is a false positive — the file is not malware, just distributed outside the Play Store because Google policy disallows real-money gambling apps. Verify the file size matches 38 MB and proceed with installation.
What permissions does the app request?
Internet (required), Storage (downloads and cache), Notifications (push for odds movement), Camera (only if you complete KYC verification with a selfie). The app does not request access to contacts, SMS, location, microphone or photo library.
Does the welcome bonus work on the app?
Yes. VIP4YOU works the same on Android, iOS and mobile-web. Paste it during registration. International package is typically 130% up to 130; some markets list higher local packages — always confirm the live match % on the operator screens after sign-up.
Will the app drain my phone battery?
Background battery use is negligible — approximately 1-2% per day with notifications enabled. Active live streaming consumes battery comparable to YouTube or Netflix (about 12-15% per hour at 720p). Cash-out and live-betting use minimal battery (about 5% per hour of active use).
Can I login on multiple devices at the same time?
Yes. Your account works on Android, iOS, mobile-web and desktop simultaneously. Bets sync in real time across devices. The bet slip on your phone shows the same selections you started on desktop.
Does the app work without internet?
No. Real-time odds and bet placement require an internet connection. The app caches the markets list and event schedules so a brief connection drop does not crash the app, but you cannot place bets while offline.
How do I update the Android app?
The app shows an in-app banner when a new version is available. Tap the banner — it opens the official site to download the updated .apk. Install over the existing app; your account data, bet history and saved payment methods are preserved.
Can I uninstall the app and keep my account?
Yes. Account data lives on 1xBet servers, not on your phone. Uninstall the app, reinstall later, log in with the same credentials — bet history, balance, deposits and bonus progress are all preserved.
Does the app support live streaming?
Yes. Free HD streams (typically 720p) for logged-in users with a positive balance. Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Champions League, IPL, NBA, ATP/WTA tennis and 30+ other competitions are streamed. Some matches are region-locked due to broadcast rights — the schedule is visible inside the app under the Live tab.
