Every sport, from Football's 1,265+ events to Table Tennis's 546+ markets, carries these options. The odds format is fully flexible too, and you can switch between US, UK, Decimal, Hong Kong, Indonesian, and Malaysian formats instantly. Here are some other fresh details worth knowing:

• Bet slips can be saved, loaded, and shared via code.
• Handicap lines (12TH) appear across Football, Basketball, and Hockey markets.

Esports

1xBet's esports section is massive. Once on the betting page, just glance at the left sidebar and scroll until you get to the eSports category. You'll find yourself looking at titles like Dota, League of Legends, Call of Duty, Tekken, King of Fighters, PES, WWE Battlegrounds, Overwatch, and even niche picks like Hellish Quart and Fatal Fury. Everything from fighting games and shooters to sports simulations is here.

Dedicated Esports Hub Section

1xBet carves out a clearly separate Cybersection in its left sidebar, giving eSports its own dedicated home rather than burying it under mainstream sports. The Cyber hub sits distinctly from the main Sports A-Z list, with its own collapsible category that you can expand or collapse. Here’s what else you'll want to know:

• The Cyber section displays live event counts for each game title.
• It appears in both the LIVE tab and the pre-match Sports section.
• Cyber categories are filterable from the same left navigation panel used for traditional sports.
• The section is accessible directly through the main 1xBet mobile browser interface without needing the app.

Top Games Covered

1xBet's dedicated Cyber section is genuinely impressive. Whether you're into fighting games or team shooters, there's something here for you. Just like watching a League of Legends World Championship final, you can bet on G2 Esports vs Karmine Corp live with real-time odds. Fighting game fans will feel right at home with Tekken, King of Fighters, Dead or Alive, and Street Fighter.

What else you'll find in the Cyber hub:

• WWE Battlegrounds and Undisputed for wrestling game fans
• Esports UFC, which is arguably one of the biggest eSports categories available
• Esports Ice Hockey, Esports Basketball, and Esports Volleyball for sports simulation lovers
• Dota 2 events are running live, similar to an International qualifier matchup
• PES, Overwatch, Call of Duty, and World of Tanks round out the shooter and sports simulation coverage

Live Odds and Dynamic Esports Markets

One thing's clear, and it's that 1xBet's eSports section pulses with live action. When the Pittsburgh Penguins vs Vegas Golden Knights game was live at 3-0, the Esports Ice Hockey odds were shifting in real time alongside it. Really, that's how reactive this platform is.

Hence, odds update to reflect actions that occur during an esports event. You can bet on dozens of markets, spanning 1 (home win), X (draw), 2 (away win), 1X, 12TH, and 2X columns.

Niche and Specialty Games

1xBet goes beyond mainstream sports with politics markets, Australian Rules football events, Bandy matches, and even Marble sports like Marble Football and Marble Golf. You’ll find Bare-Knuckle Boxing, Curling, Biathlon, and unique formats like eHorse Racing and Penalty Shootouts.

Less Common Sports: Kabaddi, Squash, Padel

Beyond the big leagues, 1xBet goes deep into territory most bookmakers ignore. Think Bandy, Hurling, Gaelic Football, Floorball, and Futsal; sports your average sportsbook wouldn't touch. You also get domestic and international events in Lacrosse, Netball, and Sailing.

What sports stand out?

• Bare-Knuckle Boxing
• Curling
• Bicycle Racing
• Biathlon
• Politics markets; bet on real-world elections and outcomes
• Australian Rules Football
• Alpine Skiing

Live Betting and Streaming Experience

1xBet's live betting section is buzzing with action; you'll find Football, Basketball, Ice Hockey, and Tennis running simultaneously. Live streaming is available for select matches. Just toggle the live streaming icon, and you're watching while you bet.

Real-Time Betting Options and In-play Odds

When a game is live, 1xBet keeps you right in the action. The betting odds are dynamic and reactive to actions that unfold in a match. You get more betting markets compared to the regular ones you’ll encounter in pre-match events. Betting options like next team to score, red cards, corners, and props, among many. With live bets, you must react to odds changes and take advantage of the best prices.

What else do you get in-play that's worth knowing:

• Live score displays update alongside shifting odds instantly
• Match period and elapsed time shown per event
• American-format live odds indicators are visible alongside decimal odds
• Dedicated "LIVE EVENTS" button for instant access
• In-play markets span 18 esports events simultaneously
• Live streaming of certain games, depending on copyrights.

Game Clock Display

When you're betting live at 1xBet, the screen shows you exactly where each game stands. Take the NBA game, for example, you can always see the love score and the quarter currently in progress. Each live match shows:

• Match period/half (e.g., "2nd half," "1st period," "4th quarter")
• Current score updated in real time with a green "LIVE" tag
• Overtime indicators
• Map progress for esports (e.g., G2 Esports vs Karmine Corp, showing "4 map")
• In-game time stamps are displayed alongside each match listing

Live Video Streams Integrated

You can watch live bet streaming for selected sports right from the pre-match page. Just toggle the switch on to start watching and off to stop. It’s simple, quick, and keeps you in the action as you place your bets in real time.

Synchronised Betting and Viewing Experience

When you're watching a game unfold, 1xBet keeps your betting perfectly in sync with the action. The live odds update in real time; for example, when a player is issued a yellow/red card, odds tend to change dramatically in favour of the other team. The odds of the team with the booked players will increase drastically, indicating a lower chance of winning the match.

What keeps you locked in:

• Live score displays sit directly beside shifting odds; no switching screens.
• Match period and time indicators (1st half, 2nd half, 4th quarter) appear alongside every live event.

Betslip and Wagering Features

The bet slip makes betting fast and easy. You can add single or combo bets instantly, see potential winnings, and use one-click betting to place stakes quickly. Also, you can save or load your slips and combine multiple markets across football, NBA, NHL, and tennis without hassle.

Betslip Interface

The 1xBet betslip sits on the right panel and handles single and combo bets automatically. Click any odds, and it appears instantly. You can save, load, or use one-click betting, with a default stake of 100 units.

Bet Types: Single, Combo, System

You can place single bets on one outcome or build combo (accumulator) bets by stacking multiple selections. The Bet Slip handles both automatically; just add your picks, and it calculates your potential return instantly. The platform's pre-built Accumulator of the Day shows exactly how combos work: one example combines a Mexico Liga Premier total, a Spain Tercera Division result, and a Brazil Campeonato match into an overall odds of 8.217.

What else you should know:

• The default stake is set at 100 units
• You can save your bet slip and reload it using a code
• One-click betting is available for fast placement
• System bets are not available at 1xBet
• You can manually type in your stake rather than using preset amounts

Automatic Population of Selected Outcomes

When you click on any odds, your selection automatically drops straight into the Bet Slip on the right side of the screen. No dragging, no copying. It just appears instantly, ready for you to enter your stake. The default stake is set at 100 units, so you can literally place a bet in seconds. You can also save your slip using a unique code and reload it later with the LOAD button. Note that 1xBet doesn't offer system bets.

What else you should know:

• One-click betting lets you place bets even faster.
• You can manually enter a bet slip code to populate selections remotely.
• The SAVE function stores your current selections for future sessions.

Multiple Markets or Match Outcomes

The Accumulator of the Day feature lets you combine multiple match outcomes into one bet slip. For example, one pre-built accumulator combines a Mexico Liga Premier total over (1) at 2.192 odds with a Spain Tercera Division total under (1) at 2.13, a Brazil Campeonato total under (5) at 1.6, and a 1xBet bonus at 1.1, reaching overall odds of 8.217. Another ready-made accumulator strings together four NHL games, with combined odds of 6.490.

Key things to know:

• The default stake input is 100 units, which can be adjusted before confirming.
• Save and Load buttons let you store and retrieve your built accumulators.
• One-click betting is available for faster placement.

• You can enter a bet slip code to load someone else's shared combination.

You can build your own multi by clicking individual odds across different sports and leagues; football, NBA, NHL, tennis, and they stack directly in your bet slip.

Quick Bet

The Quick Bet feature usually lets you place bets instantly with a single click, using preset stakes of NZ$20, NZ$50, NZ$100, and more.

One-Click Fast Betting

Currently, 1xBet does not offer one-click fast betting with preset stake buttons (e.g., NZ$10 / NZ$20 / NZ$40). However, you can manually enter your bet amounts just as fast as using preset buttons. You can select odds like 1.82, 4.5, or 3.9 across markets like 1X2, Double Chance, or Totals. These easily-accessible odds will let you bet swiftly, but not with preset amounts.

Customization & Flexibility

You can easily customise your betting experience. Switch between six odds formats from Decimal, US, UK, Hong Kong, Indonesian, or Malaysian. Adjust stakes, save and load bet slips, and use one-click betting. You can mix markets and place bets in seconds, exactly how you like.

Odds Format Adjustment

1xBet lets you switch between six different odds formats straight from the bet slip panel. Just tap the "Decimal" dropdown, and you'll see your options instantly. Whether you're from the US, UK, or Asia, there's a format made for you. Your options include:

• US– moneyline format (e.g., +415 on a game).
• UK– fractional format (e.g, 3/1, 5.2, 3/2).
• Decimal– the default shown (e.g., 2.03, 1.18, 1.03).
• Hong Kong (e.g., 0.50, 2.50, 5.00).
• Indonesian (e.g., +1.50, -1.50).
• Malaysian (e.g., -0.90, 0.75, -0.40).

One thing to know is that system bets aren't available at 1xBet. You're working purely with singles and accumulators.

Visual Organisation of Placed and Pending Bets

The bet slip sits on the right side of the screen. At the top, you'll spot two tabs: BET SLIP and MY BETS, so switching between active and placed bets takes one tap. Think of it like having two folders on your desk: one for bets you're building, one for bets already running.

What else does the bet slip area give you:

• A one-click betting toggle for instant bet placement without confirmation steps.
• A bet slip code system; enter a code to reload a previously saved slip.
• An "Add events to bet slip" prompt that confirms the slip starts empty until you manually select markets.

There's a stake input box showing 100 as the default, plus SAVE and LOAD buttons, so you can store your selections and reload them later; handy if you're someone who likes betting the same markets repeatedly, like backing Roma in a 1x2 bet every Serie A matchday.

Loyalty Program & Player Status System

There’s no clear VIP loyalty program shown on 1xBet’s official bonus pages for sports betting; nothing that says you climb tiers for exclusive perks just for sports players. What you do see are regular promotions like welcome and reload offers that all players can use.

Perks and Rewards

There’s no clear sign of a Sports VIP loyalty program on the 1xBet bonus pages. You won’t find a section detailing special perks, levels, or rewards. That means there’s no listed cashback, free bets, or point system to track. If you’re looking for VIP benefits, they aren’t clearly displayed right now.

Rebate Mechanics

1xBet’s rebate gives you 0.3% back on your eligible sports bets every week. Only bets at odds of 1.50 or higher count, with a minimum of NZ$2 and a maximum of NZ$2,000. Some bets, like virtual sports, refunded stakes, or low-odds wagers, are excluded. It’s credited automatically every Tuesday.

User Interface and Navigation

1xBet’s interface splits into three zones: sidebar, center feed, and right panel. The sidebar lists all sports with the number of games available to bet on. You can filter pre-match and live events from A-Z, and Cyber tabs help you find matches fast.

Modern Visual Design

The 1xBet screen splits into three clear zones: a left sidebar listing all sports, a central betting feed, and a right panel showing your bet slip. Think of it like a TV remote; everything you need sits within your thumb's reach. The odds columns run as 1, X, 2, 1X, 12TH, and 2X across every match row.

What else you'll notice:

• The live match count appears in brackets next to each sport in the sidebar (e.g., Football showing 77–86 live events).
• A teal "LIVE EVENTS" button with an arrow pulses at the top of the sidebar for instant access.
• Match rows display the competition flag/icon, score, time, and odds in a single horizontal line.
• Pre-built "Accumulator of the Day" cards sit at the bottom of the feed, showing overall odds with a red "ADD TO BET SLIP" button.
• The bet slip offers SAVE, LOAD, and ONE-CLICK toggle buttons in a single compact row.

Categories and Filters

The sidebar is your command center for finding exactly what you want to bet on. The Sports section lists Football, Tennis, Basketball, Ice Hockey, Table Tennis, and Cricket; think of it as a TV guide for sports betting. The Cyber (eSports) section includes titles like PES, Tekken, King of Fighters, and Esports UFC, so if you're a FIFA fan or a fighting game enthusiast, you're well catered for.

What else does the sidebar give you that you might miss:

• A filter button sits at the top of the sports list, letting you instantly narrow down your options.
• "Live A-Z" is a dedicated section in the sidebar that shows only currently active live events.
• The sidebar separates "Sports A-Z" from "Cyber" with a distinct red, colour-coded header for "Cyber".
• Niche categories like Marble sports, 1xGames card games, and Alternative Sports have their own collapsible sections.

Esports streams appear as a standalone subcategory.

Center Panel for Events, Matches, and Odds

The center panel is your main betting hub. It lists all available matches grouped by league; you'll see Spain La Liga, Italy Serie A, NBA, NHL, and more, each with columns for 1, X, 2, 1X, 12TH, and 2X odds. Every match displays its start time and a "+" number indicating additional markets available, such as +1311 for Roma vs Juventus. Pre-built Accumulator of the Day bets sit at the bottom, with overall odds ready to add straight to your slip.
