1xBIT REVIEW
1xBit first ran a government currency sportsbook, 1xbet. Instead of just adding bitcoin transactions like a lot of government currency sportsbook, they choose to make a stand-alone end-to-end bitcoin site. This was the right choice and the market is rewarding them for it.
There is a lot going on here
- Sports betting and live betting including horse racing, trots, greyhound racing and cockfighting!
- Casino including live casino, lotto and virtual sports .
- Poker room.
- Dice game.
- Forex binary options .
- Games like rock-paper-scissors and Russian roulette.
Website
The website is cluttered and clunky. We did not like it at first but it grows on you as you use it. At first you might feel disorientated but once you learn where things are and how things work it’s actually a cool site.
The site does a million different things and they all work reliably.
Odds
Sportsbook’s overround: 4.71%
50:50 equivalent: 1.91
1xBit odds are industry standard or sometimes better.
Range of bets
Range of sports, leagues and events: Best we have ever seen, from chess to sailing to reality TV shows and everything in between.
Range of bet types per event: Huge, hundreds of bet types available on major sports.
1xBit has the best range of bets of all sportsbooks.
Transactions
Unique deposit addresses: Not available.
Confirmations before bet: 1.
Withdrawal time: Not instant but less than 1 hour.
Player to player transfer: Not available.
You can deposit and withdraw with about 20 different altcoins which will be converted into your bitcoin balance.
Customer service
Customer service channels available: Live chat and email.
Speed of replies: Live chat is always instant.
Accuracy of replies: Good. English is not their first language and they are not bitcoin experts but they are experts in 1xBit and all of its features and rules.
Real life customer service test
Question: If I deposit with an alt-coin like dash does it get changed to a bitcoin amount or does it stay as a dash balance?
Answer:
It will be converted to your account currency.
Notes: Accurate as always, further on in this conversation we stumped him by asking for the source of dash exchange rate. That level of crypto detail is beyond their live chat support.
Privacy and security
Information required at signup: Email address.
2 factor authentication: Available.
Bonuses
100% first deposit bonus up to 1000 mBTC. The funds go into your account gradually as you bet and you can easily opt-out.
There are several different bonuses and special offers depending on your interests, like the accumulator of the day bonus if you are into multibets or a special bonus if you win a bet with odds over 30.
There are more bonuses than any other bitcoin sportsbook and it’s nice that the terms and conditions are explained fully and clearly.
Overall
1xBit does not have the quality and polish of the top ranked sportsbooks but it does have a lot of betting options that other sportsbooks don’t have. Multiple times when we have had a specific, less common, bet type we wanted to make 1xBit has been the only bitcoin sportsbook to offer it, and the odds have been good.
Live chat support is good and in general you won’t have any problems betting here.
