1xBet review: licence and operator checked
Its Curaçao licence is on the register, but the register lists no domains and the Malaysian site names neither the licence number nor the company.
Verdict on the licence
1xBet is number 5 of 10 in our editorial list. On the licence checks it is in tier B, “Licence verified, Malaysian site not covered”, and passes 4 of six. Its Curaçao licence is on the register, but the register lists no domains and the Malaysian site names neither the licence number nor the company.
Not tested: we opened no account, made no deposit and played no game. The bonus, payment, game and support sections report what the operator publishes, not what we saw happen.
The six checks
| Check | Result | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| Licence named with a number on the brand’s own site | Pass | 1xbet.com’s terms name OGL/2024/1262/0493[41] |
| Licence in good standing on the regulator’s register | Pass | Listed as Indefinite on the Curaçao register of 20 Oct 2026[46] |
| Malaysia-facing domain shown on the licence | Fail | The Curaçao register lists no domains, so coverage cannot be shown[46] |
| Operating company named on the Malaysia-facing site | Fail | malay.1xbet.com names no company[43] |
| Safer-gambling tools stated | Pass | Self-exclusion for 1, 6 or 12 months in the Malaysian terms[45] |
| No conflicting licence claims and no Malaysian court case naming it | Pass | No conflicting claim found and no Malaysian court case naming it |
The method page explains each check and how ties are broken.
What 1xBet says about its licence
The global site’s terms name Caecus N.V., company number 163779, as the operator under Curaçao licence OGL/2024/1262/0493.[41] The Malaysian site, malay.1xbet.com, says much less. Its footer carries only a copyright line, and its Malay-language terms say only that it is licensed by “Curaçao eGaming”, with no number and no company.[43][44]
What the register shows
The Curaçao Gaming Authority register dated 20 October 2026 lists Caecus N.V. under OGL/2024/1262/0493 with the status Indefinite.[46] That is a clean entry. Its limit is that the Curaçao register has no domain column, so it cannot show that malay.1xbet.com is covered, and the authority itself notes that its register overviews do not guarantee a licence’s current validity.[46][47]
The site Malaysians are sent to
malay.1xbet.com quotes bonuses in ringgit and gives a minimum deposit of 10 MYR.[42] The range is wide: sportsbook, slots, live casino, 1xGames, esports, virtual sports and toto.
Safer-gambling tools
The Malaysian terms offer self-exclusion for one, six or twelve months.[45] The safer-gambling page loads by script and we could not read it, so deposit limits and cooling-off are unconfirmed.
The site as we found it
Everything from here to the legal section comes from 1xBet’s Malaysian site, malay.1xbet.com, which served us some Singapore terms, read on 28 Oct 2026. We opened no account, so it is what the operator says, not what we saw happen.
Welcome bonus and terms
We claimed no bonus. Our guide to bonus wagering shows how to turn a multiple into the ringgit you would have to bet.
- The malay.1xbet.com homepage advertises a casino ‘First Deposit Megabonus’ welcome package of up to 9,888 MYR plus 350 free spins.[251]
- The live welcome-package terms (served by location; we saw the Singapore version) cover the first two deposits: up to 200% plus 200 free spins on the first deposit and up to 150% plus 150 free spins on the second, with free spins on Mancala games.[257]
- The cash bonus must be wagered 25 times the bonus amount within 7 days; free spins winnings carry x15 wagering within 3 days.[254]
- Only bets up to a capped stake count toward wagering (8 SGD on the Singapore version we could read; the MYR cap was not visible).[255]
- Bets in most 1xGames count double toward wagering; a long list of instant and crash games (for example Crash, Apple of Fortune, Minesweeper, Roulette) is excluded.[256]
- To qualify, players must activate a phone number or email in their profile and opt in to casino bonuses before the first deposit.[258]
- 1xBet’s Malaysian homepage text separately describes a 100% sports first-deposit bonus up to 500 MYR from a 10 MYR minimum, and a casino package of up to 7,700 MYR + 150 free spins across four deposits at 35x; these figures conflict with the 9,888 MYR banner and the 25x live terms, so the live terms should be checked at sign-up.[253][252]
Other promotions
Deposits and withdrawals
We made no deposit or withdrawal with 1xBet. How each method works, and why paying an agent’s personal account is risky, is in the guide to casino payments from Malaysia.
- With the country set to Malaysia, the deposit page lists 44 methods: 3 e-wallets, internet banking, 2 bank-transfer options and 38 cryptocurrencies.[266]
- Malaysian deposit limits shown: DuitNow QR 30-10,000 MYR, Touch ’n Go eWallet 5-20,000 MYR, Malaysia Online Banking 10-30,000 MYR, GrabPay 5-15,000 MYR, Help2Pay 10-30,000 MYR and FastTransfers Malaysia 30-30,000 MYR; all marked no fees, most within 5 minutes.[262][263][264][265]
- Malaysian withdrawal limits shown: Touch ’n Go eWallet 50-5,000 MYR (15 minutes), Malaysia Online Banking 50-30,000 MYR, Help2Pay 10-30,000 MYR and FastTransfers Malaysia 50-30,000 MYR (15 minutes to 1 hour), all with no fees.[267][268]
- Crypto deposits include USDT on Tron, BSC, Ethereum, TON and other networks, Bitcoin, Ethereum and more, listed as instant with no fees; crypto withdrawals are listed at 15 minutes.[269][266]
Games and providers
- 1xBet Malaysia offers sports and live betting, esports, slots, live casino, 1xGames, poker, TV games, virtual sports, bingo, Toto, lotto, scratch cards and a ‘Hunting and Fishing’ category.[270]
- The site claims more than 5,000 casino games and coverage of over 20 sports with up to 1,000 events a day.[271]
- Named content seen on the Malaysian site includes an Evolution collection in the live casino lobby and Mancala slots in the welcome offer.[272][257]
App, support and account checks
App and mobile
- 1xBet offers an Android app as a direct APK download from its site and an iOS app via the App Store.[274][273]
Customer support
- 1xBet Malaysia lists a customer support line (1800812889), general email info-ms@1xbet-team.com, an on-site support chat and an official Telegram support channel, advertised as 24/7.[275][276][277]
- The Malaysian site is available in English, Bahasa Melayu and Chinese.[278]
Account and identity checks
- The site is marked 18+, and each customer may hold only one account.[283][282]
- For KYC, 1xBet may ask for photo ID (driving licence, identity card or passport), proof of address and phone confirmation, and in some cases proof of funds or a selfie with ID, typically when deposits or withdrawals reach certain sums.[279][280]
- Document verification can take up to 72 hours, and payments can be held until checks are complete.[281]
The legal position for Malaysian players
No online casino holds a Malaysian licence, whatever it holds elsewhere. In 2023 the Court of Appeal ruled that online gambling is an offence under the Common Gaming Houses Act 1953, and gaming in a public place carries a fine of up to RM5,000, up to six months in prison, or both.[28][21] An offshore licence also gives a Malaysian player no local regulator to complain to if a withdrawal is refused. Muslims are barred from all gambling under state Syariah law.[26] The guide to gambling law in Malaysia covers the detail.
We found no Malaysian court case or enforcement report naming 1xBet. That says nothing about whether playing is lawful; it only means no case has been reported.
What we could not confirm
- Whether Caecus N.V.’s licence covers malay.1xbet.com: the Curaçao register lists no domains.
- Deposit limits and cooling-off, because the safer-gambling page loads by script.
- Malaysia-specific welcome-bonus T&Cs: the promotion page is localised by visitor IP and our Singapore IP was served SGD terms (up to 2,888 SGD + 350 FS, two deposits). The MYR maximum, MYR minimum deposit and MYR max-bet cap could not be read; the site’s own MYR figures conflict (9,888 MYR + 350 FS banner vs 7,700 MYR + 150 FS / 35x in homepage text).
- Named live casino and slot providers beyond Evolution and Mancala: provider filters did not render.
- Support hours by channel and live-chat languages are not stated beyond ‘24/7 Support’.
- Whether bank and e-wallet payment limits shown on the info page match the in-cashier limits for a registered Malaysian account.
Check it yourself
- Find the licence line in the footer or terms of the exact site you use, not a portal or a review site.
- Look the number and company up on the regulator’s own register: Curaçao, Anjouan and Tobique all publish one.
- Check whether the register lists the domain in your address bar. If it lists none, the licence cannot show it covers that site.
If you are worried about your own gambling, the help page lists free helplines that answer 24 hours a day.
