What is 1xBit?
1xBit is a crypto-only sportsbook and casino that has operated since 2016, run by Oceaventure Limited, a British Virgin Islands company licensed in Anjouan, Union of Comoros.
The product has real substance: a sportsbook covering more than 50 sports with odds in six formats, slots from tier-one studios we confirmed in the lobby, the largest live dealer library in our rated set, 35 cryptocurrencies in the cashier with a multi-currency account and MetaMask sign-in, and no deposit or withdrawal fees. It settles entirely in cryptocurrency. There are no fiat rails.
Our Rating: 2.5 / 5
Scored on our weighted criteria from documented evidence, as set out on our How We Rate Casinos page. Two of the criteria are provisional: we did not open an account, so our experience and support scores are based on the public site rather than first-hand use, and we say so rather than implying a test we did not run.
Is 1xBit Legit and Safe?
Licensed, but the license does not cover the site you would play on. Oceaventure Limited holds Anjouan license ALSI-202409027-FI2, which we read on the register on 17 August 2026 and which matches the operator named in the terms exactly. It expires on 15 September 2026, and it covers 1xbit.com and 1xbitx.com. Both redirect to 1xbit1.com, where the cashier and the terms actually live. That domain appears on no license we can find.
The public record carries repeated allegations of refused withdrawals and closed accounts across several independent channels. None has been adjudicated, but the terms permit what they describe: clause 2 lets the company void winnings after an investigation and need not show its evidence. Anjouan's authority does not adjudicate player disputes, and we could not locate the complaint route it requires this operator to maintain.
The license is real
1xBit's terms and conditions, clause 2, name the operator: Oceaventure Limited, registered in the British Virgin Islands under number 2156948, at ABM Chambers, Columbus Center, Road Town, Tortola, governed by the laws of the Autonomous Island of Anjouan, Union of Comoros.
We read the Anjouan license register directly on 17 August 2026. Oceaventure Limited appears on it: license ALSI-202409027-FI2, business-to-consumer, status valid, issued 16 September 2024, expiring 15 September 2026, covering the domains 1xbit.com and 1xbitx.com. The entity on the register matches the entity in the terms exactly.
Now the qualifications, and they are heavy.
- The license expires weeks from this review's check date: A license that reads valid today reads expired on 16 September 2026 unless it is renewed. We will re-check the register after that date and update this page either way. If you are reading this after mid-September, check the register yourself before depositing.
- The site misprints its own license number: The footer prints ALSI-20240927-FI2; the register says ALSI-202409027-FI2, one digit longer. Cosmetic, but a reader who tries to look the license up using the number printed on the site will not find it.
- The license statement on the site is a template: The raw page payload contains a placeholder, rendered as whichever domain you happen to be on, followed by the claim that it is licensed and regulated by the Government of the Autonomous Island of Anjouan. We verified this on 17 August 2026. The practical effect: every mirror domain asserts its own licensed status, regardless of what the register actually says about that domain.
- We found no Oceaventure entry in the enforcement records: Anjouan publishes suspended licenses, revoked licenses and regulatory notices, and Oceaventure appears on none of them. Its enforcement policy also provides for compliance notices and administrative penalties, which are not published at license level, so absence from those pages is not proof of a clean regulatory record.
What the regulator will and will not do for you
This matters more than the license itself, and the article you are reading has been corrected on it.
The Anjouan authority states that it does not handle, mediate or adjudicate player complaints, and that players should not contact it to resolve a dispute. Its role is supervisory: it checks whether operators maintain a working complaints process, not whether any individual player gets paid.
The process it sets out runs in two steps. Complaints go to the operator first, through the operator's interactive site seal, and the operator must respond within 30 calendar days. If that fails, the player may escalate to an approved independent ADR provider. ADR participation is mandatory for all licensed operators, and the operator bears the cost.
That is a materially better framework on paper. The gap is between the framework and what we could verify. We could not locate the interactive-site-seal complaint route on the play domain, and we could not identify which approved ADR provider Oceaventure uses. That makes the regulator-mandated process difficult for a prospective player to verify before depositing. Look for that seal and that route yourself before you fund an account.
One more thing worth knowing if you are in a barred country: the Anjouan complaint process expressly excludes complaints from players in excluded territories. If you play from a jurisdiction the operator bars, do not assume the regulator-mandated complaint and ADR process will be available to you.
The domain you actually play on
This one matters, and it applies to our own link. The license covers 1xbit.com and 1xbitx.com. Follow either and you do not stay there: both are redirect shells that forward to 1xbit1.com, which is where the lobby, the registration form, the cashier and the terms all live. Our own affiliate link routes through the operator's tracking gateway and lands on 1xbit1.com too. We traced the full chain on 17 August 2026.
1xbit1.com appears on no license we can find. So the honest statement of 1xBit's licensing position is this: the brand holds a valid license, and that license cannot be tied to the site players actually play on and deposit to. The two licensed domains are shells; the working domain is not on the register. We have asked for 1xbit1.com to be added to the license. Until it is, "licensed" is true of the paperwork and unverifiable of the destination.
A related practical problem: the operator churns through mirror domains, and players searching for a specific mirror by name is common enough to show up in search data. A site whose working address moves under you is a defect in its own right, and it is part of why our experience score is where it is.
The complaint record
This is the decisive section of this review. Everything in it is an allegation by the person who made it. None has been adjudicated by a court or a regulator, and we do not combine heterogeneous sources into a single complaint total.
- A dedicated complaints service currently lists two dedicated 1xBit complaints, and neither is resolved. In one, a player states his account became inaccessible and a balance of almost 600 USD was retained, with no specific clause or evidence given for the closure; the service warned the operator the case would be closed unresolved if it failed to respond within the stated timeframe. Two cases is not the universe of public complaints about this operator; it is what one dedicated complaints service currently holds.
- Trustpilot carries considerably more. As of our capture on 17 August 2026 the profile showed 2.5 out of 5, rated Poor, from 2,186 reviews, with 41% at five stars and 35% at one star and the remaining quarter spread across the middle. Live counts move, so treat those as dated figures. The profile is claimed, and Trustpilot's own label states the company has not replied to its negative reviews. There is no manipulation alert or rating suspension on the profile, so the score stands as Trustpilot's own.
That 41% five-star share is worth naming rather than skipping past. The distribution is unusually polarized, 41% at five stars against 35% at one, and Trustpilot has placed neither a manipulation warning nor a rating suspension on the profile. We report the split as it stands without inferring why it exists.
Recent one-star reviews contain repeated allegations of withdrawals refused, accounts closed and funds becoming inaccessible. A Polish reviewer (July 2026) says payment was refused over a multiple-accounts allegation he disputes on what he describes as his first and only account. An Indian reviewer (June 2026) says he deposited 700 USDT, grew it to 2,404, and had the withdrawal blocked pending escalating document demands.
A Turkish reviewer (May 2026) says his account was closed on a withdrawal request, citing a security violation, with no specific rule or evidence shared. Another (May 2026) reports 673 USD confiscated on closure with no explanation. One (March 2026) reports roughly 0.3 BTC frozen behind a one-line ban message. Another (March 2026) describes three months of normal play and successful withdrawals, then closure after a couple of winning bets, with about 3,000 euros held.
Public forums add further first-hand reports in the same shape, including at least one player who states a self-exclusion request was not implemented. Forum testimony is pseudonymous and unverified, and we treat it as testimony rather than evidence of a general practice.
These channels differ in reliability and in how they classify cases, which is exactly why we do not add them together into one number. What they share is a shape.
Why we find that shape credible: the terms permit it. Clause 2 lets the company, after an investigation, block an account and void all bonuses and winnings, refunding only the balance as it stood when the investigation began. The same clause states that the administration is not obliged to present evidence and conclusions to customers, and separately reserves the right to refuse to pay winnings, refund stakes, or cancel bets where the rules are held to be violated. Clause 28 adds an open-ended right to verify winnings with partners before paying them.
That is the structural point, and it does not depend on any individual complaint being true. A closure with no rule cited and no evidence produced would not be the operator breaking its contract. It is what the contract allows.
Deposits and Withdrawals
On paper this is one of the better payment sections in the market: no fees either way, 24/7 processing, and a 1x deposit turnover requirement at the fair end of the sector. Three things qualify it. Limits are unpublished and set at the operator's discretion. Clause 8 lets the operator demand verification before paying, and public allegations describe that happening as balances grow. And funds sent on the wrong network are gone, with no recourse.
- Fees and speed: 1xBit charges no fees of its own on deposits or withdrawals, processes requests 24/7, and settles entirely in cryptocurrency (clause 8). The operator claims crypto payments happen instantly, but the binding terms promise only round-the-clock processing.
- The turnover rule: Before any withdrawal, clause 8 permits the security service to refuse the request unless your bets add up to the sum of all your deposits, at odds of at least 1.1. That is effectively a 1x deposit turnover requirement, which is at the fair end of this market, provided you know about it before you try to cash out.
- Verification on demand: Sign-up is email and password only, but clause 8 lets the operator refuse a withdrawal and require the account to be verified before it is paid. The gap between the marketing and this clause is one of the defining facts about 1xBit, and the next section deals with it.
- Limits are not published: Minimum and maximum deposit and withdrawal amounts are, in the terms' own words, determined at the discretion of the bookmaker, and are visible only inside a logged-in account. We could not verify them, and we do not repeat anyone else's figures.
Funds sent on the wrong network are lost with no recourse (clause 8). An account inactive for three months may be blocked, with unblocking requiring an email to the security team (clause 2). There is no dormancy fee, but a three-month window is unusually aggressive. And the terms may be changed at any time without prior notice (clause 2).
The No-KYC Claim
1xBit markets itself hard on anonymity, including in its own page titles, and the claim needs correcting rather than repeating.
What is true: the public registration flow requires an email address and password, nothing else, with optional sign-in through Google, Telegram, Twitch, X or a MetaMask wallet, and 1xBit markets standard accounts as requiring no personal documentation. We did not deposit, so we cannot establish whether verification can be triggered during funding.
What is also true: clause 8 reserves the right to demand verification before any withdrawal, and the public record contains repeated allegations of that happening at exactly the moment a balance becomes worth withdrawing. One Trustpilot reviewer describes support requesting email access and then personal documents before a withdrawal would move.
So the accurate framing is this: 1xBit is no-KYC at sign-up and KYC at the operator's discretion at withdrawal. Anonymity here is conditional, and the condition can be exercised at the point where you have the most to lose. Descriptions of 1xBit as one of the most anonymous betting platforms available do not survive its own terms.
The age check inherits the same weakness. We found no age-verification step in the publicly accessible registration flow, and because we did not complete an account lifecycle we cannot rule out a check at a later stage. Age verification procedures are a condition of this operator's license.
Bonuses
The welcome package headline is up to 700,000 USDT plus 250 free spins, spread over four deposits: 100% up to 100,000 USDT plus 70 free spins on the first, 50% up to 100,000 on the second, 100% up to 200,000 on the third, and 50% up to 300,000 on the fourth (clause 27). The minimum qualifying deposit is 10 USDT, and the binding caps are denominated in USDT.
The wagering requirement is 40x the deposit amount within 30 days. Deposit-based rather than bonus-based, which makes it materially heavier than the same multiple applied to a bonus. Sports bets count only at odds of 1.60 or higher. Game weighting is 100% on 40 named providers, 50% on all other slots, and 0% on a long exclusion list covering live casino, roulette, baccarat, poker, crash-style games, provably fair titles, TV games, virtual sports, bingo and keno.
In practice: if your game is live dealer or crash, this bonus cannot be cleared at all. That matters more here than at most sites, because the live dealer library is the best reason to be on this one.
Two terms are genuinely better than the sector norm, and we credit them. There is no maximum cashout on the deposit bonuses. And the max-bet rule is soft rather than punitive: casino spins over 50 USDT and sports bets over 2,000 USDT simply do not count toward wagering, instead of voiding the bonus.
The rest of the small print: free spin winnings carry a separate 30x requirement with 10 days to wager; the bonus can be withheld if a deposit immediately follows a withdrawal with no play in between; and the confiscation clauses discussed above apply to bonus play with full force.
Games and Live Casino
The strongest thing about 1xBit is the size of the casino, and one part of it we can quantify ourselves. In our own coverage count on 17 August 2026, 1xBit ran 1,452 live dealer tables, 865 of them blackjack, the largest live dealer library in our rated set. If live dealer volume is what you care about, nothing else we rate matches it. Note that the welcome bonus excludes live casino entirely.
On slots, we verified real tier-one studios first-hand in the lobby: Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Hacksaw Gaming, Nolimit City, Red Tiger and BGaming among them, and the bonus terms name 40 providers in total. Demo play works without an account. We are not publishing a total game count: the operator's own pages state the figure inconsistently, with its About page saying over 10,000 slots, and we could not count the full library from outside an account.
On fairness, the site claims and does not show. Clause 28 states that game outcomes are determined by a random number generator, and a Provably Fair category exists in the lobby taxonomy. But no testing laboratory is named anywhere on the site, no certificate is published, and we did not test any verification tooling. The catalogue includes established third-party studios, but we did not verify the certification status of individual titles, and 1xBit publishes no operator-level game certificate of its own.
Sportsbook
1xBit is sportsbook-led. The operator currently advertises more than 50 sports and esports, over 1,000 daily events, odds in six formats, plus Multi-LIVE viewing, live streaming, cash-out, and Toto/Lotto products. These are operator-stated figures we did not independently count.
Cryptocurrency
We counted 35 cryptocurrencies in the cashier on 17 August 2026, including BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC, DAI, XMR, ZEC, TON, TRX and SOL, across multiple networks. 1xBit's public marketing separately advertises 40 or more; we quote the number we counted ourselves. The account is multi-currency, sign-in via MetaMask is supported, and there are no fiat rails at all. 1xBit charges no fees on crypto in or out.
Two cautions. Wrong-network transfers are lost with no recourse under clause 8, so check the network on every transaction. And automatic cross-currency conversion is claimed but was not tested by us.
A note on Telegram, since 1xBit markets its Telegram presence: what exists is a login method and an announcements channel. It is not a playable Telegram casino, and anyone expecting a play-in-chat product will not find one.
Restricted Countries
Clause 2 bars residents of Austria, Australia, Comoros, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom, the USA, North Korea, Russia and Belarus, and reserves the right to refuse players from any other country at the operator's discretion.
Take the list seriously even though the site will let you register, for two reasons.
First, the discretionary clauses in the terms apply to you if you are there. Public complaints include allegations of accounts being closed around the withdrawal stage, and we do not have evidence establishing that restricted-country rules are systematically enforced only at cash-out. The terms give the operator that option, and using a VPN to reach the site from a barred country puts your balance at risk under exactly those clauses.
Second, and more concretely: the Anjouan complaint process expressly excludes complaints from players in excluded territories. If you play from a barred jurisdiction, do not assume the regulator-mandated complaint and ADR route will be open to you.
Responsible Gambling
Anjouan requires responsible gaming measures as a condition of licensure. Licensed operators must provide self-exclusion mechanisms, player controls for setting limits on deposits, wagers, losses and session duration, age verification procedures, and clear accessible information on responsible gaming and available support resources.
We enumerated every link on the play domain on 17 August 2026 and could not find most of that.
There is no responsible gambling page. We found no publicly accessible deposit, wager, loss or session-duration controls. There are no reality checks and no cooling-off tool. The word "responsible" does not appear on the lobby page. There is no reference to GamCare, BeGambleAware, Gambling Therapy, GAMSTOP or any other help organization anywhere on the public site, which is the signposting obligation the regulator names explicitly.
The limit of what we can say
We inspected from outside an account, so we cannot rule out controls behind login; we can only report that we found none in the publicly accessible site structure. If they are not there either, that would appear inconsistent with the license conditions. What we can say without qualification is that a prospective player cannot see them at the point of deciding whether to deposit, which is when they matter most.
The only provision we found is a paragraph in the terms (clause 2): a voluntary self-exclusion for one month, six months or one year, arranged by contacting customer support to close the account. It is not an in-account control, and the terms let you ask for it to be lifted early, with the final decision resting with the company.
Anjouan requires operators to maintain a self-exclusion procedure and honor valid requests; one the company can reverse at its own discretion sits awkwardly against that. One player has publicly stated on a forum that a self-exclusion request was not implemented. That report is unverified and unadjudicated, so we present it as testimony rather than established failure. There is also a self-assessment quiz in the terms, and advice to set limits. Advice is not a tool.
What this means for you
If you have any history of gambling harm, we could not find the controls on this site that would help you manage it, and the one mechanism we did find can be undone by asking. Do not rely on this operator to hold a line for you.
Independent help exists regardless of what any operator provides: BeGambleAware.org and GamblingTherapy.org offer free, confidential support, and independent multi-operator self-exclusion schemes operate in most regulated markets.
If you believe a licensed operator has failed to honor a self-exclusion request, Anjouan accepts reports through its compliance reporting process. Gambling is for adults aged 18 or over, or the legal age where you live if it is higher.
Who Is 1xBit Best For?
Alternatives
How We Reviewed 1xBit
We read the operator's full terms and conditions, all 28 chapters, and cite clauses by number throughout. On 17 August 2026 we also:
- verified the license directly on the Anjouan regulator's public register, recording entity, number, status, issue and expiry dates and covered domains
- read the regulator's complaint policy, enforcement pages and responsible gaming requirements
- followed our own affiliate link hop by hop to its final destination
- enumerated the site's links to map its publicly accessible responsible gambling provision
- browsed the live lobby to verify providers and count the live dealer tables
- read the public complaint and review record
We have corrected this review where our earlier characterisation of the regulatory framework was wrong. On complaint sourcing: we name each public channel and report what it holds, rather than merging services with different intake and classification methods into a single total.
Complaints and reviews cited here are allegations by the people who made them, unadjudicated by any court or regulator, and we present them as a pattern in the public record rather than as findings of fact against the operator.
We did not open an account, deposit, withdraw or test live chat, so our experience and support scores are provisional and marked as such. Withdrawal limits, the account interior, responsible gambling tools behind login and the mobile apps can only be assessed from inside an account.
Last checked: 17 August 2026. We will re-check the license register in mid-September 2026, when the current license reaches its expiry date, and update this page with the result.
Final Verdict
Strip out the complaint record and 1xBit would still be a mixed proposition: a big, sportsbook-led crypto product with an unusually deep live dealer library and a clean fee structure, sitting on a license that is about to expire and does not name the domain you play on, behind a bonus that requires 40 times your deposit inside a month.
But the complaint record cannot be stripped out, because it is the most consistent thing about this operator. Across complaints services, Trustpilot and public forums, repeated allegations involve refused withdrawals, account closures and funds becoming inaccessible, with several reviewers describing earlier successful play or withdrawals before the dispute. None of it has been adjudicated. What makes it credible rather than coincidental is that the terms permit exactly that treatment, and say the operator need not explain itself.
Add that we could not find the deposit, wager, loss and session-limit controls Anjouan requires as a condition of this operator's license, nor the complaint and ADR route the same regulator makes mandatory, and the picture is complete. The framework exists on paper. We could not find it on the site we inspected.
Our honest recommendation: most players should choose a site with a documented record of paying, and our directory ranks several. If you use 1xBit anyway, for the live dealer library or the sportsbook, then treat it accordingly. Deposit only what you can afford to lose entirely, skip the bonus, meet the 1x turnover, withdraw early and in small amounts, and never let a balance build. The public record carries complaints at more than one stage. They concentrate on the stage that matters most: getting your money back out.
