The 1xBet mobile app puts the full platform in your pocket: the sportsbook, live betting, casino, cashier and support all work from one icon. In 2026 the app is also the most reliable way to reach the platform in regions where web domains get blocked, because the app connects through its own channels. Here is how to install it safely on Android and iOS.
Why the app beats the browser for many bettors
Three practical reasons stand out. The app loads markets faster on a mobile connection, which matters when live odds move by the second. It keeps you logged in securely with biometric unlock, so there is no password typing on a crowded train. And it sends push notifications for settled bets and match events, so you do not have to keep a tab open.
That said, the mobile site is a full-featured alternative that needs no installation. Our app vs mobile site comparison breaks down which format suits which bettor.
How to download the 1xBet app on Android
Google Play does not carry real-money betting apps in many countries, so Android installation goes through the official APK file. Follow these steps:
- Open the official 1xBet website in your mobile browser and find the Mobile Applications section.
- Tap the Android download button to get the APK file.
- When prompted, allow installation from unknown sources in your device's security settings — this is a standard Android step for any app installed outside Google Play.
- Open the downloaded file and confirm the installation.
- Launch the app and log in with your existing account, or register directly inside the app.
Download the APK only from the official site or a verified mirror. Third-party "modded" APK files from forums are a classic malware delivery channel.
How to download the 1xBet app on iOS
iPhone and iPad users install the app through the App Store. Open the App Store, search for the official 1xBet application and tap Get. In some regions the app is listed under a regional App Store; if it does not appear in search, the official website's mobile section explains the current installation route for your country, including the official profile-based alternative where applicable.
After installation, log in with your existing credentials. Face ID or Touch ID can then replace the password for everyday access.
System requirements and first setup
| Item | Android | iOS |
|---|---|---|
| Source | Official APK from the site | App Store |
| Typical size | Around 80–100 MB installed | Around 150–250 MB installed |
| Connection | Stable 3G or better; Wi-Fi for live streaming | Stable 3G or better; Wi-Fi for live streaming |
| Login options | Password, fingerprint | Password, Face ID, Touch ID |
| Updates | In-app prompt or fresh APK | Automatic via App Store |
After the first launch, spend two minutes in the settings: enable biometric login, set your odds format and switch on notifications for bet settlements. These three toggles define the everyday experience.
What you can do inside the app
Everything the desktop site offers is here: pre-match and live markets across all sports, the bet slip with singles and accumulators, cash out where offered, the full casino and live dealer lobby, deposits and withdrawals through the same payment options, and live chat support. Live streams of selected events run inside the app for logged-in users with a positive balance.
Keeping the app safe and up to date
Update the app whenever it prompts you — updates patch security issues and keep the connection working when old domains rotate. Never install APK files sent through messengers, even by friends. And protect the account itself with two-factor authentication in the security settings; if the phone is lost, your balance stays behind the second factor and the account password.
Betting is entertainment for adults only. Set a budget before you play, never bet money you cannot afford to lose, and never chase losses. If gambling stops being fun, use deposit limits, take a break or self-exclude, and talk to a support service such as GamCare or Gambling Therapy. Read our full responsible gambling guide.
