Bookmaker review
1xBet review
1xBet scores 4.6/5 in our editorial review, with a trust score of 90/100. Founded 2007.
1xBet is one of the deepest football books available to African bettors. It holds local licences in Kenya, Ghana, Uganda and Tanzania plus Lagos State in Nigeria, and its football prices are among the sharpest in the market: an independent 2026 test measured an average margin of about 1.6%, well below most rivals. Coverage runs from the Premier League and Champions League down to the NPFL, FKF Premier League and CAF competitions, with in-play odds refreshing every few seconds.
Deposits and withdrawals work through M-Pesa, Airtel Money, MTN MoMo, OPay and crypto, and tested mobile-money payouts landed in around 15 minutes. The trade-offs: the sports welcome bonus must be rolled over 5x on accumulators of three or more legs at odds of 1.40+, the interface is crowded, and the brand has lost licences in several European markets, including the UK in 2019. Best for experienced bettors who shop around for the best price.
