1xBet is one of the oldest names in online betting, active since 2007, and its casino side is reviewed very differently depending on who you ask. CasinoGuru rates it 7.4, Above average. AskGamblers gives it 2.9 out of 10. That split is worth keeping in mind while you weigh the welcome package, which the offer listing advertises at up to 1,950 EUR plus 150 free spins. The breakdown we could verify is a four-deposit ladder totalling 1,500 EUR, with match rates that drop from 100% to 25%. The question this page answers is a practical one: how much of your own money does each step really need before you see the full amount?
1,950 EUR advertised, 1,500 EUR traceable
AskGamblers and CasinoGuru both list the same four casino steps for 1xBet. Their caps are 300, 350, 400 and 450 EUR, with 30, 35, 40 and 45 spins. That totals 1,500 EUR and 150 spins. We found nothing that explains the extra 450 EUR in the 1,950 EUR headline; it may come from a regional version or a separate promotion. Plan around 1,500 EUR, and treat anything more as a pleasant surprise if the cashier shows it.
The deposit you need to hit each cap
Because the percentage falls at every step, the cash required to reach each ceiling climbs steeply. This is the part most summaries leave out.
- Step one, 100% match: deposit 300 EUR to get the full 300 EUR.
- Step two, 50% match: deposit 700 EUR to get 350 EUR.
- Step three, 25% match: deposit 1,600 EUR to get 400 EUR.
- Step four, 25% match: deposit 1,800 EUR to get 450 EUR.
- Total: 4,400 EUR of deposits for 1,500 EUR of bonus, roughly 34 cents per euro.
Rollover across the whole ladder
The rollover is 35x and applies to the bonus alone. Claimed in full, the 1,500 EUR bonus needs 52,500 EUR of bets. Step one on its own needs 10,500 EUR; the last step 15,750 EUR.
Minimum deposits are 10 EUR for step one and 15 EUR afterwards. A cautious route, 10 EUR then 15 EUR three times, earns 10 + 7.50 + 3.75 + 3.75 = 25 EUR of bonus with 875 EUR to wager, plus the 150 spins. That route costs 55 EUR and gives you a cheap look at the casino. In our view it is the more sensible way to try 1xBet, given what follows.
Why AskGamblers scores 1xBet at 2.9
AskGamblers' full reasoning is not available to us, but CasinoGuru's list of drawbacks points the same way: an extremely long and confusing verification process, terms not fully translated, and many unresolved complaints. CasinoGuru has 50 complaints logged in its latest record. Trustpilot lists 8,600 reviews.
Verification is the friction point bonus players hit first, because a win on bonus money usually triggers a document check. Players who submit ID, proof of address and payment proof at the start tend to have fewer delays later. Support is offered in English only, even though the site runs in 55 languages, so be ready to explain problems in English.
Pending times and payout speeds
1xBet's pending window is 24 to 48 hours, longer than many casinos we track. After that, e-wallets such as Skrill, Neteller or Jeton take up to 24 hours, bank transfers 3 to 5 days, and cards 3 to 7 days. There is no stated cap per transaction. Brazilian players have local options such as Pix and major bank transfers, and crypto is widely supported.
Withdraw to the same method you deposited with where possible. Switching methods is a common reason for an extra review.
Put the timeline together and a bonus win can take a while to reach you. Clearing a 10,500 EUR rollover at moderate stakes takes days of play; then add up to 48 hours pending, possible document requests, and up to a week for a card payout. If you need the money by a certain date, a bonus is the wrong tool. Playing with cash only keeps the route from deposit to withdrawal much shorter.
Limits you will have to set yourself
The listing shows only two responsible gambling tools at 1xBet: self-exclusion and a self-assessment test. There are no deposit, loss or time limits listed. If you claim a four-step package, write down a total budget before step one and stick to it, or set a gambling spending limit through your bank. 1xBet is operated by Caecus N.V. under Curacao licence OGL/2024/1262/0493.
It also helps to decide in advance where you will stop on the ladder. The first step returns a euro of bonus for every euro deposited; by the third, that drops to 25 cents. Many players find that stopping after step one or two gives most of the value with far less money at risk.
Myths vs facts
- Myth: Each 25% step is worth claiming in full.
- Fact: Reaching the 400 EUR or 450 EUR cap requires depositing four times that amount.
- Myth: A long-running brand must have smooth payouts.
- Fact: 1xBet has operated since 2007 yet still draws complaints about verification and unresolved cases.
