Review · Esports bookmaker
1xBet has taken bets since 2007 and is one of the largest offshore sportsbooks. Its Curaçao licence is held by Caecus N.V. In esports it stands out for reach: we rank it on pages for Honor of Kings, Smite and World of Tanks, and on tournaments from IEM and BLAST to the Apex Legends Global Series and the Smite World Championship.
The cashier is the other headline. Our data lists 137 deposit methods and 31 for withdrawals, from cards and Skrill to local bank apps and mobile operators. This review covers CS2 markets, payments, the bonus maths and the trade-offs that come with an offshore giant.
At a glance
So what: licensed by the Curaçao Gaming Authority; protection is lighter than under a UK or EU regulator.
So what: one of the longest-running offshore sportsbooks.
So what: Skrill, Neteller, Visa, Mastercard and Bitcoin are on both lists.
So what: Open in our data: Canada, Australia, India, Germany, Brazil, Nigeria, the Philippines, Kenya, Turkey, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Mexico, South Africa and Japan. Availability is not the same as legality; check your local law.
So what: each page is linked in the esports coverage section below.
Short answer
Yes, if you want range. 1xBet covers niche esports such as Honor of Kings, Smite and World of Tanks that most books skip, and funds accounts in almost any currency. The trade-off is an offshore licence and a crowded site; compare the main CS2 and Dota 2 prices with a second book.

Market guide · CS2 Example odds
Example odds for Team Spirit vs FaZe (BO3) to show what each market means, its implied probability and its margin. Which markets 1xBet opens differs from match to match, so check its own list before you bet.
Who wins the series. In a BO3 the first team to two maps takes it.
| Outcome | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Team Spirit | 1.55 | 64.5% |
| FaZe | 2.40 | 41.7% |
| Sum | 106.2% | |
| Margin | 5.8% |
So what: usually the cheapest CS2 market, so the one to compare between books first.
Team Spirit −1.5 maps must win 2–0. FaZe +1.5 wins if they take at least one map.
| Outcome | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Team Spirit −1.5 | 2.55 | 39.2% |
| FaZe +1.5 | 1.47 | 68.0% |
| Sum | 107.2% | |
| Margin | 6.8% |
So what: turns a short favourite into a longer price, at a higher margin.
Over 2.5 if the series goes to a decider, under if it ends 2–0 either way.
| Outcome | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Over 2.5 | 2.10 | 47.6% |
| Under 2.5 | 1.68 | 59.5% |
| Sum | 107.1% | |
| Margin | 6.7% |
So what: a bet on how close the series is, not on who wins.
Who wins the first map only. In most CS2 vetoes map 1 is one team's pick.
| Outcome | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Team Spirit | 1.65 | 60.6% |
| FaZe | 2.15 | 46.5% |
| Sum | 107.1% | |
| Margin | 6.6% |
So what: map pool strength matters more here than overall form.
Over or under 21.5 rounds. CS2 regulation is 24 rounds (MR12), first to 13; overtime goes over.
| Outcome | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Over 21.5 | 1.85 | 54.1% |
| Under 21.5 | 1.87 | 53.5% |
| Sum | 107.5% | |
| Margin | 7.0% |
So what: a 13–9 or closer map goes over.
Example odds set by esportranker, not live prices. Implied probability = 1 ÷ odds. Margin = 1 − 1 ÷ (sum of implied probabilities).

Bonus maths LiveExample data
The live headline offer for 1xBet is on the card at the top of this page. Its full sports terms were not confirmed for this review, so the worked example uses common terms on a $100 bonus to show what wagering costs at esports margins.
Bonus $100 · 10x turnover · singles at odds 1.80+
Turnover costs the margin on what you bet: 10 × $100 = $1,000, and 5.8% of that is $58.
What it means: wager with singles on match winner, the cheapest esports market; accumulators multiply the margin you pay.
Example terms, not 1xBet's. Read the offer's own T&Cs before you opt in. 18+.
Pros and cons

1xBet ranks on our niche-title pages more than on CS2, Dota 2, LoL or Valorant.
Our take: 1xBet earns its place for coverage of the titles others ignore and for a cashier that works almost anywhere. Use it with a second book for CS2 and Dota 2 match winners, and set a deposit limit before you browse thousands of markets.
