Head-to-head
1xBet vs Betway
1xBet and Betway operate in the same verticals (casino, sportsbook, poker), so most of what follows is a like-for-like comparison.
Everything below is taken from each operator's published record — licence registers, banking pages, bonus terms and responsible-gambling pages. We do not open accounts or play, so nothing here is a claim about hands-on experience.
Licensing — and the numbers to check it with
A licence number is the one claim on this page you do not have to take our word for: look it up in the regulator's own public register.
1xBet
Curacao eGaming
- Licence number:
- 1668/JAZ
- Jurisdiction:
- Curaçao
Betway
Malta Gaming Authority Strict regime
- Licence number:
- MGA/B2C/130/2006
- Jurisdiction:
- Malta
UK Gambling Commission Strict regime
- Licence number:
- 39372
- Jurisdiction:
- United Kingdom
Betway answers to at least one of the stricter regulators — the regimes that require segregated player funds and binding dispute resolution — while 1xBet's licensing is lighter-touch.

Responsible Gambling →Welcome bonus terms
The headline amount is marketing. These are the terms that decide what it is actually worth.
| Term | 1xBet | Betway |

| Headline offer | 100% up to €130 | 100% up to £30 |
| Wagering | x35 | x50 |
| Max bet while active | $5 | £5 |
| Max cashout | No limit | No limit |
| Time to clear | 7 days | 7 days |
| Min. deposit | $10 | £10 |
| Free spins | 30 free spins | Not disclosed |
- 1xBet asks the lower playthrough — x35 against x50 at Betway — so the bonus turns into withdrawable money on far less turnover.
