If we talk about 1xBet, we must inevitably mention its deep connection with the land and culture of Somalia. This online betting and casino operator aims to offer Somali users a different experience by providing specific regional markets according to the region of registration. Undoubtedly, it is an original option that differs from typical offerings.

Founded in 2007 by 1xGroup, 1xBet has pleasantly surprised us with its casino, roulette, and slot sections, which we will cover next.

As for the sports section, what stands out here is the live-streaming offer (something that very few bookmakers offer) as well as the option to bet on esports.

Sports betting features at 1xBet

The sports betting options at 1xBet Somalia are comparable to those offered by other Somali bookmakers. They include the ability to place single, multiple, and system bets, as well as betting before or during live events.

As for the variety of sports, 1xBet offers 22. They range from the most well-known ones such as football, basketball, Formula 1, and tennis, to new ones gaining popularity such as surfing or cyber sports. The live betting section offers a wide range of events, some of which are streamed live.

1xBet offers the following sports:

• Football
• Basketball
• Tennis
• Cycling
• Motorsport
• Volleyball
• Handball
• Hockey
• Baseball
• Boxing
• American football
• Futsal
• Rugby
• Surfing
• Snooker
• Darts
• Water Polo
• Table Tennis
• Winter sports

Football Betting

At 1xBet, football is very well represented, with all matches available for betting, and in fact, there are over 70 betting options for each event.

The major European football leagues are represented, including the Bundesliga, Premier League, Ligue 1, Serie A, and of course La Liga. They can be found in the betting markets for Champions League and Europa League matches, as well as their local tournaments.

If you are a fan of Latin America, you have alternative odds options for Brazil's Liga MX, Ecuador's Serie A, and Argentina's Primera División.

Sports betting odds

The odds at 1xBet are typically 5% higher than other global markets. Initially, this bookmaker focused more on secondary disciplines and events. However, over time, they focused on other markets, offering more competitive odds to gain more popularity among users.

We know whether the odds are competitive or not when the odds offered by the operator match the actual possibilities of the outcome of the bet.

To further analyze the 1xBet odds, we use a scale in which the scores are classified according to the size of the profit:

• 1 to 5 - Good odds
• 5 to 7 - Normal odds
• From 7 to 10 - bad odds

We analyzed the top markets of football, NBA, tennis, and esports and got the following results:

• Top football: Average margins Good margins (4)
• NBA: Average Margin Normal (6.9)
• NFL: Average Margin Bad (8.16)
• Esports: Average margin is bad (10.1)

In summary, we can see that 1xBet stands out mainly in the top football market. If you want to bet on the major US markets, carefully examine all the options offered by the online betting network, unless you want to start with unfavorable terms. The esports market seems bloated, but it is on par with other competitors.

Live betting

Due to its nature and the fact that 1xBet offers different options depending on your region, it's not exactly homogeneous in its betting offering. What do we mean by that? Depending on the region you choose, you can find different events in both the women's category and regional football.

To get to the live section, simply click on the banner labeled “LIVE”, which can be found either at the top center of the main screen or at the top of the left menu (in the latter case it is highlighted in orange).

Once you're in the LIVE section, you'll see the various events that are currently taking place at 1xBet on the center screen. Select the event you want to bet on and check the right side of the screen.

1xBet offers us a very interactive and flexible section to keep track of all the details of our events in real-time. Although it is not the best on the market, its quality is quite high and it is worth analyzing in more detail.

At the top of the right-hand section, you will see a section called “View Live Images” which will take you to live streaming of those events where it is available. For more information, see the “Live Broadcast” section.

Just below you will see a horizontal timeline with all the events (cards, goals, changes, sets, games...) of the event from start to finish.

Next, you will see a small screen, at the bottom of which you can select icons for:

• Field: shows a virtual field (football field, basketball field, tennis court...) that constantly displays the position of the ball and its description (dangerous attack, missed free kick, won set...).
• Statistics: shows the statistics of the game events at the moment (shots on goal, goals scored, penalties...).
• Head-to-Head: what is the match history between these two teams? Find out here.
• Standings: the position in the table, bracket, playoffs... of each team or player.
• Vertical timeline (microphone icon): view all the events that have happened in the match up to this point.

Otherwise, bet live on the same predictions available in prematch. In some leading markets, 1xBet offers up to 70 different betting options. Cool!

Live Streams

One of the main advantages of 1xBet and its strong point compared to other bookmakers is live streaming. With this option, you can watch matches and games while betting at the same time.

To watch it, go to the right side of the screen and click on “view live streaming” at the top. In strict Live streaming, you can enjoy a variety of events such as basketball, tennis, and hockey. Just register, log in, and let the fun begin!

Of course, this option is available in both the web version and the mobile app, giving you more tools when betting.

Many bookmakers do not provide a streaming service with live streaming in high definition. Therefore, 1xBet has an advantage over other market alternatives in this regard.

1xBet Esports betting

1xBet wants to hook us on its portal. We say this not only because of its extensive casino and sports offerings but also because it is one of the few Somali operators offering esports betting in 2024.

Yes, while you're reading, you can bet on your favorite Counter-Strike team from 1xBet! And this list is not short at all.

True, they only offer Counter-Strike: Global Offensive for now, but we are sure that they will gradually expand their range. In the meantime, for starters, you can bet on the following CS teams:

• Outsiders
• Liquid
• Faze
• G2 Esports
• Heroic
• OG
• Natus Vincere
• Team Vitality

In addition, you can bet not only on the winner but also on the number of cards and handicaps.

You'll find the Esports market in the “Sports” section, in the menu on the left side of the screen.

If you are a passionate gamer, place your bet, enter the amount in the box, and good luck, because.... is your chance!

1xBet app and mobile website

1xBet has its mobile app, focused mainly on allowing us to scan betting codes and use all the betting and casino sections offered by the web version. Although the app itself warns that some features may differ, we didn't notice any particular differences between the app and the web version. Shall we give you a tour? Ready?

In the top right corner of the screen, you'll see the following:

• Slip icon: shows what bets you have open. Go here to enter the amount and close the bet.

1xBet Casino

1xBet does not disappoint in this aspect and offers us a wide range of casino games to enjoy our gambling universe as if we were in a real casino.

On the top left of the screen, you can get to the Casino section by clicking on the Casino or Slots buttons. Just below that you will see orange buttons for “Roulette”, “Blackjack”, “Mobile Version”, “Slots” and “Promotions”.

Slot Games

Select “Slots” from the menu we just pointed out and get ready for limitless fun. The slots offer is simply dizzying, so it will take you a few days to figure it all out. But what are slots? For those of you who are new to casino gaming, I ask: Do you remember the typical slot machines at the bar? Well, slot machines are the virtual slot machines of the 21st century. Go to your slot, choose your bet, time, notification limits, and elimination option... and start spinning the reels!

Live dealer games

From the Roulette section, you can enter the whole ocean of roulette games offered by 1xBet. It seems that this establishment has set itself the goal of chaining us to our devices for a few hours of endless excitement. Why do we think so? Because we see that it offers up to ten live roulette games at the same time! We think that's awesome. And when we say live, we mean real roulette, with a real ball, with a real flesh-and-blood croupier who will comment on the possible game options and start the ball. You can also interact with other players and, why not? Compete with each other to see who will make the game of the century. What's more, some of them are labeled as “Mobile” so you can enjoy the best experience from your device. Unbelievable!

Table Games

In this section, we'll show you the rest of the casino games that 1xBet has categorized in several sections, but which don't correspond to real roulette or slots. What do we mean by that?

Well, to the automated roulette games that you'll find in the Roulette section and in the Blackjack games section (multi-handed, spins, classic...) If you're not ready to go full out against other players, practice in this section, which also has a “demo” version so you can play with fake money.

As you can see, 1xBet has thought of all types of players, and we are very grateful for that. So, how about a game?
