Download 1xBet App for macOS

Mac users have multiple options — and the best one depends on whether you have an Apple Silicon Mac (M1/M2/M3) or Intel Mac. Apple Silicon can run iOS apps directly; Intel Macs need emulators or the web version.

What are my options on macOS?

There's no dedicated macOS app, but several alternatives work well:

Option Works on Pros Cons
iOS app (if available) Apple Silicon only Native performance, no emulator Limited availability, may not work
PWA (web app) Any Mac No install, always updated No notifications, browser-dependent
Mobile website Any Mac Works immediately No app experience
Android emulator Any Mac (better on Intel) Full Android app experience Resource-heavy, complex setup

Recommendation: Try PWA first (easiest). If you need the full app experience on Apple Silicon, try the iOS app. Use an emulator only as a last resort.

How do I check if my Mac has Apple Silicon?

This determines which options are available to you:

  1. Click the Apple menu (top left)
  2. Select "About This Mac"
  3. Look for "Chip" (Apple Silicon) or "Processor" (Intel)
What you see Mac type Best option
Apple M1, M2, M3, etc. Apple Silicon Try iOS app first, then PWA
Intel Core i5, i7, i9 Intel Mac PWA or emulator

How do I add a PWA on macOS?

The PWA (Progressive Web App) works like a native app but runs in your browser. Here's how to add it:

Safari (macOS Sonoma 14+):

  1. Open Safari and go to the official website
  2. Click File → Add to Dock
  3. Name the app and click Add
  4. Find it in your Dock — click to open

Chrome:

  1. Open Chrome and go to the official website
  2. Click the three dots menu (top right)
  3. Select "Save and Share" → "Create shortcut"
  4. Check "Open as window" and click Create

How do I use an Android emulator on Mac?

Emulators simulate an Android device on your Mac. They're resource-intensive but provide the full app experience:

Emulator Apple Silicon Intel Notes
BlueStacks Beta Full support Most popular, easy setup
Android Studio Emulator Native Full support Official, more technical
NoxPlayer Not supported Full support Gaming-focused

Basic emulator setup:

  1. Download emulator from official site
  2. Install the .dmg file (may need to allow in System Preferences → Security)
  3. Launch emulator and complete Android setup
  4. Download APK and drag into emulator window
  5. APK installs automatically — find app in emulator's app drawer

Emulators need 8+ GB RAM and 10+ GB storage. Performance may be poor on older Macs.

What if macOS blocks the download or app?

macOS Gatekeeper may block downloads from non-App Store sources. Here's how to handle common blocks:

Message Cause Solution
"Can't be opened because it's from an unidentified developer" Gatekeeper blocking unsigned app Right-click → Open → Open (bypasses once)
"Damaged and can't be opened" Quarantine flag set Terminal: xattr -cr /path/to/app
Download blocked in browser Browser security Click "Keep" when prompted, or use Safari

Quick reference: macOS setup

Choose your path:

Your Mac Fastest option Time to set up
Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) PWA via Safari → Add to Dock ~1 minute
Intel Mac PWA via Chrome → Create shortcut ~1 minute
Need full app features BlueStacks (Intel) or Android Studio (M1+) ~15 minutes
