1xBet App Not Downloading
Download failures have different causes — a stuck progress bar means something different than "download blocked." Matching your exact symptom to the right fix saves time instead of trying random solutions.

What exactly is happening?
Find your symptom to jump to the right fix:
| Symptom | Most likely cause | Quick fix |
|---|---|---|
| Download button does nothing | JavaScript blocked or popup blocker | Try different browser, disable popup blocker |
| "Download blocked" warning | Browser security flagging APK | Click "Keep" or use different browser |
| Download starts then stops at 0% | ISP or firewall blocking | Try mobile data, change DNS |
| Stuck at random percentage | Connection dropped | Switch network, restart download |
| Very slow (hours remaining) | Bandwidth issue or throttling | See speed fix guide |
| "File not found" or 404 | Wrong URL or server issue | Use official download link below |
Is my browser blocking the download?
Browsers often block APK downloads as a security measure. Here's how to handle it:
| Browser | What you see | How to allow |
|---|---|---|
| Chrome (Android) | "Harmful file" warning | Tap ⋮ → Keep → Keep anyway |
| Chrome (Desktop) | "Blocked - Dangerous" in downloads | Click ⋮ next to file → Keep dangerous file |
| Samsung Internet | Download may be blocked silently | Settings → Privacy → Allow downloads |
| Firefox | Usually allows APK downloads | Try Firefox if Chrome blocks |
| Safari (iOS) | Can't download APK (wrong platform) | Use iOS installation method instead |
Chrome's warning doesn't mean the file is actually dangerous — it flags all APK files. Always verify the source is official before keeping the file.
Is my ISP or network blocking the download?
Some ISPs and corporate networks block gambling-related downloads. Signs this is happening:
- Download works on mobile data but not Wi-Fi (or vice versa)
- Download starts but immediately fails or shows 0 bytes
- Works at home but not at work/school
Solutions:
| Solution | How to do it | Why it works |
|---|---|---|
| Switch network | Try mobile data instead of Wi-Fi | Different network, different rules |
| Change DNS | Use 8.8.8.8 (Google) or 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare) | Bypasses DNS-level blocks |
| Use VPN | Connect to VPN before downloading | Encrypts traffic, bypasses filters |
| Download elsewhere | Download on unrestricted network, transfer via USB | Avoids the blocking network entirely |
Is antivirus or firewall blocking the download?
Security software sometimes flags APK downloads. Check these:
- Windows Defender: Check Windows Security → Virus & threat protection → Protection history
- Third-party antivirus: Check quarantine/blocked files section
- Corporate firewall: May require IT approval
If antivirus blocked the file: Verify you're downloading from the official source, then add an exception. Don't disable antivirus entirely.
How do I clear browser data and retry?
Corrupted cache can cause download failures. Clear it and try again:
Chrome (Android):
- ⋮ Menu → Settings → Privacy and security
- Clear browsing data → select "Cached images and files"
- Tap Clear data → retry download
Chrome (Desktop):
- ⋮ Menu → Settings → Privacy and security
- Clear browsing data → select "Cached images and files"
- Click Clear data → retry download
Safari:
- Settings → Safari → Clear History and Website Data
