Official 1xBet App Download
Fake download sites can look almost identical to official ones — same colors, logo, and layout. The difference is in the URL and file. A modified APK from a fake site can steal your login credentials or inject ads. Knowing exactly what to check before you click protects your device and account.

How do I verify the URL is legitimate?
Check these URL indicators before clicking download:
| Check | Official | Fake (examples) |
|---|---|---|
| Protocol | HTTPS with padlock | HTTP or broken certificate |
| Domain spelling | Exact spelling: 1xbet | 1xbеt (Cyrillic 'е'), 1xbet-app-download, 1xbett |
| TLD | Known TLDs (.com, regional) | .download, .xyz, .top, .club |
| Subdomains | Clean subdomain structure | download.1xbet.fakesite.com |
Typosquatting — fake domains with slight spelling changes — is the most common trick. Always type the URL manually or use a saved bookmark instead of clicking links from messages or ads.
What red flags indicate a fake download site?
Fake sites use urgency, fake reviews, and suspicious extras to trick users. Watch for these warning signs:
| Red flag | What it looks like | Why it's dangerous |
|---|---|---|
| Countdown timers | "Download expires in 5:00" | Creates fake urgency to prevent careful checking |
| Multiple download buttons | Several "DOWNLOAD" buttons, different sizes | Real button may be hidden; fake buttons lead to malware |
| Fake comments/reviews | "Downloaded yesterday, works great! -John123" | Creates false trust; real apps don't need fake reviews |
| Pre-checked extras | ☑️ "Install recommended software" | Bundles unwanted or malicious software |
| Pop-ups before download | "Your device is infected!" warnings | Scare tactic to make you install fake "antivirus" |
| Redirect chains | Page jumps through multiple URLs before download | Hides real source; affiliate fraud or malware injection |
Where can I get the official app?
Legitimate sources ranked by verification ease:
| Source | Availability | Verification |
|---|---|---|
| App Store (iOS) | Region-dependent | Apple reviews all apps |
| Google Play (Android) | Region-dependent | Google Play Protect scans |
| Official website APK | Always available | Manual verification needed |
If the app is available in your region's app store, use the store — it handles signature verification automatically. If downloading APK directly, verify the file manually before installing.
How do I verify the downloaded file?
After downloading, verify the file before installing:
- Check file size — Compare with official size (visible on download page). Significant mismatch = delete and re-download.
-
Verify checksum — If official checksum is
published, compare it:
- Windows:
certutil -hashfile filename.apk SHA256 - macOS/Linux:
shasum -a 256 filename.apk
- Windows:
-
Check APK signature — Use
apksigner verify --print-certs filename.apkand compare certificate fingerprint with published value. - Scan with antivirus — Upload to VirusTotal.com before installing, or use your device's built-in scanner.
What permissions should the official app request?
The official app needs only permissions related to its function:
- Expected: Internet, storage (for cache), camera (for document upload), notifications
- Suspicious if requested: SMS read/send, call logs, contacts, device admin, root access
If an APK requests permissions not listed above — especially SMS or device admin — it may be a modified version. Delete it and download from the official source.
Quick reference: official download checklist
- URL starts with HTTPS and shows a padlock — leave the site if not.
- Domain spelled correctly, no extra characters — leave if mismatched.
- Only one download button, no countdown timer — leave if suspicious.
- File size matches official — delete and re-download if not.
- No suspicious permissions requested — delete if permissions look abnormal.
- Signature/checksum matches (if verifying) — delete if mismatch.
