Download 1xBet App for Windows

There's no native Windows app — betting apps are built for mobile. But Windows offers several ways to run the service: PWA (1 minute setup), Windows Subsystem for Android on Windows 11, or a traditional emulator. Your Windows version determines which options are available.

Which method works for my Windows version?

Method Windows 10 Windows 11 Setup time Best for
Mobile website ✅ Yes ✅ Yes 0 min Quick access, no install
PWA (Edge/Chrome) ✅ Yes ✅ Yes 1 min Daily use, desktop shortcut
WSA (built-in) ❌ No ✅ Yes 15–30 min Native Android experience
BlueStacks/LDPlayer ✅ Yes ✅ Yes 20–40 min Full Android features

Recommendation: Start with PWA — it works on both Windows 10 and 11, requires no special setup, and covers most use cases.

How do I set up PWA on Windows?

PWA (Progressive Web App) runs in its own window with a taskbar icon:

Microsoft Edge:

  1. Open the website in Edge
  2. Click ⋯ (menu) → Apps → "Install this site as an app"
  3. Click Install in the dialog
  4. App appears in Start menu and can be pinned to taskbar

Google Chrome:

  1. Open the website in Chrome
  2. Click ⋮ (menu) → "Save and share" → "Install page as app"
  3. Or: click the install icon (⊕) in the address bar
  4. App appears in Start menu

PWA updates automatically when you open it. No manual updates needed.

How do I use WSA on Windows 11?

Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA) runs Android apps natively:

Requirements:

  • Windows 11 (22H2 or later)
  • 8 GB RAM minimum (16 GB recommended)
  • SSD storage
  • Virtualization enabled in BIOS (Intel VT-x or AMD-V)

Setup steps:

  1. Microsoft Store → search "Amazon Appstore" → Install
  2. This automatically installs WSA
  3. Open Amazon Appstore once to complete setup
  4. To sideload APK: WSA Settings → Developer → Enable Developer mode
  5. Install ADB, then: adb connect 127.0.0.1:58526
  6. Install APK: adb install app.apk

Note: Microsoft is deprecating WSA in 2025. For long-term use, consider PWA or BlueStacks instead.

How do I set up an emulator on Windows?

Emulators work on both Windows 10 and 11:

Emulator Min RAM Pros Cons
BlueStacks 5 4 GB Easy setup, stable Ads in free version
LDPlayer 4 GB Good performance Gaming-focused UI
NoxPlayer 4 GB Root access Slower updates

Setup steps (BlueStacks example):

  1. Download BlueStacks from bluestacks.com
  2. Run installer → follow prompts (5–10 min)
  3. Open BlueStacks → it boots Android
  4. Download APK on Windows
  5. Drag APK into BlueStacks window or double-click APK
  6. App installs and appears in BlueStacks home

Requirement: Enable virtualization in BIOS (Intel VT-x or AMD-V) — emulators won't run without it.

Common Windows problems

Problem Cause Fix
Emulator won't start Virtualization disabled Enable VT-x/AMD-V in BIOS
Very slow emulator Not enough RAM Close other apps; need 4+ GB free
Windows Defender blocks APK Unknown file source Click "More info" → "Run anyway"
WSA not available Windows 10 or wrong region Use emulator instead
PWA won't install Site not HTTPS Use official site with HTTPS

Quick reference: Windows decision flow

Question If YES If not
Just need basic access? → Use PWA (1 min setup) Continue ↓
Windows 11 with 8+ GB RAM? → Try WSA first → Use BlueStacks
Virtualization enabled in BIOS? → Emulator will work → PWA or enable VT-x

Summary: PWA covers 90% of use cases. Only set up an emulator if you specifically need Android-only features.
