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:
- Open the website in Edge
- Click ⋯ (menu) → Apps → "Install this site as an app"
- Click Install in the dialog
- App appears in Start menu and can be pinned to taskbar
Google Chrome:
- Open the website in Chrome
- Click ⋮ (menu) → "Save and share" → "Install page as app"
- Or: click the install icon (⊕) in the address bar
- 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:
- Microsoft Store → search "Amazon Appstore" → Install
- This automatically installs WSA
- Open Amazon Appstore once to complete setup
- To sideload APK: WSA Settings → Developer → Enable Developer mode
- Install ADB, then:
adb connect 127.0.0.1:58526 - 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):
- Download BlueStacks from bluestacks.com
- Run installer → follow prompts (5–10 min)
- Open BlueStacks → it boots Android
- Download APK on Windows
- Drag APK into BlueStacks window or double-click APK
- 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.
