Last updated: January 22, 2026

What Is an APK File?

APK (Android Package Kit) is the file format used to install apps on Android devices. Since 1xBet isn't available on Google Play in most regions, you need to download and install the APK directly.

Safe when official: APK files from the official 1xBet website are safe and verified. Never download from third-party sites.

Step 1: Enable Unknown Sources

Before installing, allow your device to install apps from outside the Play Store:

Android 8.0 and newer

  1. Open Settings
  2. Go to Apps or Apps & notifications
  3. Tap Special app access (or "Advanced")
  4. Select Install unknown apps
  5. Choose your browser (Chrome, etc.)
  6. Enable Allow from this source

Android 7.0 and older

  1. Open Settings
  2. Go to Security
  3. Find Unknown sources
  4. Toggle it ON
  5. Confirm the warning message

Step 2: Download the APK

  1. Open your browser (Chrome recommended)
  2. Go to the official 1xBet website
  3. Find the Mobile Apps section
  4. Tap Download for Android
  5. Wait for download to complete (~50 MB)
Important: Only download from the official 1xBet website. Third-party APKs may contain malware.

Step 3: Install the APK

  1. Open your Downloads folder or notification panel
  2. Tap the downloaded 1xbet.apk file
  3. If prompted, tap Settings to allow installation
  4. Tap Install
  5. Wait for installation to complete
  6. Tap Open or Done

  • Download source: Only from official 1xBet website
  • File size: Should be ~50-70 MB
  • Package name: com.xbet.app (check in app info)
  • Publisher: 1XCorp N.V.
