Troubleshooting
Location permission granted but still not working
1. Restart the app
2. Toggle location off and on in phone settings
3. Restart your device
4. Revoke and re-grant permission
5. Reinstall app if nothing works
GPS not finding location
1. Go outside or near window (GPS needs sky view)
2. Wait 30-60 seconds for GPS lock
3. Enable WiFi (helps with location)
4. Check if other apps can get location
5. May need to reset location settings
VPN causing location issues
VPNs can make your location appear different. Disable VPN when using 1xBet, or use a server in your actual country.
Location shows wrong country
1. Disable VPN if active
2. Clear app cache
3. Restart device
4. Wait for fresh GPS fix
5. Make sure device time zone is correct
Location Permission Options
| Option | What It Means | Recommended? |
|---|---|---|
| Always | App can access location anytime | ❌ Not needed |
| While Using | Only when app is open | ✅ Recommended |
| Ask Every Time | Prompts each time | 🟡 Optional |
| Never | No location access | ⚠️ May limit features |
"While Using the App" is the best balance between functionality and privacy.
Regional Restrictions
If you see "Service not available in your region":
- 1xBet is restricted in some countries
- Using VPN to access restricted regions violates terms
- Check if service is available in your location
- Contact support for regional availability questions
Reduce Battery Usage
Location services can drain battery. To minimize:
- Use "While Using" not "Always"
- Don't leave app running in background
- Disable precise location if not needed
- Close app when not betting
