Why 1xBet Needs Location

  • Security: Fraud prevention
Note: Location permission is optional for basic features but may be required for certain services.

VPN causing location issues

VPNs can make your location appear different. Disable VPN when using 1xBet, or use a server in your actual country.

2. Clear app cache
3. Restart device
4. Wait for fresh GPS fix

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
Important: Attempting to bypass regional restrictions may result in account suspension.

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
