1xBet and Betsson are often shortlisted together. Below we compare them on what decides whether a casino is worth your deposit: safety, bonus terms, payments, games and what players report.
Safety and licensing: 1xBet vs Betsson
Betsson is the safer pick on paper, with a CasinoGuru Safety Index of 8.8/10 against 7.4/10 for 1xBet.
1xBet is licensed by Cura莽ao Gaming Authority, while Betsson holds a license from Malta Gaming Authority and Spelinspektionen. European licenses come with stricter player-protection rules than offshore ones.
CasinoGuru lists 50 player complaints against 1xBet and 12 against Betsson; bigger casinos naturally collect more, so read the number together with the Safety Index.
1xBet has terms rated fair, while Betsson's are rated unfair.
Bonuses and wagering
1xBet offers new players up to 1950 EUR + 150 Free Spins. Betsson offers 100% up to 100 EUR + 50 Free Spins.
Both attach 35x wagering to the first deposit bonus, so neither has an edge on how hard the bonus is to clear.
Payments and payout speed
1xBet lists 34 deposit methods (15 of them crypto) and Betsson lists 16 (0 crypto). 7 methods work at both. They include Visa, MasterCard, Skrill and Neteller.
Only 1xBet takes Perfect Money, Jeton, SticPay and Rapid Transfer. Only Betsson takes Maestro, Paysafecard, Apple Pay and Google Pay. If you already use one of these, that alone may decide it.
Betsson pays crypto and e-wallet withdrawals faster (0-1 hours) than 1xBet (0-24 hours). Card and bank withdrawals take longer at both.
Withdrawal methods and limits
1xBet lists 33 withdrawal methods and 37 currencies. Its stated withdrawal limit is No Limits.
Betsson lists 14 withdrawal methods and 10 currencies. Its stated withdrawal limit is No Limits.
Games and customer support
Betsson offers 24/7 live chat; we could not confirm round-the-clock chat at 1xBet.
Ownership and track record
1xBet is run by Caecus N.V. and has been operating since 2007. Betsson is run by BML Group Ltd. and has been operating since 2003. Betsson has the longer track record, which usually means more complaints handled and more published payout history to judge by.
Responsible gambling tools
1xBet offers 2 of the 10 responsible gambling tools we check (self-exclusion, self-assessment test). Betsson offers 8 of the 10 responsible gambling tools we check (deposit limit, wager limit, loss limit, time limit, self-exclusion, cool-off, reality check, self-assessment test).
Deposit limits and self-exclusion are the two tools worth having before you play anywhere.
What players say
On Trustpilot 1xBet scores 2/5 (8,600 reviews) and Betsson 1.2/5 (215 reviews). Casino reviews skew negative because unhappy players post more, so this counts for only 15% of our CasiScore rating.
1xBet or Betsson: which should you choose?
Overall, Betsson is the stronger casino on our data (3.9/5 against 2.9/5). Choose 1xBet if you want better player reviews, fairer terms and more ways to deposit. Choose Betsson if you want the higher overall rating, a higher safety score and faster payouts. Whichever you pick, set a deposit limit before you play.
Before you sign up at either casino
- Check that 1xBet and Betsson accept players from your country before you register.
- Read the wagering and maximum bet rules of the bonus you plan to claim.
- Make sure your preferred withdrawal method is available, not just the deposit method.
- Have your ID documents ready; both casinos can ask for verification before the first withdrawal.
- Set a deposit limit in your account settings before you start playing.
