Football betting made simple in Nigeria

The 1xbet app gives a clean, mobile-first way to bet on football. You get in-play stats, fast markets, push alerts, and quick cash out. The app is available on Android and iOS, and it supports phones and tablets.

How to install

• Android: download the APK from the official website. Allow installs from trusted sources, then follow on-screen steps.
• iOS: get it from the App Store if available in your region, or use the mobile website.

Your first bet in the app

• Sign in to 1xbet, tap Football, pick a league, and open a match page. Select a market, add it to your slip, enter a stake in naira, and confirm. Watch the live tracker and manage cash out when available.

New users can claim a 300% First Deposit Bonus up to ₦145,600 for football. This bonus is designed to help you explore markets before using only your cash balance.

Activation

• Opt in on the registration or deposit page. Enter any promo code shown there, if available. Make a first deposit from ₦400.

Payment methods

• Eligible methods include bank cards, bank transfer, USSD, and popular wallets like OPay and PalmPay.
• Some methods may be excluded, including crypto payments.

Coverage

• The bonus balance can be used on pre-match and live football markets. It covers major leagues and tournaments such as the Nigeria Premier Football League, Premier League, UEFA Champions League, and more, unless a match is listed as excluded.

Wagering and time limits

• Wager 5x the bonus amount on accumulator bets. Each accumulator must have 3 or more selections, and each selection must be at odds of 1.40 or higher. You have 30 days to meet the requirement. Cash out, voided bets, and system bets do not count toward wagering.

Rules and restrictions

• Available once per user, device, and household. Not combinable with other welcome offers. KYC verification and age 18+ are required. Terms can change, so check the promo page before you deposit.

Nigerian bettors follow a broad mix of local and global football. You can bet on the Nigeria Premier Football League and the Nigeria Federation Cup. Continental action like the CAF Champions League and CAF Confederation Cup also draws strong interest, along with AFCON and its qualifiers.

International tournaments are always in demand. The FIFA World Cup is the headline event every four years. In Europe, the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League offer weekly elite fixtures. South American nights in the Copa Libertadores also present high-intensity matches for late kick-offs.

Domestic leagues create steady betting across the season. The Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1 provide deep markets and player props. All these events are available on 1xbet, from match winners to detailed stats like corners, cards, shots on target, and assists.

You can build singles, accumulators, or bet during live play. Markets adapt to match context, so odds reflect form, injuries, and motivation. That gives you choice on both safe picks and higher-risk selections.

On 1xbet you will find a wide range of football betting options that fit different styles.

Core markets

• Match Result (1X2): home win, draw, or away win.
• Double Chance: cover two outcomes in one pick.
• Over/Under: goals totals like Over 2.5 or Under 2.5.
• Both Teams To Score: yes or no.
• Handicaps: Asian Handicap and European Handicap adjust the goal line to balance teams.

Advanced and player markets

• Correct Score: predict the exact full-time score.
• First or Last Goal: pick the team to score first or last.
• Half-Time/Full-Time: combine results across halves and full-time.
• Goal Scorers: anytime, first, or last scorer, plus braces or hat-tricks when available.
• Corners and Cards: totals, handicaps, and team-specific lines.

Combos and specials

• Win + BTTS, Result + Total Goals, or Player to score + Team to win combine outcomes for higher potential returns.
• Live betting adds next goal, next corner, and short-term intervals such as goals in the next 10 minutes.

Odds and features

• Decimal odds are standard. Cash out may appear on selected markets. Check the bet slip for availability before you confirm.

• Study recent form: look at the last 5 to 10 matches, expected goals (xG), and chances created. Form trends give better guidance than one big result.
• Track team news: suspensions, travel fatigue, and late fitness tests can change a match plan. Follow credible local sources on matchday.
• Check head-to-head: styles of play matter. Some teams struggle against low blocks or high press. Use past meetings to spot patterns.
• Assess motivation: title races, relegation fights, or rotation before a cup game affect intensity and lineups.
• Consider venue: home advantage, pitch quality, and climate. In Africa and South America, travel and altitude can be decisive.
• Read coaches’ tactics: shape changes and in-game adjustments impact totals and BTTS.
• Manage your bankroll: set a fixed staking plan. Bet 1-3% of your bankroll per pick to limit swings.
• Avoid chasing losses: write a stop-loss for the day. Take a break after a bad run.
• Shop odds and markets: small price differences add up over a season. Compare similar markets like Asian lines vs European handicaps.
• Use cash out sparingly: calculate expected value before closing a bet early.
• Keep records: track bets, odds, stakes, and reasons. Review weekly to improve decisions.
• Set app alerts: line-up and odds change notifications help you react on time.
