The 1xBet Welcome Bonus: What You Get
Your first deposit at 1xBet Australia unlocks a welcome bonus that adds bonus funds to your account, usable across the sportsbook and the pokies library. The bonus is a deposit-match promotion: the more you deposit within the qualifying window, the larger the bonus credit you're offered, up to the ceiling shown on the promotions page at the time you sign up.
Because promotional terms are refreshed periodically, the exact match percentage, the maximum bonus amount and the current wagering multiplier are always displayed on the promotions page and again at the deposit screen before you confirm. Read them there before you commit funds. T&Cs apply and the offer is subject to change.
Sportsbook and casino portions
The welcome credit can be directed toward pre-match and live sports betting across football, cricket, tennis, AFL-adjacent markets and esports, or toward the casino float covering pokies, table games and live dealer tables. Your account dashboard shows which portion your active bonus applies to.
Crash games such as Aviator sit inside the casino library, so if your welcome bonus is casino-facing you'll generally find Aviator listed among the eligible titles once you check the current game list on the promotions page.
Who can claim the welcome bonus
The welcome bonus is reserved for new customers registering their first 1xBet account. One account is permitted per person, per household and per payment method, which is standard practice across the industry and is checked during verification. You need to be 18 years of age or older to register an account or claim any bonus, and you'll be asked to confirm your date of birth during sign-up. If you already hold a 1xBet account, the welcome offer will not apply to a second registration; instead, keep an eye on the promotions page for reload offers, free bet credits and casino cashback deals that run for existing customers.
How to Claim the Welcome Bonus: Step by Step
Claiming the bonus is straightforward, but the sequence matters. Bonus eligibility is generally tied to ticking the right box before your first deposit lands, so it pays to follow the order below rather than depositing first and asking questions later.
- Register your account. Provide your name, email or mobile number, and set a password. Choose AUD as your account currency at this stage, since currency cannot always be changed later.
- Opt in to the welcome offer. During registration or on the promotions page, select the welcome bonus (sportsbook or casino version, if separated) before you fund your account. Some sign-up flows include a promo code field: check the current promotions page for whether one is required at the time you join.
- Make your qualifying deposit. Use a supported payment method and deposit at least the minimum amount shown on the deposit screen. The bonus percentage and cap that apply to your deposit are confirmed at this exact screen before you hit confirm.
- Check your bonus balance. Once the deposit clears, the bonus amount appears separately from your real-money balance in your account dashboard, along with the wagering requirement attached to it.
- Wager through the requirement. Place qualifying bets or pokies spins until you've met the turnover multiplier shown against your bonus. Only then does the bonus amount (or winnings derived from it) become eligible for withdrawal.
Understanding Wagering Requirements
A wagering requirement (sometimes called a rollover or turnover requirement) is the number of times you need to bet the bonus amount before you can withdraw it or the winnings it generates. If your bonus carries, for example, a multiplier of 5x, you would need to wager five times the bonus value before that money unlocks for cash-out. The precise multiplier that applies to your bonus is stated on the promotions page and at the deposit confirmation screen, and it can differ between the sportsbook offer and the casino offer.
Two details are worth checking before you start wagering:
| Condition | What to check |
|---|---|
| Which bets count | Sportsbook wagering usually requires a minimum odds threshold per selection; casino wagering sets which pokies contribute at 100% and which contribute at a reduced rate |
| Expiry window | Bonus funds and free bets carry a countdown; unused bonus funds are forfeited if the wagering requirement isn't cleared before the expiry date shown in your account |

Deposit Methods That Qualify
Your welcome bonus is triggered by a qualifying deposit, so it helps to know which payment rails are available before you fund your account. 1xBet Australia supports a wide spread of payment types, letting you choose whichever suits your banking setup:
| Payment type | Examples |
|---|---|
| Cards | Visa, Mastercard |
| E-wallets | A range of e-wallet options available at the cashier |
| Bank transfer | Direct bank transfer to your linked account |
| Cryptocurrency | Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, Litecoin and more |
The specific minimum deposit for each method, and any processing fee, is displayed on the cashier page once you select the option, since these can differ by payment channel. Cryptocurrency deposits are worth considering if you want fast processing and don't need to route funds through a bank statement.
Casino-Specific Bonus Terms Worth Knowing
If you direct your welcome bonus toward the casino, a few extra conditions typically apply on top of the general wagering rules:
| Term | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Game weighting | Progressive jackpot slots and certain table games are commonly excluded or weighted at a lower percentage toward wagering; check the bonus terms tab for the current list |
| Maximum bet while wagering | Bonus terms cap the size of a single bet you can place while a bonus is active; exceeding that cap can void the bonus |
| Aviator and crash games | Sit in the casino section and are popular for fast round times; confirm on the promotions page whether they count toward your specific bonus wagering, as weighting can differ from traditional pokies |
Verifying Your Account Before Withdrawal
Before any withdrawal, including winnings generated from your welcome bonus, you'll need to complete identity verification (KYC). This is standard practice and protects your account as much as it protects the platform. The documents requested are:
| Document | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Government-issued photo ID | Driver's licence or passport, confirms your identity and age |
| Proof of address | A recent utility bill or bank statement, confirms your residential address |
| Proof of payment method ownership | A photo of the card used, or a screenshot confirming the e-wallet or crypto address belongs to you |
Submitting these documents as soon as you register, rather than waiting until your first withdrawal request, keeps your first cash-out moving without delay. Document requirements are confirmed in your account's verification tab.
Reload Offers and Ongoing Promotions
The welcome bonus is a one-time offer for new customers, but it's not the only promotion running. Once your account is active, check the promotions page regularly for reload bonuses on subsequent deposits, free bet credits tied to major sporting fixtures, and casino-specific offers such as free spins on featured pokies or cashback on net losses over a set period. These offers rotate, so the terms, minimum deposit and wagering multiplier attached to each one are listed individually on the promotions page at the time they run.
Common Questions About the Welcome Bonus
Can I withdraw the bonus amount directly
No. Bonus funds themselves are not withdrawable. You need to clear the attached wagering requirement first, after which any resulting real-money winnings become withdrawable, subject to the standard verification process.
What happens if I don't meet the wagering requirement in time
If the wagering requirement isn't completed before the bonus expiry date shown in your account, the remaining bonus balance and any bonus-generated winnings tied to it are forfeited, and your account reverts to your real-money balance only.
Can I cancel the welcome bonus
Yes. Most accounts include an option to opt out of an active bonus from the promotions or bonus tab. Cancelling typically forfeits the bonus balance and any wagering progress made against it, so it's worth doing only if the bonus terms no longer suit your play style.
Does the welcome bonus apply to both sports betting and pokies
It depends on the version of the offer you select at sign-up. Check the promotions page before depositing to see whether the current welcome bonus is split, sportsbook-only, casino-only, or offered as a choice between the two.
Playing Responsibly
Bonus funds and wagering requirements are designed to be manageable, not a hurdle you need to chase with bigger stakes. Set a deposit limit you're comfortable with before you claim any bonus, and treat wagering as part of ordinary play rather than a target to rush. You must be 18 or over to register and play.
