1xBet holds a valid gaming license from the Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA), one of the oldest and most widely recognized offshore gaming jurisdictions in the world. Founded in 2007, 1xBet has expanded its regulatory footprint significantly and as of 2026 reports holding licenses in over 34 regulated markets worldwide.
1xBet's Primary Curaçao License
The Curaçao eGaming license is an offshore license granted by the government of Curaçao, a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. While this license is considered a lower tier compared to licenses from the UKGC or Malta Gaming Authority (MGA), it still requires operators to meet standards for fair play, data security, and financial integrity. The license grants 1xBet authority to offer gambling services to players in jurisdictions that do not have their own comprehensive licensing frameworks.
Ireland License
In Ireland, the 1xBet brand is operated by Terminus Platform Ireland Limited, which holds Remote Bookmaker's Licence No. 1019276 issued by the Office of the Revenue Commissioners. This makes 1xBet one of the few offshore platforms to hold an EU-based operating license, providing additional credibility for European users.
Regional Licenses and Expanding Regulatory Portfolio
1xBet's strategic advisor has confirmed the platform holds licenses in parts of Eurasia including Kyrgyzstan, and that regulatory engagement is central to the operator's growth strategy. Each licensing jurisdiction requires compliance with distinct regulatory processes covering player protection, consumer protection, anti-money laundering, and responsible gambling. In 2024, 1xBet advanced to the first round of licensing applications in Brazil, one of the world's largest newly regulated sports betting markets.

What 1xBet's Licenses Mean for Players
Having a Curaçao license means 1xBet meets a baseline standard for operating legitimately in many international markets. However, players in countries with their own regulatory bodies (such as the UK, US, or Australia) are not covered by the Curaçao license and should use domestically licensed operators for full consumer protection. In regions without strong local licensing, the Curaçao license provides a meaningful level of oversight and accountability.
