Licence and Albanian law
1xBet operates under a Curaçao licence. Its regulatory record is long: it lost its UK licence in 2019, is banned in several countries including France, Spain and Russia, was fined €400,000 by the Netherlands in 2019, and had its Ukrainian licences cancelled in 2023.
It holds no Albanian licence. AMLF has in recent years sought blocking of illegal sites and reported social-media gambling ads.
The bonus in euros
The casino welcome package spans four deposits: 100%, 50%, 25% and 25%, plus 150 free spins, each stage to be bet 35x within 7 days.
The euro maximum varies by country and should be checked in the terms. 35x sits mid-table: €100 of bonus needs €3,500 of bets.

Thousands of slots, live casino, crash games and one of the largest sportsbooks anywhere.
