By To download the 1xBet app in Kenya, open the official Kenyan 1xBet site on your Android phone, find the mobile apps page and download the APK; reports indicate the app is distributed from the site rather than Google Play. Once installed, it runs the same account and wallet as the website, with sports, casino and live casino, and 1xBet's own promotional material for Kenya says deposits work with M-Pesa and Airtel Money. iPhone availability was not confirmed. You must be 18+.
BetTips.co.ke is an independent guide to Kenyan bookmakers and is not run by any of them. We did not install the app on a funded account; this guide uses public sources as of October 2026.
Why the source of the 1xBet APK matters more than usual
1xBet runs many country sites and mirror domains, and searches like "1xbet apk" return dozens of download pages. Some offer versions for other countries that do not show KES or M-Pesa. Others are modified copies. A fake betting app can show a pixel-perfect login screen and send your password and phone number to someone else. Download only from the Kenyan site you reach through a trusted link.
Installing the 1xBet app on Android
- Open the Kenyan 1xBet site in Chrome or your default browser.
- Open the mobile apps section, usually linked in the menu or footer.
- Choose the Android download and wait for it to finish.
- Allow installs from your browser when Android asks, for this file only.
- Install, then disable the unknown-apps permission again.
- Open the app and check that prices are in KES before you log in or register.
Permission check after install
| Permission | Reasonable? |
|---|---|
| Notifications | Yes, for bet results and offers (you can switch them off) |
| Storage | Yes, for updates |
| Read SMS | Be wary; decline unless the app explains why |
| Contacts or accessibility | No; uninstall if asked |
1xBet on iPhone
We could not confirm an iOS app for Kenyan users. The mobile site works in Safari: open it, tap Share and choose Add to Home Screen for a one-tap shortcut. Avoid "iOS 1xBet" profiles or configuration files offered by third parties; installing a profile can give someone control over parts of your phone.
Updating the app
The app usually prompts you when a new version is out. If it stops loading or shows errors, download the current APK from the official site and install it over the old one. Your account and balance stay on 1xBet's side, so reinstalling does not remove them.
App promo codes
Pages promising a special "1xbet app promo code" are affiliate offers or scams. Any app-specific offer would be listed on the official promotions page; see our 1xBet promo code page for how such offers work.
Low storage or old phone?
The mobile site needs no install. It is the safer choice if your phone is short on space, and it carries the same cashier. After installing either way, follow our 1xBet registration steps or deposit with the 1xBet paybill guide. Other options are compared on our betting apps list, and the operator overview is in the 1xBet review.
Frequently asked questions
Is the 1xBet app on Google Play in Kenya?
Reports indicate the Android app is an APK from the 1xBet site, not a Play Store listing. Download it only from the official Kenyan site.
Is there a 1xBet app for iPhone in Kenya?
We could not confirm one. Use the mobile site in Safari and add it to your home screen.
Why does my 1xBet app show another currency?
You may have installed a version for another country. Remove it and download from the Kenyan site.
Can I deposit with M-Pesa in the 1xBet app?
1xBet's promotional material for Kenya lists M-Pesa and Airtel Money. Check the cashier in the app.
