Priority regions for development
Latin America
The region is one of the strategically important markets where the company has significantly increased its presence. The brand received a license in Peru and is in the final stages of certification in Brazil, with plans to obtain licenses in Venezuela and Bolivia in 2025. A key step was sponsoring popular tennis tournaments under the WTA banner and collaborating with renowned Mexican footballer Guillermo Ochoa. The brand also actively supports FC Universidad Católica from Chile and FC Caracas from Venezuela, and, as part of a partnership with Bestia, was ready to invest US$1 million in Argentine esports.
Asia
Over the past year, the brand has been particularly active in Southeast Asian countries. In one year, the number of participants in the 1xPartners program in this region has doubled. Additionally, 1xBet increased its market share and boosted brand recognition through collaborations with Chris Newsome, Kai Sotto and other partners.
India is another important region where 1xBet has made significant progress. Compared to last year, the platform’s audience has grown by 47%, the number of active players has increased by 60% and the number of participants in the affiliate program has risen by 70%. This has been made possible by the bookmaker’s productive work during the IPL season.
In Thailand, 1xBet became a sponsor of the ESL tournament in Bangkok. The brand hosted the 1xFest pubstomp, which was attended by over 100 guests, and the event’s online broadcast attracted more than 70,000 viewers.
In Mongolia, 1xBet collaborates with The MongolZ esports team, which has shown phenomenal progress over the past year. It became the first Asian squad to reach the Perfect World Shanghai Major final stage. Over the year, The MongolZ participated in 22 tournaments, including 8 S-tier events, and won 6 major competitions, earning over US$1 million in prize money. Today, the team ranks 7th in the HLTV ranking and 4th in the Global Valve Ranking, confirming its status as one of the world’s strongest teams.
Another significant partnership was launched in India: 1xBet became the sponsor of Skyesports Masters, the country’s first franchised esports league.
In 2025, 1xBet will continue to actively work in the esports sector and announce new partnerships in the world of sports, including agreements with a top MMA fighter and a leading basketball league.
Africa
1xBet is actively expanding its presence in Africa through partnerships in the sports world and collaborations with popular artists. One of the brand’s most successful projects was its connection with famous Nigerian musician Davido. The company also hosted the grand football tournament 1xCup in Nigeria. The event attracted additional attention to the brand and increased audience loyalty.
The company actively supports social initiatives – for example, in Zambia and Kenya, it helps raise road safety awareness among drivers. In Kenya, the Waziri Cup, a sports tournament known for its charitable initiatives, is also held with the support of 1xBet.
Active participation in sports and social projects has significantly increased brand recognition, with this figure reaching 95% in some countries.
The strategy in priority regions includes further product localization, the launch of exciting promos, and the involvement of sports stars and entertainment industry figures. These steps will help 1xBet gain the trust of new players and strengthen its position as a global leader.
