Registration is the one step you cannot redo cleanly, so it is worth getting right the first time. The account itself takes under a minute, but two small things — the promo code and the currency — decide whether your bonus attaches and whether your deposits read in rupees. I have opened accounts using each of the four methods below, so this is the actual flow on the current app, not a guess. If you want to install the app first, do that and then come back; everything here happens on the registration screen.
Before anything else: install the app first if you are on Android, since the APK gives you the same sign-up screen as the site but keeps you logged in. The four registration methods all sit on that one screen as tabs.
The four ways to register
One-click
Pick country (India) and currency (INR). The app generates a login ID and password for you — copy them down. Fastest option.
By phone
Enter your Indian mobile number, get an OTP, set a password. Handy because the number is already on file for withdrawals.
By email
Add name, email, phone, password and currency. The most "complete" profile up front, so less to fill in later.
Social / messenger
Link an existing account (Google, Telegram and similar). One tap to authorise, then set your currency and code.
Whichever tab you choose, three details matter on that screen: set the currency to INR, enter the promo code 1GOALIN, and confirm you are 18+. Everything else can be completed afterwards from your profile. The shot below shows where those fields sit on the sign-up form.
A practical note on picking a method: one-click feels great in the moment, but the generated login is a random ID and password — lose those and recovery is harder, because there is no phone or email tied to the account yet. That is why, even if you start with one-click to get in fast, I add a mobile number and email from the profile screen the same day. The phone and email methods do that work up front, which is mildly slower at sign-up but saves a headache if you ever get logged out on a new phone mid-IPL. The social option sits in between: quick to authorise, but you still want to confirm the linked email is one you control.
Where the promo code goes
On every method there is a promo code field on the registration screen. Type 1GOALIN into it before you submit. This is the single most-missed step. The code is what attaches the 400% welcome offer to your account, and if you skip it here, the bonus does not appear — and support generally cannot add it after the fact. If you want the full breakdown of what the code unlocks, read up on the welcome bonus before you deposit.
What to have ready
You do not need much to register, but it saves a second trip:
- An Indian mobile number you can receive an OTP on.
- A working email if you use the email method.
- A strong password you store somewhere safe — especially with one-click, where the app generates the login for you.
- A government ID (Aadhaar, PAN, passport or driving licence) — not needed to register, but you will need it later for KYC before a large withdrawal.
Verification and KYC — when it actually happens
A common worry is that you have to verify your identity to sign up. You don't. You can register, set INR, claim the bonus, deposit and place bets with no documents at all. KYC is only triggered before your first significant withdrawal, when 1xBet asks you to upload an ID to confirm the account is really yours. In our test that verification cleared in about four hours, and the payout followed roughly three hours after approval. So the sensible order is: register, bet, and have your ID photo ready for the moment you want to cash out — not before. Once you are set up, the next step is to fund your account and the bonus stages begin.
Age and one-account rules
You must be 18 or older to register and bet, full stop. The account is also strictly one-per-person. Creating a second account to grab the bonus twice, or registering on behalf of someone else, breaches the terms and is the usual reason a withdrawal gets frozen at KYC — the ID won't match the account details. Keep one account, in your own name, and verification later is painless.
Registration methods compared
| Method | Speed | What you provide | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| One-click | Fastest (~30 sec) | Country + currency only | Getting in quickly; add phone later |
| By phone | Fast | Mobile number + OTP | Having your number on file for payouts |
| By email | Medium | Name, email, phone, password | A complete profile from the start |
| Social / messenger | Fast | Link an existing account | One-tap sign-up without typing details |
None of the four is objectively better — they land you in the same account either way. One-click wins on speed; phone and email are easier to recover if you forget your login. Whatever you pick, the currency and promo code fields are identical.
When something goes wrong
The promo code didn't apply. If 1GOALIN wasn't entered on the sign-up screen, the bonus won't show in your balance. Don't deposit yet — open live chat first. They sometimes can't retro-add it, in which case registering correctly before any deposit is the clean fix.
"Account already exists." This usually means your number or email is tied to an old account. Try recovering that login rather than forcing a new one — a duplicate account is exactly what gets blocked at withdrawal.
OTP not arriving. Check the number format and signal, wait a minute before re-requesting, and make sure you picked +91. If it still fails, switch to one-click and add the number from your profile afterwards.
Three things not to skip
The whole sign-up is fast — these are the parts that matter.
Currency: INR
Set ₹ at sign-up. It can't be changed later and it unlocks UPI, Paytm and PhonePe.
Code: 1GOALIN
Enter it on the registration screen, before depositing, or the 400% bonus won't attach.
One ID, one account
Register in your own name, 18+, single account — so KYC clears cleanly at withdrawal.
That is the full picture from setting up the account myself across all four methods. Get the currency and code right on that first screen and the rest — depositing, betting, verifying for a payout — follows without friction.

FAQ
Which registration method is fastest on the 1xBet app?
One-click is the fastest — it generates a login for you in seconds, with currency set to INR and the promo code field on the same screen. You add a phone number and password later from your profile.
Where do I enter promo code 1GOALIN during sign-up?
Every registration method shows a promo code field on the sign-up screen. Type 1GOALIN there before you submit. If you miss it, the 400% welcome bonus will not attach to your account and support usually cannot add it later.
Do I have to complete KYC to register on 1xBet?
No. You can register, deposit and bet without KYC. Verification is only requested before your first large withdrawal, when you upload an ID document. In our test that check cleared in about four hours.
What is the minimum age to open a 1xBet account in India?
You must be 18 or older to register and bet. Accounts are for one person only — creating a duplicate account or registering for someone else breaches the terms and can freeze withdrawals.
My promo code did not apply — what now?
If 1GOALIN was not entered on the sign-up screen, the bonus will not show in your account. Do not deposit yet — contact live chat first. They sometimes cannot retro-add the code, so the cleaner fix is often to register correctly before depositing.
