Everything Nigerian bettors need to know about the 1xBet minimum deposit, accepted payment methods and how to claim the welcome bonus.
The 1xBet minimum deposit in Nigeria is ₦1,700, which is also the amount you need to deposit to qualify for the platform’s welcome bonus. This guide covers exactly how much you need to fund your account, which payment methods are accepted, and the quickest way to get your first deposit credited.
Knowing the minimum deposit upfront matters because depositing less than ₦1,700 will not trigger the 300% first-deposit bonus, meaning new bettors could miss out on up to ₦600,000 in bonus funds simply by funding their account with too small an amount.
Bettors who only want to fund their account without claiming a bonus can still deposit ₦1,700 as the floor amount — there is no separate, lower threshold for depositing without opting into promotions.
OPay is a particularly popular choice among Nigerian 1xBet users for both deposits and withdrawals, thanks to fast processing times reported by regular bettors on the platform.
