This page gives you a full side-by-side comparison of every available method: minimum amounts, processing times, fees, and the specific things worth knowing before you pick one. Step-by-step deposit instructions are in the deposit guide, and the full withdrawal walkthrough is in the withdrawal guide.

Maximum withdrawal is 5,000,000 NGN per transaction for most methods. Cryptocurrency withdrawals have a higher cap at 10,000,000 NGN.
PayPal deposits work in Nigeria, but withdrawals via PayPal are currently restricted for Nigerian accounts. If you deposit with PayPal and need to withdraw, contact support to arrange an alternative method before requesting a payout.
Opay on 1xBet Nigeria
Opay is the most widely used payment method on 1xBet in Nigeria. It’s available to almost everyone with a Nigerian phone number, deposits are instant, and withdrawals typically clear in under 15 minutes around the clock.
The 100 NGN deposit minimum makes it accessible for any bet size. The 550 NGN withdrawal minimum is also low by any standard. There are no fees on either side.
One thing to keep in mind: the closed-loop policy applies here as with all methods. If you deposited with Opay, your withdrawals must go back to Opay. Switching to a different withdrawal method after an Opay deposit isn’t allowed.
Opay deposits and withdrawals both qualify for the 300% welcome bonus.
For a full withdrawal walkthrough using Opay, see the withdrawal guide.
PalmPay on 1xBet Nigeria
PalmPay works almost identically to Opay – same minimum amounts, same processing times, no fees, available 24/7. The choice between the two usually comes down to which mobile money account you already use day to day.
PalmPay deposits activate the welcome bonus on eligible first deposits. Withdrawals to PalmPay process within 15 minutes in most cases, with a maximum wait of 2 hours during busy periods.
If you regularly use both Opay and PalmPay, pick one for your 1xBet transactions and stick to it – the closed-loop rule means you’ll always need to withdraw to the same method you deposited with.
Bank transfers on 1xBet Nigeria
Bank transfer is the traditional option and the one most Nigerian players default to if they’re not using mobile money. Zenith Bank, GTBank, First Bank, Access Bank, and most other major Nigerian banks are supported.
The main trade-off compared to Opay and PalmPay is speed. Bank transfers take between 1 and 48 hours, and they only process on business days. A withdrawal submitted on Friday afternoon might not clear until Monday morning. For time-sensitive payouts, mobile money or crypto is more practical.
That said, bank transfers have the widest trust among players making larger withdrawals, and the 5,000,000 NGN maximum per transaction covers most use cases.
Bank Transfer by Opay is a separate option that combines bank-level reliability with Opay’s faster processing – worth checking if you want the security of a bank transfer without the 48-hour wait.
Bank cards on 1xBet Nigeria
Verve, Visa, and Mastercard are all accepted for deposits. The minimum is 100 NGN and deposits are instant with no fees.
Card withdrawals take up to 24 hours. Verve is the most straightforward for Nigerian naira transactions since it’s a local card scheme with no currency conversion. Visa and Mastercard work fine but may apply a foreign transaction fee depending on your bank’s policies – check with your card issuer before using them for large deposits.
Instant Bank Payment
Instant Bank Payment is a direct bank-to-bank transfer option with the lowest minimum withdrawal on the platform at 100 NGN. It processes within 15 minutes and is available 24/7, which makes it a useful middle ground between bank cards and mobile money.
The deposit minimum is 110 NGN, which is slightly higher than Opay and PalmPay but still negligible. No fees apply.
Skrill on 1xBet Nigeria
Skrill is an international e-wallet that works well for Nigerian players who already have a Skrill account or prefer keeping betting funds separate from their main bank. Processing is near-instant in both directions with a $1 minimum.
The main consideration is currency conversion. Skrill operates in multiple currencies, and if your 1xBet account is in NGN but your Skrill account holds USD or EUR, a conversion fee applies. Check the current rate in your Skrill account settings before depositing or withdrawing a large amount.
Skrill deposits qualify for the welcome bonus.
PayPal on 1xBet Nigeria
PayPal deposits work for Nigerian accounts and process instantly. The deposit minimum is $1 equivalent with no platform-side fees.
However, PayPal withdrawals are currently restricted for Nigerian accounts. If you’re planning to withdraw your winnings, don’t deposit via PayPal – you won’t be able to send the money back the same way, and you’ll need to work with support to find an alternative. Skrill or crypto are the better choices if you want an international e-wallet option that supports both deposits and withdrawals.
Cryptocurrency on 1xBet Nigeria
Crypto is the fastest and highest-limit option on the platform. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tether (USDT) are the main supported coins, with others also available in the cashier.
A few things that make crypto worth considering for regular players:
The withdrawal limit is the highest available – 10,000,000 NGN per transaction, compared to 5,000,000 NGN for most other methods. For high-volume bettors, this matters.
Processing is the fastest of any method. Deposits are instant, and withdrawals complete in 30 minutes or less once confirmed on the blockchain. There’s no dependence on bank processing hours or business days.
There are no platform fees, though standard network fees apply to blockchain transactions. For USDT on the TRC-20 network, these fees are typically very low.
One important detail: 1xBet generates a unique wallet address for each transaction. Do not reuse a previous deposit address – always copy the fresh address from the cashier before sending funds. Sending to an old address can result in funds not being credited.
Exchange rate conversion happens at the time of the transaction. For volatile coins like BTC and ETH, it’s worth checking the current rate before sending to avoid depositing more or less than intended. USDT is pegged to the dollar, so the conversion is more predictable.
Crypto deposits qualify for the 300% welcome bonus.
Which cryptocurrency to use
USDT (TRC-20) is the most practical option for most players – low network fees, stable value, fast processing. Bitcoin is the most widely held but comes with higher network fees and more exchange rate variability. Ethereum sits in between.
Which payment method is best for Nigerian players?
It depends on what you’re optimising for.
For speed and simplicity, Opay or PalmPay. Deposits and withdrawals both process in under 15 minutes, no fees, available 24/7, and most Nigerian players already have one of these accounts.
For the highest withdrawal limits, cryptocurrency. The 10,000,000 NGN cap is double what most other methods allow, and processing is faster than any bank option.
For players without mobile money or crypto, bank cards and Instant Bank Payment work well for deposits. Withdrawals take longer but are reliable.
For international transactions or players managing funds in foreign currencies, Skrill is the most practical option that supports both deposits and withdrawals without the restrictions PayPal has in Nigeria.
1xBet closed-loop payment policy explained
1xBet requires all withdrawals to go through the same method used for the deposit. This applies across all payment methods without exception.
If you deposit via Opay, you withdraw to Opay. If you deposit by bank card, you withdraw to that card. Requests using a different method will be rejected.
The reason is fraud prevention – matching deposit and withdrawal methods ensures the money returns to the verified account owner.
If you’ve made deposits using multiple methods, contact 1xBet support to confirm which method should be used for withdrawal before submitting a request.
Currency and conversion on 1xBet Nigeria
NGN (Nigerian Naira) is the default currency for Nigerian accounts and the one to use if you’re depositing and withdrawing in naira. It avoids conversion fees entirely and ensures that bonus amounts display correctly.
For international methods like Skrill and crypto, transactions are converted at the current exchange rate at the time of the transaction. The rate is shown in the cashier before you confirm – check it for large amounts.
Currency cannot be changed after registration.
Do all payment methods qualify for the welcome bonus?
Yes. The 300% welcome bonus up to 600,000 NGN is triggered by your first deposit regardless of which payment method you use – Opay, bank transfer, crypto, or any other available option.
The bonus amount is calculated on the deposited sum in NGN. For deposits made in foreign currencies (via Skrill or crypto), the NGN equivalent at the time of the transaction is used.
Full bonus terms, wagering requirements, and activation steps are in the deposit guide.
