Introducing 1Bet
1Bet is operated by Bellona N.V., a company registered at Heelsumstraat 51 E-Commerce Park, Curaçao, under company registration number 120860. The brand runs a combined sportsbook and online casino aimed at international markets, including a Hungarian-language version of the site for players in Hungary.
Company background and mission
The operator positions 1Bet as a multi-product platform covering sports betting, slots, table games, casual games and a live casino. Its documented mission centres on offering a broad product range under a single account, with localised language versions and region-specific payment options such as HUF-friendly e-wallet deposits.
Values and vision
The values the operator communicates are straightforward: a wide betting and gaming catalogue, account verification before any withdrawal, and support accessible through live chat and e-mail. Only players aged 18 or over may register, which reflects the minimum-age rule applied across the platform.
Market position
1Bet competes in Hungary as an offshore alternative to domestically licensed operators. It does not hold a licence from the Hungarian regulator SZTFH; instead it operates under a Curaçao licence, which places it in the same regulatory category as many internationally focused brands serving Hungarian customers.
Licence and Regulation
1Bet operates under a Curaçao licence issued to Bellona N.V. by Antillephone N.V., licence number 8048/JAZ. This is an offshore licence rather than a Hungarian SZTFH permit, so players in Hungary use the site under Curaçao jurisdiction, not under domestic regulation.
Operating permits
The single documented permit behind the brand is licence 8048/JAZ, which covers both the sportsbook and the casino vertical. The Hungarian-language site is run by the same operating entity, Bellona N.V., registered in Curaçao.
Regulatory authorities
Supervision falls to the Curaçao licensing framework, with Antillephone N.V. acting as the master licence holder responsible for the operator’s compliance. No domestic Hungarian, UKGC or other EU national licence is documented for this brand.
Compliance and audits
The compliance measure Hungarian players encounter most directly is mandatory KYC. Before the first withdrawal, the account must be verified in the “Account Verification” section with proof of identity — passport, driving licence or national ID card — and proof of address such as a utility bill or bank statement. Until verification is complete, deposits are possible but withdrawals are not.
Why Choose 1Bet?
Several concrete features distinguish the brand for Hungarian players: a HUF-oriented payment setup with a stated minimum deposit of 8,000 Ft, a combined sportsbook and casino catalogue, and a documented welcome offer of a 100% bonus up to 60,000 Ft plus 100 free spins.
Game selection and quality
The casino lobby covers four documented categories: slots, table games, casual games and live casino. The sportsbook runs alongside it under the same account balance. Details about the overall platform are covered on our home page, and a native Android APK is available for mobile users, which we cover separately on this site.
Security and trustworthiness
Security rests on the Curaçao licence 8048/JAZ and the enforced KYC procedure described above. Players must be at least 18 years old, and identity documents are checked before any payout. The operator’s data-handling rules are summarised in our review of the 1Bet privacy policy policy.
Payment methods and reliability
1Bet is fiat-first for Hungary. Documented deposit methods include Visa and Mastercard bank and credit cards, the MiFinity, Skrill, NETELLER and Jeton e-wallets, Rapid Transfer and Revolut transfers, paysafecard (deposit only), and — for OTP customers — Klarna for fast banking. For a HUF-denominated account, Skrill or NETELLER (or Klarna for OTP clients) are the workable options according to independent tests. Cryptocurrencies are also accepted as a secondary option.
| Method | Minimum deposit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Visa / Mastercard | 10 EUR (most methods) | Card withdrawals go to the linked bank account |
| Skrill / NETELLER | 10 EUR (most methods) | Suitable for HUF accounts |
| MiFinity / Jeton | 10 EUR (most methods) | E-wallet deposits and withdrawals |
| Rapid Transfer / Revolut | 10 EUR (most methods) | Bank transfer options |
| paysafecard | 10 EUR (most methods) | Deposit only |
| Klarna | 10 EUR (most methods) | For OTP customers, fast banking |
Deposit maximums for customers living in Hungary range between 1,000 EUR and 8,800 EUR depending on the payment method. The minimum deposit shown on the site is 8,000 Ft, which also matches the qualifying threshold for the welcome bonus. Withdrawal speed is not stated in the available sources, so no concrete payout timeframe can be quoted.
Customer support excellence
Support is available via live chat and e-mail. Independent tests indicate that assistance is currently provided in English rather than Hungarian, which is worth knowing before contacting the team.
Contact and Support
Players can reach 1Bet through live chat directly on the site or by e-mail; tests show responses are handled in English at present. The operator does not document a Hungarian-language support line or phone contact.
Customer service availability
Live chat is the primary contact channel and is accessible from the casino interface once logged in. No documented support hours are published, so availability should be treated as chat-based rather than phone-based.
E-mail and live chat
E-mail suits longer queries such as KYC document follow-ups, while live chat handles account and payment questions. When submitting verification files, the accepted documents are a passport, driving licence or national ID card for identity, and a utility bill or bank statement for address.
Frequently asked questions
The most common questions about legality, registration, payments and the welcome bonus are answered in the FAQ section at the bottom of this page.
Community and social channels
The operator does not document official Hungarian social media channels in the available sources, so live chat and e-mail remain the verified contact routes. The general conditions of use are summarised on our 1Bet terms and conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions about 1Bet
Is 1Bet legal in Hungary?
1Bet does not hold a Hungarian SZTFH licence. It operates under an offshore Curaçao licence, number 8048/JAZ, issued to Bellona N.V. through Antillephone N.V. Hungarian players access the site under Curaçao jurisdiction, so it is an offshore-licensed operator rather than a domestically regulated one.
How do I create a 1Bet account?
Registration is open to players aged 18 or over through the sign-up form on the site. After registering, account verification is mandatory before the first withdrawal: upload a passport, driving licence or national ID card plus a utility bill or bank statement in the Account Verification section.
What payment methods does 1Bet support in Hungary?
Documented options include Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, NETELLER, MiFinity, Jeton, Rapid Transfer, Revolut, paysafecard (deposit only), Klarna for OTP customers, and cryptocurrencies as a secondary option. Most methods have a 10 EUR minimum, with the site showing an 8,000 Ft minimum deposit.
How do I claim the 1Bet welcome bonus?
New players can claim a 100% welcome bonus up to 60,000 Ft plus 100 free spins using the promo code WB100NS. The minimum qualifying deposit is 8,000 Ft, and the sports bonus requires minimum odds of 1.80. Casino bonus wagering is 30x according to the documented terms.
If the offshore licensing model, HUF-friendly payment rails and the documented welcome offer match what you are looking for, the next step is to visit the operator’s site and review the terms yourself before registering.
