N1 Bet Review 2024: Evaluating the Legitimacy of N1 Bet

On my maiden voyage to N1 Bet’s homepage, the very first thing that caught my eye was the brand’s latest bonus. This is partly because it’s displayed in a massive banner ad at the top of the page, of course.

So, what’s the offer worth? Well, sign-up from an eligible region – which, I’m sad to say, excludes the UK and the USA right now – and you can qualify for a matched deposit bonus up to a maximum of $/€ 200 or your local currency equivalent. It appears the offer is playable on either sports or esports only, as there’s an entirely separate bonus advertised for casino customers.

I go into more detail in my N1 Bet bonus review. But basically, the key need-to-knows are as follows:

• Your first deposit must exceed a $/€ 20 minimum, or your local currency equivalent.
• This will be matched up to 50% (up to a max of $/€ 200).
• The bonus comes as a single free bet, which must be used within three days of receipt.
• It must go down on odds from 1.01 to 2.00.
• In some regions, a special bonus code might be required. From where I’m playing from, this was advertised as “FB200” at the time of writing, but you should check what the T&Cs say for you locally, as regional/national differences may apply.

Once I’d figured out what was what with that bonus, I started clicking around N1 Bet’s website a bit to get my bearings – and I have to say, this is one very beautifully put-together platform.

When you first arrive here, you’ll be plonked front-and-center on the site’s regular sportsbook, which displays odds for football, tennis, MMA and the like. Click through to “esports” at the top, and that’s where the action really begins.

On the esports landing page, you’ll find a rotating banner ad displaying all the day’s freshest bonuses at the top, followed by competitive numbers on all the latest “Live” and “Upcoming” esports tournaments. Similarly to what I saw in the Sleeper review I published a couple of days back, there are one-click links to individual esport sub-pages listed neatly on the left-hand side of the page. These can be clearly found under the “Top eSports” heading.

Bets can be placed with just one click, though your betting slips here at N1 Bet are located in a slightly-awkward collapsable menu – you’ll need to tap on the “My Bets” button in the bottom right to make your slip visible. From there, it’s relatively easy to chop and change any previously clicked selections.

Did my N1 Bet review find any apps lurking about?

N1 Bet’s app situation is a bit of a weird one. I couldn’t locate any iOS or Android apps for the brand on the App Store or Google Play when carrying out direct searches, but when I started digging around on the company’s website, I soon realized that an N1 Bet app – which is both iOS and Android-friendly – can be downloaded directly from N1 Bet’s site via the very sensibly-titled “N1 Bet Mobile App” page.

Usability-wise, you’re essentially looking at a slimmed-down version of the regular site, which is equally easy-to-use. That said, if you’re one of these people who, like me, doesn’t really want to have to download yet another app onto your smartphone or tablet, you’re in luck – because I found that N1 Bet’s standard site also works pretty darn well on iOS and Android devices when accessed directly from your browser. I’ve been playing from my Samsung Galaxy Tab on Chrome for some time now, and it’s all been plain-sailing from day one.

If you fancy checking out the operator’s separate sportsbook or casino, you’ll find icons for these in the bottom toolbar, and also in the main burger menu – the latter of which contains pretty much everything you’ll ever need here. In all, N1 Bet is very neatly-designed package.

Not too long back, I published a BC.Game review that was pretty impressed to see that that operator supports both fiat and crypto deposits. It’s a rare feature, though one I’m happy to say you’ll also find here at N1 Bet.

On the brand’s very informative payments page, I found that those of us in permitted regions can deposit fiat via conventional credit or debit cards like VISA and MasterCard, or by a bunch of reputable e-wallets like PayPal, MuchBetter, Skrill, Interac and EcoPayz. Whichever option you choose, your deposit will go through instantly, and N1 Bet won’t charge any commissions at their end, either. Minimum deposit limits are fair, too, at a consistent $/€ 20 across the board.

If you’re more of a crypto bro (or sis), you’ll be happy to hear that Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, USDT and Bitcoin Cash are all supported, too, though your minimum limits are a bit more varied here – with a 0.0001 BTC minimum and a 1 DOG minimum enforced, for example.

N1 Bet withdrawals largely set the same minimums as deposits, and astonishingly, also all promise “instant processing times” and fee-free transactions. Having said that, if you’re using an ewallet, I’d definitely double-check your banking provider’s own fee structure first, as it’s pretty standard for folk like PayPal to tack-on charges at their end in some regions; particularly if you’re depositing/withdrawing using a different currency to the one held in your account.

If ever you have any queries or quandaries about your esports betting experiences with N1 Bet, I found that you can hit the “Support” icon in the bottom-left-hand-corner to bring up an interactive message window at any time.

From here, simply click “send us a message” to get yourself connected to… a chatbot, who’ll then hand you over to an actual human being once you’ve shared some basic info about your issue.

Much as I found in my recent Jackbit review, N1 Bet’s help service is pretty fast-acting; you can expect back-and-forth replies within just a few minutes once you’re actually put in touch with a real person.

If for whatever reason live chat doesn’t float your boat, though, there’s also the option to submit a contact form to the brand via the “N1 Bet Support” page 24/7, or to email the operator directly – though I did find the latter option could see you waiting around a fair few hours for a reply during peak times.

Although I’m focusing entirely on esports here rather than giving you guys an N1 Bet casino review or sportsbook write-up, I feel now’s a good time to tell you that whichever N1 Bet platform you’re using (i.e., esports, sports or casino), the customer support options are one and the same, and even accessed in the exact same way – either from the “N1 Bet Support” page, or the “Support” icon I mentioned earlier.

I’m sure you guys are getting the picture by now that yes, N1 Bet is legit – it’s a solid esports betting brand that offers round-the-clock customer support, reputable payment options and an easy-to-use all-round site and app.

Naturally, I found a fair few green flags to report on the reputation front, too. The brand’s owned and operated by Dama N.V., holds a recognised iGaming license, and is also closely-linked with organizations like Paysafe (for payment-processing) and Gambling Therapy (for responsible gaming).

Having said that, while the brand’s license will enable you to access the site legally if you’re living in, say, Australia, New Zealand, or Canada, other parts of the anglosphere – such as the UK and USA – are currently off-limits due to the fact the brand isn’t currently regulated by the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) or Malta Gaming Authority (MGA).

It’s a bit of a bummer, I know, but on the upside, those of you living in N1 Bet-friendly countries can benefit from state-of-the-art SSL encryption, quick-links to reputable responsible gaming organizations, and of course all the site’s competitive esports tournament odds.

N1 Bet isn’t at all cagey about where you can and can’t bet from, either – geo-tracking software will automatically stop you from accessing the site if you’re visiting from an off-limits region, and there’s a full list of green and red-lit countries available on the brand’s T&Cs page.

I won’t beat around the bush. While N1 Bet is pretty darn good for esports lovers, their platform sometimes caters more toward sports and casino bettors, and this is most apparent when looking at the brand’s bonuses. It’s a shame I’m not writing an N1 Bet sportsbook review, really – as sports fans tend to get the lion’s share of the special offers here.

I found that while your 50% up to $/€ 200 welcome bonus appears to be esports-friendly, the same can’t be said for many of N1 Bet’s other bonuses. This is true of “Comboboosts”, for example, which offer odds boosts of up to 100%, but only on the likes of tennis, basketball and soccer, and “Weekly Cashback” bonuses, which offer personalized free bets, but strictly only playable on sports. Then there’s the N1 Bet VIP Cub program which, as far as I can see, is more geared toward N1 Bet casino customers.

On the upside, much like I found in my recent Sleeper review, there are a couple of esports-friendly bonuses that folk like you and I can take advantage of. These include:

I spied the above offers on N1 Bet’s promotions page, but if you’re feeling bonus-hungry, giving these guys a follow on your socials might be a good idea, too, as N1 Bet occasionally drops time-sensitive esports promo codes via X and Facebook.
