1xBit review: a Bitcoin-only casino that still takes Kiwi players

1xBit at a glance

The account runs in Bitcoin, so there is no New Zealand dollar balance and every deposit goes through a coin or an exchange such as Binance.

Founded in 2016, it has years of trading behind it, which counts for something with an offshore licence. If a withdrawal is refused, you have little leverage beyond the casino's own support.

1xBit was founded in 2016. 1xBit therefore has a longer public record than most casinos on a new-casino list. Age is not a safety measure on its own. It does mean there is a history of player reports that you can search before you deposit. The guide on how new casinos differ from regular ones shows why that record matters when you compare operators.

Playing from New Zealand

New Zealand now licenses online casinos under the Online Casino Gambling Act 2026. 1xBit does not hold a New Zealand licence.

From 1 December 2026, operators that have not applied for a New Zealand licence must stop offering online casino games here. The Act's penalties are aimed at operators and advertisers rather than players. Even so, a casino that takes New Zealand players today may change its terms, so check that your account stays open before you leave a balance there.

Our news story on New Zealand's regulated casino market explains how the licences work.

The knowledge base records that 1xBit is not licensed in New Zealand. The practical risk for a player is a frozen or closed account rather than a penalty. 1xBit may restrict New Zealand accounts when the new rules start. Keep a record of your balance and deposits, and withdraw any winnings you do not plan to play with.

Licence and safety

Anjouan is an island in the Comoros. Its licences are quick to obtain and come with little oversight, so you have few options if a withdrawal is refused.

Copy the licence number from the casino's footer and look it up on the regulator's own register. Then set a deposit limit in your account before you play; if the casino offers no limits or self-exclusion, treat that as a warning. Our page on responsible gaming covers the tools to look for.

The knowledge base records the 1xBit licence as Anjouan License. An Anjouan licence is not a New Zealand licence. Under the new Act, only a New Zealand licence gives you a local regulator to complain to. Until then, your recourse is the casino's own complaints process. Save screenshots of your balance, the bonus terms and any support chat, so you can show what was agreed.

Games and studios

The studios include Evolution Gaming, Pragmatic Play, Playson, Spribe and Endorphina, among 49 names in total. Live tables come from Evolution, among others. Some games are provably fair, which lets you verify each result with crypto tools.

Beyond slots and tables, the lobby has crash games, which run fast and can drain a balance quickly.

Many slots come in several RTP versions, and the casino chooses which one to run. Open the game's information screen and check the RTP before you play.

The knowledge base estimates the 1xBit lobby at 3,000 games from 49 studios. Live dealer tables are the part to check first if you play live. The Evolution Gaming page explains what the studio's table games and game shows involve. The knowledge base marks 1xBit as offering provably fair games. A provably fair round gives you a hash to check afterwards, so you can confirm the result was not changed. That check does not change the house edge, so a provably fair slot still costs the same over time. Set a loss limit before you open a crash game.

Deposits and withdrawals

New Zealand dollars are not among its account currencies; it lists Bitcoin. Deposits run through crypto: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and Binance.

The knowledge base lists 1 withdrawal method for 1xBit: Bitcoin. Ask support how winnings are paid out before you deposit.

1xBit lists 6 deposit methods: Binance, Bitcoin, Bitcoin Gold, Dogecoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Toncoin (TON). Crypto payments cannot be reversed by your bank. A deposit sent to the wrong address or network is usually lost. Copy the address from the cashier, send a small test amount first and confirm that the coin and network match. The New Zealand dollar value of your balance also moves with the coin price between deposit and withdrawal. A win in coins can shrink in dollar terms before you cash out.

How to deposit at 1xBit

1. Register, then open the cashier from your balance or the deposit button.
2. Choose a method and enter the amount; check the minimum deposit for the welcome offer if you want it.
3. Confirm the payment in your banking app, card screen or wallet.
4. Set a deposit limit in your account before your first bet.

How to withdraw from 1xBit

1. Upload your ID and proof of address early, because no reputable casino pays out without them.
2. Open the cashier, choose Withdraw and, where possible, the method you deposited with.
3. Check that no active bonus still has wagering left, or it can block the withdrawal.
4. Start with a small amount and note how long it takes to arrive.

Why casinos ask for documents, and which ones, is explained in our guide to ID checks at new casinos.

Welcome offer and terms

The current offer for New Zealand players is shown at the top of this page, as the casino states it. What it is worth depends on the terms: wagering, the time limit, the maximum bet while the bonus is active, which games count, and any cap on winnings.

• Open the bonus terms before you deposit and note the wagering and time limit.
• Check whether your payment method is excluded from the offer; e-wallets often are.
• Keep to the maximum bet with a bonus active, or the casino can void it.
• Large packages are spread over several deposits. Claim only the stages you would have deposited anyway.

Our guide on how to find and claim bonuses works through the maths, and the terms and conditions overview lists the clauses that matter.

A casino shows its offer as a banner, and the banner can change without notice. Treat it as a starting point and read the terms page before you accept. At a crypto casino, check which currency the bonus is held in. A bonus held in coins has wagering worked out on a balance that moves with the coin price.

Our verdict

Only if you already hold Bitcoin and accept that your balance moves with its price. The brand has been around since 2016, which counts for something offshore, but the Anjouan licence gives you little to lean on in a dispute and only one withdrawal method, Bitcoin, is on file. Ask support how fast you get paid before the first deposit.

1xBit suits a narrow group of players. The group is crypto holders who are comfortable with wallets, addresses and network fees. 1xBit does not suit players who want an NZD balance or a New Zealand regulator. A first deposit of a small amount and an early small withdrawal will show you quickly which group you are in.
