Pre-Download Preparation
Check Device Compatibility
Before downloading, verify your Android device meets minimum requirements:
| Requirement | Minimum | Recommended | How to Check |
|---|---|---|---|
| Android Version | 5.0 (Lollipop) | 9.0 (Pie) or higher | Settings → About phone → Android version |
| Storage Space | 200 MB free | 500 MB+ free | Settings → Storage |
| RAM | 2 GB | 4 GB+ | Settings → About phone → RAM |
| Internet | 3G connection | WiFi or 4G/5G | Check connection in status bar |
Storage Management Tip
If you have less than 200 MB free space, clear some room before downloading:
- Delete unused apps: Settings → Apps → tap app → Uninstall
- Clear app cache: Settings → Storage → Cached data → Clear cache
- Delete photos/videos: Move to Google Photos (cloud) then delete local copies
- Clear Downloads folder: Files app → Downloads → delete old files
Choose Download Method
You have two options for downloading the 1xbet APK:
| Method | Advantages | Disadvantages | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-device download | • Direct installation • No transfer needed • Faster overall |
• Uses mobile data (if not on WiFi) • Download management limited |
Most users (easiest) |
| PC download + transfer | • Reliable large downloads • Can verify file on PC • Backup copy on PC |
• Extra transfer step • Need USB cable or cloud • More complex |
Slow mobile connections, tech-savvy users |
Recommendation: Download directly on your Android device for simplest experience. Only use PC method if you have very slow or unreliable mobile internet.
Android Download Process
Method 1: Direct Download on Android Device
Step 1: Open Browser
Launch any browser on your Android device:
- Chrome: Blue/red/yellow/green circle icon (most common)
- Firefox: Orange fox icon
- Samsung Internet: Blue compass icon (pre-installed on Samsung devices)

All browsers work identically for APK downloads. Chrome recommended if unsure (pre-installed on most Android devices).
Step 2: Navigate to Download Source
- Tap address bar at top of browser
- Type: apkcom.com
- Tap "Go" or press Enter on keyboard
- Website loads (2-5 seconds)
VERIFY URL CAREFULLY
Phishing sites use similar domains: apkcorn.com, apkc0m.com, apkcoom.com. Check address bar shows exactly apkcom.com (no extra letters or numbers). Bookmark legitimate site to avoid typos in future.
Step 3: Locate 1xbet APK
On apkcom.com homepage:
- Look for search bar or category menu
- Search "1xbet" or navigate to Sports/Betting category
- Find 1xbet listing (shows icon, name, file size)
- Verify details:

- Download count: thousands/millions (indicates legitimate file)
Step 4: Initiate Download
- Tap the "Download" or "Download APK" button
- Dialog may appear: "This type of file can harm your device"
- This is standard Android warning for ALL APK files (not specific to 1xbet)

Download notification shows:

- Progress bar: fills as download progresses
- Percentage: 0% → 100%
- Size: "15 MB / 90 MB" (downloaded / total)
Step 5: Monitor Download Progress
Download time estimates:
| Connection Type | Speed | Time for 90 MB |
|---|---|---|
| WiFi (fast) | 50+ Mbps | 1-2 minutes |
| WiFi (average) | 10-50 Mbps | 2-5 minutes |
| 4G/LTE | 5-20 Mbps | 3-8 minutes |
| 3G | 1-5 Mbps | 10-20 minutes |
| 2G | < 1 Mbps | 30+ minutes (not recommended) |
During download:
- Keep phone awake (screen doesn't have to stay on, but don't power off)
- Stay connected to WiFi/mobile data
- Avoid switching between WiFi and mobile data (may restart download)
- Can use other apps while downloading (browser can minimize)
Step 6: Verify Download Completion
When download finishes:

- Tap notification to open file immediately (proceeds to installation), OR
- Find file manually:
- Open Files app (or My Files, File Manager - varies by brand)
- Navigate to Downloads folder
- Look for "1xbet.apk" (90 MB file, download date = today)
Method 2: Download on PC, Transfer to Android
Part A: Download on PC

File Verification & Security
Verify APK Integrity
After downloading, verify file is legitimate and uncorrupted:
Check 1: File Size
- Open Files app → Downloads
- Long-press 1xbet.apk file
- Tap "Details" or "Properties" (or tap "i" icon)
- Check file size: 88-92 MB
File size outside this range?
- 1-10 MB: Fake/malware (real app much larger)
- 30-70 MB: Incomplete download (corrupted, re-download)
- 150+ MB: Wrong file or modified version (delete, re-download)
Check 2: File Name & Extension
Correct file name: 1xbet.apk or 1xbet_v4.38.1.apk (version number)
Must end with .apk extension (visible in Files app details)
Wrong extensions = suspicious:
- 1xbet.exe (Windows file, not Android)
- 1xbet.zip (compressed archive, not APK)
- 1xbet.apk.exe (double extension = malware technique)
Check 3: Download Date & Location
- Date modified: Today (download date)
- Location: /storage/emulated/0/Download/ or /sdcard/Download/
- If file appeared in different location (random folder, hidden directory) = suspicious
Optional: Advanced Verification
VirusTotal Scan (Paranoid Users)
For maximum confidence, scan APK with 60+ antivirus engines:
- On PC: Visit virustotal.com
- Click "Choose file" → select 1xbet.apk
- Upload file (may take 1-2 minutes for 90 MB)
- Wait for scan results (2-3 minutes)
- Evaluate results:
- 0-2 detections out of 60+ engines = Safe (false positives, common for betting apps)
- 3-10 detections = Likely false positives (check detection names: "PUA" or "Riskware" = category flags, not malware)
- 20+ detections = Suspicious (don't install, re-download from apkcom.com)
Troubleshooting Download Issues
Common Download Problems
Problem: Download Keeps Stopping/Failing
Symptoms: Download reaches 20-50% then stops, "Download failed" notification, "Connection lost" error.
Causes: Unstable internet connection, switching between WiFi/mobile data, phone going to sleep, low battery.
Solutions:
- Use stable WiFi: Avoid mobile data for large files (more reliable, no data charges)
- Stay close to router: Weak WiFi signal causes interruptions
- Keep screen on during download: Settings → Display → Screen timeout → 10 minutes (change back after download)
- Charge phone: Connect to charger (some phones pause downloads at low battery)
- Disable battery saver: Settings → Battery → Battery saver → OFF during download
- Try different browser: If Chrome fails, try Firefox or Samsung Internet (different download managers)
- Use download manager app: Install "Advanced Download Manager" from Play Store (more reliable for large files)
Problem: "Can't Download - No Connection"
Cause: Internet connection issue (even if other apps work).
Solutions:
- Test connection: Open browser, load google.com (if loads, connection works)
- Toggle airplane mode: ON for 5 seconds → OFF (resets network)
- Forget and reconnect WiFi: Settings → WiFi → tap network → Forget → reconnect with password
- Restart phone
- Check data limit: Settings → Network & Internet → Data usage (carrier may have throttled connection)
- Try mobile data instead of WiFi (or vice versa)
Problem: Download Starts Then Immediately Disappears
Cause: Antivirus app or "Security" app blocking APK downloads.
Solutions:
- Check antivirus quarantine: Open antivirus app → Quarantine/History → restore 1xbet.apk
- Disable antivirus temporarily: Antivirus app → Settings → disable Real-time protection → download APK → re-enable antivirus
- Add exception: Antivirus app → Settings → Exceptions → add apkcom.com to whitelist
- Samsung users: Settings → Biometrics and security → Install unknown apps → Chrome/Browser → Allow (Samsung's Device Care may block downloads)
Problem: File Downloads But Can't Find It
Symptoms: Download notification says "Complete" but file not in Downloads folder.
Solutions:
- Check notification panel: Swipe down from top → find download notification → tap it (opens file directly)
- Browser downloads page: Browser menu (three dots) → Downloads → find 1xbet.apk in list → tap
- Search phone: Open Files app → search bar → type "1xbet" → APK should appear
- Check alternative download locations:
- /storage/emulated/0/Download/ (main)
- /sdcard/Download/ (same as above, alternative path)
- Browser-specific folder: /Android/data/com.android.chrome/files/Download/
- Enable "Show hidden files": Files app → Menu (three dots) → Settings → Show hidden files → ON
Problem: "Insufficient Storage" Error
Cause: Less than 200 MB free space on device.
Solutions:
- Free up space: Settings → Storage → Free up space → select items to delete
- Clear cache: Settings → Storage → Cached data → Clear (frees 100-500 MB instantly)
- Delete unused apps: Settings → Apps → sort by size → uninstall large unused apps
- Move photos to cloud: Google Photos → Back up photos → delete local copies after backup
- Clear Downloads folder: Files app → Downloads → delete old files (check first - may have important files)
- Use SD card: If phone has SD card slot, move apps/photos to card (Settings → Storage → Internal storage → Move to SD card)
