Real or fake is the question most readers bring to a betting site. The honest answer has layers: a real company can still be a poor choice. Here is what is verifiable, what is claimed and what remains open.
1xBet is a long-running brand with an India-specific site that says it was established in 2007. It states that it operates under a Curacao licence. Those facts argue against it being a fake. They do not prove that your money is safe, that the licence covers the India domain or that the service is lawful in your state. Our view is cautious, with the unknowns spelled out below.
Each figure below comes from an official 1xBet page, and none of them is something we measured ourselves.

Fake copies exist for any big betting brand, so the address matters.
The brand runs its India site at indian.1xbet.com. This website is a review, not the operator, and nothing here is a login page.
Look at the full address in your browser, and do not follow a link from a message to a sign-in form.
The terms on the brand's international site state that the operator is Caecus N.V. of Curacao, licensed by the Curacao Gaming Control Board under licence OGL/2024/1262/0493, granted on 07/11/2024.
A licence record exists and a named company is behind the brand's international site.
It is not an Indian licence and does not tell you the service is lawful where you live.
The India rules name no operating company or licence number. The company on the international terms is not stated for the India domain, and the iOS app lists yet another name, 1XCorp N.V. Third-party sites quote other licence numbers again. Until the operator says which company serves India, the holder is unconfirmed.
Email the support address from the India contacts page and ask which company holds your account. Keep the reply.
Any site stating a licence holder for India with confidence is going beyond the public record.
A genuine payout record matters more than any licence line. Here is how far the published evidence goes.
Average withdrawal times by method, a statement that requests are processed around the clock and an outer limit of seven business days.
Any independent record of payouts, and a consistent withdrawal limit. We hold no test withdrawal.
Short, evidence-led replies to the doubts that come up most often.
We do not assess legality. The brand cites a Curacao licence, which is not an Indian one, so check the rules of your own state.
It publishes withdrawal methods and timings. We have no independent payout record, so we cannot promise that any particular withdrawal will arrive.
Complaints about any large betting brand circulate widely. We found no verified case to cite, and we do not repeat unverified accusations either.
It appears in the operator's own terms. We have not verified it with the regulator, so treat it as a claim.
Use only the official address, enable two-factor protection in the app, keep to one account, deposit small amounts first and test a small withdrawal.
