Head-to-head
1xBet vs 500Casino
1xBet and 500Casino operate in the same verticals (casino, sportsbook), so most of what follows is a like-for-like comparison.
Everything below is taken from each operator's published record — licence registers, banking pages, bonus terms and responsible-gambling pages. We do not open accounts or play, so nothing here is a claim about hands-on experience.
Links to operators on this page are affiliate links: we earn a commission if you sign up through one, at no extra cost to you. It changes nothing about the facts shown here. See our Affiliate Disclosure.

What stands out on each
1xBet
Pros
- The licence is verifiable at source: the Curaçao Gaming Authority's certificate portal lists licence OGL/2024/1262/0493, licensee Caecus N.V. (company 163779), status Active
- The widest product range in this comparison: sports, live betting, slots, live casino, esports, poker, bingo, Toto, TV games and virtual sports under one account
- Country-specific sites for eleven markets, each with local payment rails and language
- Operating since 2007 by the company's own account — a long history at this licence tier
Cons
- A Curaçao licence offers thinner player protection and thinner recourse than a UK or Malta permit
- Terms, bonuses and banking are set per country site rather than globally, so no single set of conditions applies to everybody
- The operator publishes its rules pages client-side, so its restricted-country list, age minimum and protection tools could not be read from here at all
- Terms, bonuses and banking are set per country site, so nothing here is a single global figure
500Casino
Pros
- Licence number OGL/2024/1354/0882 is published, and the register lists the licence as indefinite with its assessment complete
- Running since 2016 under the earlier CSGO500 name — a long record for this licence tier
- CS2 and Rust skins can be deposited, wagered and traded through a linked Steam account
- Sixteen cryptocurrencies, instant deposits, and crypto withdrawals published as clearing within 24 hours
- Withdrawal ceilings published as figures — $25,000 a day, $750,000 a month
- More than 100 in-house Originals with a public provably-fair verifier
- 24/7 live chat, plus Discord, Telegram and X channels
Cons
- Only self-exclusion is confirmed — six of the seven player-protection tools we record are absent
- No deposit-limit tool, and no cool-off or time-out short of full self-exclusion
- x40 wagering on a 300% match is 120 times the deposit in turnover
- Welcome terms differ between sources, so the offer you are shown may not be the one described
- Cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay only buy crypto in-platform; direct fiat withdrawal is limited
- Withdrawals must be taken in the coin deposited, and the deposit wagered once first
- Single Curaçao licence, no second regulator
- No native iOS or Android app
- Turkey and Russia are both restricted
