New players in Cameroon pick one welcome offer at registration, a sports bonus, a casino package, or neither, and existing players keep earning through weekly promotions and a tiered cashback program that runs independently of any of it. 1xBet operates locally under license N° 000020/A/MINAT/SG/DAP/SDLP/SJ, issued by the Ministry of Territorial Administration (MINAT), and every bonus on this page is restricted to players 21 and older.
What Each Bonus Type Actually Means
Not every “bonus” works the same way, and the difference matters before you activate one.
Bonus money lands in a separate bonus balance, not your main balance, and comes with a wagering multiplier. A 5,000 XAF bonus at 5x wagering means placing 25,000 XAF in qualifying bets before any of it becomes withdrawable, and whatever you win above the original bonus amount typically gets capped rather than paid out in full.
Free spins work similarly, credited to a separate balance and still subject to wagering, with their value depending on both the spin count and the stake per spin.
Free bets are the exception. Winnings from a free bet go straight to your main balance with no wagering requirement at all, though the stake itself (the free bet’s face value) gets deducted from whatever you win.
Welcome Bonus: Sports vs Casino
You choose one of these at registration, not both, so it’s worth comparing them side by side before you pick.
| Sports Welcome Bonus | Casino Welcome Bonus | |
| Maximum | 130,000 XAF | 1,000,000 XAF + 150 free spins |
| Rate | 200% of first deposit | Split across first 4 deposits |
| Minimum deposit | 600 XAF | 600 XAF |
| Wagering | 5x, on accumulators of 3+ selections at odds 1.40+ | 30x, on eligible casino games |
| Deadline | 30 days | Not fixed, check current terms |
Full terms for each are on the registration page and the casino page, since you pick one (or neither) at sign-up.
Using a Promo Code
Enter [PROMOCODE] before you deposit, at registration or from the Bonuses section of your account, since there’s no way to apply a code after the fact. Codes circulate through 1xBet’s own site and app, its social media pages, e-mail newsletters, and affiliate partners, and they’re always free. Where a code raises anything, it’s almost always the cash portion of a bonus rather than the free spins attached to it.
Lucky Friday and Other Recurring Promotions
Lucky Friday runs every week for players who’ve opted in through account settings beforehand, not just anyone who happens to deposit on a Friday. Deposit at least 700 XAF between 00:00 and 23:59 on Friday, and you get 100% of that deposit as a bonus, up to roughly 200,000 XAF. Wagering is 3x the bonus within 24 hours, on accumulators of three or more selections at 1.40 or higher, the same structure as the welcome bonus but faster. As with most 1xBet bonuses, a big win only pays out the original bonus amount, not whatever the wagering happened to earn beyond it.
Beyond Lucky Friday, 1xBet runs other recurring promotions for regular players, boosted odds on accumulators, casino-specific deposit offers, and seasonal campaigns. The active list changes often enough that checking the Promotions section directly beats relying on any fixed list here.
VIP Cashback and Loyalty Points
Every account is automatically enrolled in the VIP Cashback program, which runs on 8 tiers from Copper up to VIP. Copper starts at 5% cashback on losing bets, paid weekly, and climbing tiers depends on how much you wager, not whether you win. At VIP, cashback applies to every bet rather than just losses, split by game type, roughly 0.25% on slots, 0.1% on live casino, 0.2% on lottery games, and 0.05% on table games, credited daily.
Separately, regular betting activity earns points redeemable in the Promo Code Store for free bets and free spins, a way to turn ordinary wagering into extra value without needing a specific promotion to be running.
What Can Cancel a Bonus
- Depositing with cryptocurrency. Crypto doesn’t qualify for any deposit bonus, only mobile money, cards, and most e-wallets do.
- Withdrawing while a bonus is still active. Submitting a withdrawal request typically cancels whatever wagering progress is left, so finish wagering before you try to cash out.
- Missing the wagering deadline. Each bonus has its own window, 30 days for the sports welcome bonus, 24 hours for Lucky Friday, and missing it forfeits the offer entirely.
- Assuming a big win pays out in full. On nearly every bonus type, winning big only returns the original bonus amount, not the full winnings the wagering produced, a detail that catches people off guard more often than it should.
Play Responsibly
A bonus is designed to keep you playing longer, not to make winning more likely, and it’s worth treating it that way. Cameroon restricts betting to players 21 and older, and account settings let you cap deposits and stakes or step away entirely if a bonus (or anything else) starts pulling you further than you meant to go.
FAQ
Yes, they’re independent offers with separate bonus balances and separate wagering. Just keep in mind each one still needs its own wagering finished before you can touch that portion of the money.
Every bonus has a validity window, and missing it forfeits the offer rather than extending it. Check the Promotions section for a current replacement rather than trying to recover an expired one.
Free spins, yes, as part of the casino welcome package. A free bet isn’t part of either welcome bonus by default, but regular players earn them through Lucky Friday, the loyalty program, and other ongoing promotions.
Whichever matches how you actually plan to play. Picking the casino bonus to bet on sports (or the reverse) just means wagering an offer that doesn’t match your activity, which makes it harder to clear.
