- You rarely travel and the listing stays visible in your region.
Switching guide
Move between APK and Play Store safely
Play Store → APK
- Open 1xBet → Profile → Settings → Backup data.
- Uninstall the Play Store version (keeps your account in the cloud).
- Download the verified APK from /link/ and install.
- Sign in, restore settings, enable biometric login.
APK → Play Store
- Check if the listing is visible again (search “1xBet” in Google Play).
- Update to the latest APK first so version numbers match.
- Install via Play Store. Android will replace the APK build in place.
- Disable “Unknown sources” afterwards to lock down the phone.
Heads-up
Both versions share the same package ID (com.bet1xbet.mobile), so your login, bets, and balance stay intact across switches.
Update cadence
How often each channel releases builds
Troubleshooting
Typical issues when mixing both versions
“App not installed” error
Remove the existing version first, clear Play Store cache, then install the new channel (APK or Play).
Different version codes
Check Settings → Apps → 1xBet to confirm the build number. Update whichever version lags behind.
Play Protect keeps warning
Compare the APK hash, tap “Install anyway,” and re-enable Play Protect afterwards. Persistent warnings mean you downloaded the wrong file.
Auto-update disabled
If you sideload, Google Play pauses automatic updates. Re-enable them after switching back to the store build.
FAQ
Play Store vs APK questions
No. They share the same codebase. The APK just arrives earlier because it isn’t waiting on Google’s staged rollout.
Yes. Back up data, uninstall, then install the APK. Your account lives on the server, so nothing is lost.
Both are safe if sourced correctly. APK safety depends on hash verification; Play Store safety depends on Google’s automated scans.
Google Play updates automatically once the rollout reaches Bangladesh. APK builds require you to re-download, but you get new features first.
