Prerequisites
1xbet.exe in firewall for outbound HTTPS.Install workflow
Grab the EXE via the button above or the PC hub mirrors. Run the SHA-256 check before opening.
Right-click → “Run as administrator” to allow driver + registry entries. Decline if Windows requests legacy drivers unrelated to 1xBet.
If the installer fails, right-click the EXE → Properties → Compatibility → “Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows 7”.
After installation open the client → Settings → Updates → Manual. This prevents unsupported auto-updates from replacing the Win7 build.
Performance
Client → Settings → Interface → disable animations. Windows 7 → Personalize → turn off Aero to free VRAM.
Live → Video → Off. Streams use HLS that often fails on Win7. Use mobile or browser for live matches.
Client cache folder: %AppData%\1xBet\cache. Schedule weekly cleanup so logs do not exceed 500 MB.
