1xBet enters 2026 with more global recognition than any other bookmaker targeting Central Asian markets. The operator's performance across award ceremonies, sponsorship deals, and product development over the past 12 months paints a clear picture of a company investing heavily in long-term growth.
Awards and Industry Recognition
The company collected Mobile Sports Product of the Year at the 2025 International Gaming Awards and Best Crypto Operator at the SiGMA Eurasia Awards. It followed these with nominations in five categories at SiGMA Africa 2026 (held March 3-5 in Nairobi), where it also showcased its affiliate programme to regional partners. The Best Sponsorship Programme award came in November 2025 for the 1xCup initiative, which has become one of the operator's flagship community engagement tools.
Sponsorship Portfolio
1xBet extended its partnership with Paris Saint-Germain for three additional seasons, running through 2026. Beyond football, the company signed deals with the ATP Challenger Tour (October 2025), the Billie Jean King Cup (through 2026), Sunrisers Eastern Cape for SA20 2026, and FIBA as a global partner through 2027. On the esports side, partnerships with 9z Team (September 2025, two-year deal) and Aurora demonstrate the operator's push into competitive gaming, a segment growing rapidly in Uzbekistan.
Mobile App Overhaul
The 2025-2026 mobile update cycle brought meaningful improvements. The redesigned iOS app and a new APK build for Android added in-match analytics including player ratings and situational statistics. Multi-LIVE functionality received an upgrade, and the Bet Builder tool now supports more complex combinations. Dynamic Cash Out timing has improved, and the app runs lighter on battery, according to technical reviews. For Uzbek users, the app continues to support UzCard and Humo payment integrations alongside the Uzbek language interface.
What This Means for Uzbek Bettors
1xBet's investment in global infrastructure and mobile technology benefits Uzbek users directly. The platform remains one of few that offers a full Uzbek-language experience with local payment methods. With Uzbekistan's NAPP regulatory framework still awaiting its first licensed operators as of April 2026, 1xBet continues to operate via its international licence. The company's track record of obtaining CIS-region licences in Armenia, Azerbaijan, and other markets suggests a domestic Uzbek application remains possible once the licensing process opens fully.

Why This Matters
Regulatory changes in Uzbekistan directly affect which operators are available, how deposits and withdrawals work, and what consumer protections exist. Staying informed helps you make safer betting decisions.
