Bet insurance in the 1xBet bookmaker helps reduce risks and minimize losses if the prediction turns out to be unsuccessful. With its help, you can get part of the lost money back. Insurance can be purchased for single bets and accumulators. It is not available for other types of multiple bets.
What Is Bet Insurance
Insurance is a paid service offered by the 1xBet bookmaker designed to minimize player risk. You can pay to insure the entire bet slip or part of it. The cost of insurance depends on the odds of the insured event and is calculated automatically when the option is requested.
To quickly understand how it works, let’s look at an example. You placed a bet with odds of 1.9 for 1500 rubles and then decided to insure it fully. The company offers to do this for 4.8 USD. You agree. 4.8 USD are deducted from your account.
Here are the possible scenarios in this case:
- Win. You won 15 *1.9 = 28.5 USD. The net profit is 28.5 – 15 = 13.5 USD.
- Loss. You lost 15 USD, but the bookmaker refunded it to your account thanks to the insurance. The net loss is 4.8 USD.
- Refund. You received both your stake and the insurance back. No losses.
Thus, when an insured bet wins, you earn less than what the odds would normally pay — that’s the downside. But the upside is that in case of a loss, you would get your stake back and lose only the smaller insurance amount.
You can insure the same bet several times for different portions, as long as the total coverage does not exceed 100%. For example, the situation in the match intensified, and you kept insuring yourself against losing a large amount. You ended up with three insurances: 10%, 30%, and 50%.
1xBet does not guarantee that the service is available for all bets and warns that it may sometimes be inactive due to technical issues. This can happen, for instance, during peak load periods of major sporting events such as the final stages of the Champions League, the Olympics, or the World Championships.
How to Insure a Bet in 1xBet
- Go to your bet history and open the bet slip you want to insure.
- Click on the “Insure” button. In the window, specify the percentage of the bet to be insured.
- Then lick “Check Cost” to update the amount.
- Click “Insure” to confirm the action. If the insurance amount has changed, a warning will appear in the window, and you’ll need to refresh the cost. If the data is correct, a message will appear confirming that the insurance has been completed.
To check whether the bet slip is insured, open it fully in your bet history. The status will be displayed at the bottom, next to the sale and print buttons.
