1xBet Mirror & Access Update — April 2026
Summary of Changes (April 2026)
April 2026 was a busy month — two mirrors replaced, one ISP started blocking in Nigeria, and NordVPN pushed a server update that improved Curacao routing by about 15%.
Quick digest:
- 2 new mirror links added (March 14 and March 18)
- 2 mirrors expired and removed (March 8 and March 12)
- Glo (Nigeria) confirmed blocking 1xBet since late February
- Jio (India) updated SNI filtering — 2 previously working mirrors affected
- NordVPN Curacao server speed improved from 42 to 48 Mbps from Mumbai
- 1xBet app update March 15 — fixed Android 14 login loop
Bottom line: 3 mirrors currently working globally. India and Nigeria got harder. VPN remains the most reliable fallback.
New Mirror Links Added
On March 14, we added a new secondary mirror after former link #3 stopped resolving. Tested from India (Jio 4G, Airtel broadband), Nigeria (MTN), and Brazil (Claro) — working across all tested ISPs and locations.
On March 18, a new backup mirror was verified and added to the list. This one seems to have faster routing to Asian servers — page load from Mumbai was 1.8 seconds compared to 2.3 seconds on the primary.

Expired / Dead Links Removed
On March 12, former link #3 stopped resolving entirely. DNS lookup returns NXDOMAIN — likely blocked at the registrar level or domain expired. This mirror had been working since November 2025 (4 months, pretty good lifespan).
On March 8, the .xyz mirror that had been reliable since November 2025 finally got caught. Blocked on Jio first, then PTCL added it within two days, then Airtel followed a week later. Classic cascade blocking pattern.
Average lifespan of these two mirrors: about 4 months. That's slightly above average — most mirrors last 2-4 months before retirement.
Country Status Changes
India — Jio Block Update
Jio appears to have updated their SNI filtering around March 10. Two mirrors that were previously bypassing Jio's filter stopped working. The remaining mirrors still load on Airtel and BSNL without issues.
So here's the situation for Indian users right now: if you're on Jio, only 2 of our 3 mirrors work. If you're on Airtel, all 3 work. BSNL is BSNL — works in some circles, doesn't in others. BSNL in UP blocks it, BSNL in Kerala doesn't. Go figure.
For Jio users specifically: if mirrors aren't loading, NordVPN with NordLynx protocol is your best option. 45 Mbps from Mumbai, 2.3 second page loads. I've been testing this combination daily from a Jio connection all month.
Nigeria — Glo Now Blocking
The big news this month. Glo started blocking 1xBet around February 25-28. This is significant because Glo was the last major Nigerian ISP that wasn't blocking.
When I was in Lagos last November, MTN was blocking the main site but Glo wasn't — I was telling everyone to use Glo. That recommendation is now outdated. As of April 2026, every major Nigerian ISP blocks 1xBet to some degree.
MTN: blocked since 2024. Glo: blocked since late February 2026. Airtel NG: partial — blocks in Lagos and Abuja, works in some other states. 9mobile: intermittent, least consistent.
My updated recommendation for Nigeria: VPN is now the default. Mirrors still work on some ISPs but the window is shrinking.
VPN Performance Updates
NordVPN updated their Curacao server cluster around March 8. Speed from Mumbai improved from 42 Mbps to 48 Mbps. 1xBet page load dropped from 2.5 seconds to 2.3 seconds. Good improvement.
ExpressVPN remains fastest in raw speed (62 Mbps from Mumbai) but NordVPN is closing the gap on actual page load times due to better routing.
No new VPN detection issues encountered this month. All three recommended VPNs (NordVPN, ExpressVPN, Surfshark) continue to work without triggering any "VPN detected" errors on 1xBet.
App Version Updates
1xBet pushed an app update on March 15 that fixed the login loop issue on Android 14. If you were experiencing repeated login failures on newer Android devices, update immediately.
The update also improved loading speed on slow connections and fixed a crash that some Samsung Galaxy S24 users were experiencing. File size remained around 55MB.
What to Expect in April 2026
Watching the Jio situation closely — they've been getting more aggressive with their SNI filtering and may expand to more mirror patterns. If you're on Jio, I'd recommend having NordVPN as a backup sooner rather than later.
Brazil's regulatory timeline under Lei 14.790 suggests possible licensing decisions in April. This could go either way — 1xBet getting a local license would mean blocks get lifted, but stricter enforcement during the process could mean more blocks temporarily.
Fresh VPN speed tests from two new locations (Dhaka and Nairobi) coming in the April update.
April update will be published by April 5, 2026. Bookmark the blog or check /working-links/ for real-time updates.
