No stories yetPartner books by market
1xBet takes customers in 14 of the tracked markets, the widest footprint among partner books. The table lists the partner books with the most markets, the licence each one holds and the stories tagged to it.
A book’s own page shows its best-price count and payout for 4 November 2026, the matches where it holds the best price and every story about it. Books outside the partner list appear on the bookmakers page as news subjects.
How country pages work
Every country page is rebuilt from the same 4 feeds each day: the regulator record kept in the site’s own files, the partner books whose licence list includes the market, the fixtures of the national leagues mapped to it and the stories the desk tagged to it.
Betting news by country therefore reads the same way in Lagos, London and Lima: regulator first, books second, matches third, stories last. Each card above opens that page, and a market with 0 partner books keeps its page for the regulator, the matches and the stories.
A market’s page keeps its address when its regulator or partner list changes.
Questions about country pages
Which countries have a page?
57 markets across 4 groups, from Nigeria and Kenya to the UK, Brazil and Australia.
What is on a country page?
The regulator and licence regime in 1 paragraph, the partner books active in the market, today’s fixtures from the national leagues with best prices, the day’s picks from those leagues and every story tagged to the country, newest first.
How is a story tagged to a country?
The desk tags a story to a country when its headline or first 2 paragraphs name the market, its regulator or its leagues. A story about a group result with 10 markets in a list earns no country tag.
Why do some countries show no matches today?
Matches come from the fixture feed for the national leagues mapped to that country. Off-season weeks, international breaks and weekdays in lower leagues leave the count at 0 until the next round.
