Best Games to Clear Your 1xBet Wagering Requirements

Marcus Cole 8 years sports betting analyst, ex-bookmaker

Not all games are created equal when it comes to clearing your bonus. Play the wrong game and you'll need to wager 20x more than necessary. Literally.

I learned this after spending two days grinding blackjack -- which only contributes 5%. I'd wagered $2,400 in blackjack bets but only $120 counted toward my $3,500 requirement. That's when I realized I'd been doing it completely wrong. Two days. Gone.

So here's every game ranked by how fast it clears your wagering, plus the specific games I recommend by name.

Game Contribution Tier List

I've ranked every game category into tiers based on one thing: how fast they clear your wagering requirement.

Tier 1 (BEST for clearing) -- Play these

Tier 2 (DECENT but slower) -- Use only if you strongly prefer these

Tier 3 (AVOID while clearing) -- Do not play these during wagering

The gap between Tier 1 and Tier 3 is massive. Playing 1xGames, you need $1,750 in bets. Playing blackjack, you need $70,000. That's a 40x difference for the same bonus. Same bonus. Forty times more work. Let that sink in.

Best 1xGames for Wagering

1xGames is the category, but not every 1xGame is equally good for clearing wagering. Here are the ones I use.

1. Thimbles -- Ultra-simple, fast rounds (~3 seconds each), low variance. I can place 100 bets in 5 minutes. My balance barely moves, which is exactly what I want -- volume without wild swings.
2. Lucky Wheel -- Spin-and-win format, ~4 seconds per round. Slightly more variance than Thimbles but still manageable. If you're playing Lucky Wheel, the small-bet-many-spins approach works best. I once played 200 rounds and my balance moved $12 total.
3. Dice -- Simple over/under game. Very fast. Good for grinding through wagering quickly when you just want it done.
4. PF Roulette (1xGames version) -- Counts as 1xGames (200%) not regular roulette (10%). Make sure you're playing the 1xGames version, not the regular casino roulette. Check the game category in the lobby.
5. Heads or Tails -- 50/50 game, extremely fast, near-zero skill required. Pure volume play. Not exciting, but it clears wagering like nothing else.

Best Slots for Wagering

If you want more entertainment while clearing your bonus, slots are your Tier 1 alternative. Here are my picks.

1. Book of Sun (Booongo) -- 96.3% RTP, fast spin speed, simple mechanics. My go-to. Autoplay at $1/spin and let it run.
2. Lucky Lady's Charm Deluxe (Novomatic) -- 95.1% RTP, proven classic, consistent payout pattern.
3. Fruit Cocktail (Igrosoft) -- 95% RTP, extremely fast spins, low minimum bet. Perfect for grinding at $1-$2/spin.
4. Crazy Monkey (Igrosoft) -- 95.4% RTP, fun bonus round, fast base game. The bonus round can eat some time, but the RTP is solid.
5. Gonzo's Quest (NetEnt) -- 96% RTP, medium variance, engaging enough to not bore you over 3,000 spins.

What to look for in a wagering slot:

• High RTP (95%+): preserves your balance longer
• Fast spin speed: more bets per hour = faster clearing
• Low-medium variance: avoids long dry spells that drain your balance
• Autoplay feature: lets you grind without clicking 3,500 times

The Math Comparison

Same $100 bonus. Different game choices. Wildly different outcomes.

At $5 max bet and 5% contribution, you'd need to place 14,000 bets in 7 days. That's 2,000 bets per day. At one bet every 30 seconds (blackjack pace), that's 16.7 hours per day of continuous play. It's physically impossible.

I actually tried the roulette route once with a $50 bonus. Needed $17,500 in roulette bets. Got to $6,200 by day 5 and realized I'd need to play 12 hours straight to finish. Didn't make it. Lesson learned.

Variance Warning

High RTP doesn't mean you won't lose. It means you'll lose less ON AVERAGE over thousands of bets.

A 96% RTP slot returns $96 for every $100 wagered -- over millions of spins. In your 3,500-spin session, you might be up $150 or down $80. Both are normal. Budget your bankroll: if you're clearing a $100 bonus, your starting balance is $200 (deposit + bonus). Expect your balance to dip as low as $100-$120 during clearing. Don't panic. Keep spinning.

My Recommended Clearing Strategy

After clearing dozens of bonuses, here's the exact sequence I follow every time.

1. Start with 1xGames (days 1-3): Clear 60-70% of your wagering using Thimbles or Lucky Wheel at $3-$5/bet. The double credit means you're making fast progress.
2. Switch to slots (days 4-6): For variety and to break the monotony. Book of Sun or Fruit Cocktail at $3-$5/spin. You're already past the halfway point, so the pressure is lower.
3. Final push (day 6-7): Whatever game you're most comfortable with from Tier 1. If you're behind schedule, go back to 1xGames for the double credit.
4. Never touch table games while bonus is active. Not even for fun. The $5 max bet rule applies to ALL games, and one accidental over-bet on blackjack voids everything.

This strategy has worked for me on my last 8 casino bonuses. Average clearing time: 5.2 days. Average profit: $45 on a $100 bonus. Not gonna make you rich, but it's consistently free money.
