Opening an account with any betting site is quite easy and in most cases only takes a few minutes to complete it. In fact some bookmarkers like 1xBet, offer a one-click registration for their customers. It’s just that simple.
Once you click on the registration button, the system will generate a random login information (username and password), which you can change later. This randomly generated login details can get you started with your account and you can start staking on it.
Other bookmakers, like hollywoodbet, sunbet, use the standard registration process but that doesn’t make it a long process. It’s pretty fast and easy and within 2-4 minutes you’re done.
You’ll be asked to input your name, DOB, address, phone number and your email address. And once you’re able to do that, you’re in for a surprise.

So whichever betting site you choose to commit your money to, you can be sure of an easy account opening.
Now, you’ll be asked to verify your account details you’ve provided. This is to no that you’re human and at the same time real. So while some bookmarkers will send an SMS confirmation code to your registered mobile number, some will prefer that you verify through the email address you provided. Verification is a one click process that shouldn’t take you more than 30s – I mean between opening your email and clicking on the verification link.
After you must have verified your account the next step is to choose a payment method. Make sure you have money in your account before you even begin the registration process.
