Most 1xBet esports promotions cover one discipline. 1xBet's Riot Race runs two — League of Legends and Valorant — across eleven separate races between mid-July and December 2026, each with its own guaranteed free bet and its own prize draw. The ticket math here is unusually forgiving compared to several other 1xBet esports promotions, and two of the featured tournament races quietly overlap on the calendar in a way that can work in a bettor's favor.
Eleven Races Across Two Disciplines
The promotion is built from three race types, each confirmed separately by pressing "Take part" on that specific race's page:
| Race Type | Count | Schedule |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly League of Legends races | 4 | August, September, October, November 2026 |
| Monthly Valorant races | 4 | August, September, October, November 2026 |
| League of Legends tournament races | 2 | Esports World Cup 2026 (15–19 Jul), 2026 World Championship (1 Oct–1 Nov) |
| Valorant tournament race | 1 | Championship (24 Sep–18 Oct) |
Each of these 11 races runs independently, with its own ticket pool, its own guaranteed free bet, and its own prize draw at the end. A customer isn't limited to one race at a time — the monthly League of Legends and Valorant races for the same month run in parallel, so a customer betting on both disciplines during August, for instance, is building two entirely separate ticket totals simultaneously.
A calendar overlap worth noticing. The Valorant Championship tournament race (24 September – 18 October) sits inside both the September and October monthly Valorant races. Since each race is confirmed and tracked independently, a bet placed on a Valorant Championship match during that overlapping window could plausibly generate tickets toward both the tournament race and that month's regular Valorant race at once — provided participation was confirmed separately in each. That effectively doubles the value of betting during that specific stretch, compared to betting on a Valorant match outside any tournament window.
Which Bets Earn Tickets
Tickets require a minimum 3 USD stake, and two bet structures qualify:
- Single bets at odds of 1.50 or higher, on the relevant discipline or tournament.
- Accumulator bets with 2 or more selections, each at odds of 1.40 or higher, where at least one selection is from the featured discipline or tournament.
Only real-money, settled bets count, and both wins and losses qualify. Bets funded with bonus accounts or promo codes, canceled or sold bets, Advancebets, and refunded bets are all excluded.
How Stake Size Converts Into Tickets
| Stake (USD) | Tickets |
|---|---|
| 3 | 1 |
| 5 or more | 3 |
| 10 | 10 |
| 20 | 25 |
| 40 | 60 |
| 60 | 90 |
| 100 | 180 |
| 120 or more | 360 |
This table tops out much lower than several other 1xBet esports promotions, which often scale all the way up to 1,000 tickets for stakes over 400–450 USD. Here, the entire ceiling is reached at just 120 USD — a reflection of how modest the guaranteed free bet thresholds are by comparison.
The Guaranteed Free Bet: Surprisingly Easy to Max Out
Each race pays a guaranteed free bet based on the number of tickets collected during that specific race, on a clean, evenly spaced scale:
| Tickets Collected | Guaranteed Free Bet |
|---|---|
| 20 | 5 USD |
| 40 | 10 USD |
| 60 | 15 USD |
| 80 | 20 USD |
| 100 or more | 25 USD |
Every 20 additional tickets adds exactly 5 USD to the guaranteed bonus, all the way to the 25 USD ceiling. Because a single 120 USD bet already produces 360 tickets — more than triple the 100 needed for the top tier — reaching the maximum guaranteed free bet in any one race doesn't require sustained betting volume the way similar mechanics do elsewhere. A single 100 USD bet (180 tickets) alone comfortably clears the 100-ticket threshold on its own.
Worked example. A customer places one 40 USD bet on a League of Legends match during August's monthly race. That stake falls at the 40 USD bracket for 60 tickets — enough to clear the 60-ticket threshold and earn a 15 USD guaranteed free bet for that race, credited within 24 hours of the race ending, from a single qualifying bet.
Only one guaranteed free bet can be earned per race, but since there are 11 separate races across the promotion, a customer active across all of them could earn up to 11 separate guaranteed free bets over the full period. Once credited, each free bet must be wagered within 72 hours through an accumulator of 3 or more selections, each at odds of 1.50 or higher.
The Prize Draws: General Pool vs. Top 50 Superprize
Every ticket-holder in a race is entered into that race's general prize draw. Separately, whoever finishes in the top 50 by ticket count for that race is also entered into a Top 50 Superprize draw with a richer prize tier. The monthly races for each discipline reuse the same prize fund every month, while the tournament races each get their own distinct, larger prize pool.
| Race | Superprize Highlights (Top 50) | General Draw Highlights |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly League of Legends (×4) | MacBook Pro M5, Secretlab Titan Evo chair, AirPods Max ×3, 50 USD code ×5 | Razer Ornata V3 X keyboard ×10, G640 mat ×10, 15/10/5 USD codes |
| Monthly Valorant (×4) | Xiaomi 17 Ultra, Secretlab Titan Evo (Reyna), AirPods Max ×3, 50 USD code ×5 | Razer Goliathus mouse pad ×10, Basilisk V3 mouse ×10, 15/10/5 USD codes |
| Esports World Cup 2026 | Alienware Aurora, MacBook Pro M5, iPhone 17 Pro Max, PS5 Slim ×4, 100 USD code ×8 | Fnatic keyboard, Razer Naga mouse, Logitech headset, mouse pad ×10, 30 USD code ×10 |
| 2026 World Championship | Alienware Area-51, MacBook Pro M5, iPhone 17 Pro Max, PS5 Slim ×4, 100 USD code ×8 | Identical to Esports World Cup's general draw |
| Valorant Championship | ACTINA ENDORFY PC, MSI Stealth 14 Studio, Galaxy S25 Ultra, Xbox Series X ×4, 100 USD code ×8 | Logitech headset, HyperX mic, Razer mouse pad, Viper mouse ×10, 30 USD code ×10 |
A prestige tier hiding in the fine print. The Esports World Cup and 2026 World Championship prize funds are nearly identical line for line — same MacBook, same iPhone, same PlayStation count, same promo code structure — except for one detail: the flagship gaming PC. Esports World Cup winners receive an Alienware Aurora, while World Championship winners receive an Alienware Area-51, generally the more premium model in Alienware's desktop lineup. Since the World Championship is League of Legends' single biggest event of the year, this small but deliberate upgrade suggests 1xBet quietly scales its top prize to match a tournament's prestige, even when the rest of the prize list stays identical.
Draws and Claiming
Each race has its own draw date, generally within a few days of that race ending — for example, August's monthly races (both disciplines) draw on 2 September 2026, while the 2026 World Championship race draws on 3 November 2026, the same day as November's monthly League of Legends draw. Winners are chosen at random from ticket holders, a participant can win only one prize per draw, and winning in one race's draw never excludes participation in any other race. Free bet prizes from the draws are credited automatically within 48 hours, issued as a promo code checkable in My Account.
Eligibility and Fair-Use Rules
Participants need a complete profile — full name, an activated mobile number, email address, and city and country of residence — and must opt in to bonus offers in Account Settings before confirming participation in any race. The offer is limited to one bonus per account, family, IP address, household, and PC. 1xBet reserves the right to review transaction records for strategies it considers abusive and reclaim the bonus if it finds them, to request KYC documents or photo/video identity verification at any time, and to amend, cancel, or renew the offer at any time without prior notice.
