Serie A promotions usually reward one team's fans over everyone else's. 1xBet's "In Pursuit of the Scudetto" takes a different approach — every eligible bet on Serie A earns points regardless of which club you back, but picking one favorite team and sticking with it doubles your points on that team's matches and unlocks two extra bonuses along the way. The promotion runs across ten stages between August 2026 and May 2027, and the way points, divisions, stake brackets, and the two loyalty bonuses interact is worth understanding in detail before placing a single qualifying bet.
Placing the Bets That Count
Two bet types earn points, and both must be placed on Italy's Serie A:
- Single bets of at least 1.9 USD at odds of 1.6 or higher.
- Accumulator bets of at least 1.9 USD with 2 or more selections, each at odds of 1.4 or higher, where at least one selection is a Serie A match.
Both winning and losing bets earn points equally — settlement result doesn't matter, only the stake, odds, and market meeting the threshold. That matters practically: a player who places a 20 USD single at 1.65 on a Serie A match that ends up losing still banks the same points as if it had won, so the promotion rewards betting volume and discipline in bet construction rather than prediction accuracy.
Real-money stakes only qualify. Advancebets, bets funded with bonus money or promo codes, and refunded bets are excluded outright, and so are several specific bet structures: system bets, chain bets, Lucky bets, anti-accumulator bets, and sold bets. One exclusion is easy to miss because it sits inside an otherwise qualifying market — Home/Away bets are explicitly ruled out even when placed directly on a Serie A fixture that would otherwise meet the stake and odds thresholds. A player assuming any Serie A wager counts, including a simple Home/Away pick, would place bets all week and end the stage with zero points from them.
The Points Scale and the Favorite-Team Multiplier
Points scale with stake size across nine brackets, from a single point at the smallest qualifying stake up to 600 points for anything over 350 USD:
| Stake (USD) | Points Earned |
|---|---|
| 1.9 – 4.65 | 1 |
| 5 – 9.31 | 3 |
| 10 – 16.31 | 7 |
| 17 – 25.63 | 15 |
| 26 – 40.77 | 30 |
| 41 – 69.9 | 60 |
| 70 – 116.51 | 150 |
| 117 – 349.54 | 300 |
| Over 350 | 600 |
Before placing any bets, participants choose one favorite team, and every qualifying bet that includes that team earns double the points shown above — every other Serie A bet earns the standard, unmultiplied rate. The choice is made once and applies for the rest of the promotion for the purposes of the Tifosi bonus described below, so it's worth picking a team whose fixtures you actually plan to bet on regularly rather than a team chosen at random when signing up.
Where the Stake Brackets Create the Best Value
Because the point award jumps in fixed steps rather than scaling smoothly with stake size, the boundary between two brackets can be far more valuable than the bracket's midpoint. Comparing points earned per dollar staked at the low end of each bracket shows the effect clearly: a 1.9 USD bet earns roughly 0.53 points per dollar, a 26 USD bet earns about 1.15 points per dollar, and a bet placed right at the 117 USD threshold earns roughly 2.56 points per dollar — the single best ratio anywhere on the table, better even than the 41–69.9 USD or 70–116.51 USD brackets sitting just below it.
The clearest illustration is the jump across the 116.51/117 USD line itself. A 116.51 USD stake sits at the very top of the 70–116.51 bracket and earns 150 points. Increasing that stake by less than fifty cents, to 117 USD, moves it into the next bracket and doubles the award to 300 points for effectively the same money. The same pattern repeats at the top of the scale: a 349.54 USD stake earns 300 points, while a 350.01 USD stake — an increase of well under a dollar — earns 600 points. Neither jump requires meaningfully more capital, only awareness that the bracket boundary exists.
Worked example. A player sets Napoli as their favorite team, then places three qualifying bets across a stage. The first is a 12 USD single bet on a Napoli match at odds of 1.75: the stake falls in the 10–16.31 bracket for a base 7 points, doubled to 14 points because it's a Napoli bet. The second is a 30 USD three-selection accumulator that doesn't touch Napoli at all: the 26–40.77 bracket awards 30 points at the standard rate, with no multiplier applied. The third is a 117 USD single bet on a Napoli match at odds of 1.8, deliberately placed at the 117 USD bracket threshold rather than, say, 110 USD: that alone earns the 300-point award for the bracket, doubled to 600 points for being a Napoli bet — more points from one bet than the first two bets combined many times over. Total points across the three bets: 14 + 30 + 600 = 644, illustrating how a single bet placed just past a bracket boundary, on the favorite team, can dwarf several smaller bets placed carelessly below the line.
Five Divisions, Five Scudettos
Points are spent to win a Scudetto in each of five divisions, at fixed point costs:
| Division | Points Required |
|---|---|
| Scudetto Primo | 3 |
| Scudetto Classico | 5 |
| Scudetto Moderno | 8 |
| Scudetto Capitano | 10 |
| Scudetto Leggendario | 15 |
Every division pays the same flat 5 tickets for the corresponding stage's prize draw once its Scudetto is won — unlike a points-collection structure where reward size scales with the item's cost, here Scudetto Primo and Scudetto Leggendario are worth identical ticket value despite a five-fold difference in point price. That quietly makes the cheaper divisions the more efficient ones to prioritize if maximizing ticket count per point spent is the goal: three separate Scudetto Primo wins (9 points total) would need to be possible to compare directly against one Scudetto Leggendario win (15 points) for the same 15 tickets, though the divisions can only be won once each per sweep cycle, so in practice the real efficiency question is how many full five-division sweeps a player's point total can fund. Sweeping all five divisions costs 41 points combined (3+5+8+10+15). In the worked example above, the player's 644 points are enough to fund more than fifteen complete sweeps of all five divisions within a single stage (15 × 41 = 615 points, leaving 29 points banked toward a sixteenth partial run).
Champion of Italy and Tifosi: The Two Loyalty Bonuses
Two additional bonuses sit on top of the five-division structure:
- Champion of Italy bonus: winning a Scudetto in all five divisions during a single stage adds a flat 50 extra tickets to that stage's draw, on top of the 25 tickets (5 × 5) already earned from the individual Scudettos — 75 tickets in total for one complete sweep. This is credited every time a full sweep is completed, with no cap on how many times it can trigger within one stage, so a player who funds fifteen sweeps in a stage (as in the worked example above) would earn fifteen separate 50-ticket Champion of Italy bonuses, in addition to the Scudetto tickets from each of the 75 individual division wins across those sweeps.
- Tifosi bonus: keeping the same declared favorite team across every one of the ten stages earns a one-time bonus of 25 tickets, credited only at the final, tenth stage's draw. Switching favorite teams at any point during the promotion forfeits this bonus entirely, since it depends on consistency across the whole ten-stage run rather than any single stage — a player who backs Napoli for nine stages and switches to Inter for the tenth would lose the bonus even though nine-tenths of the promotion was played with a consistent choice.
Ten Stages and the Prize Categories
The promotion runs from 19 August 2026 through 30 May 2027, split into ten stages of roughly four weeks each — Stage 1 specifically runs from 19 August to 15 September 2026. Points, Scudetto progress, and ticket totals reset to zero at the start of every new stage, so a strong Stage 3 carries no advantage into Stage 4; every participant starts each stage on equal footing regardless of how they performed previously.
Each stage awards prizes across the same five categories, one per division, and the category structure stays consistent even as the specific hardware rotates. Every stage's Category 5 (Scudetto Leggendario) draw carries an identical 5,826 USD cash prize and the same 59/35/24 USD promo-code tiers (5, 10, and 20 codes respectively) — only the single flagship device prize changes stage to stage:
| Stage | Category 5 Flagship Device |
|---|---|
| 1 | Apple MacBook Pro 14" |
| 2 | Apple MacBook Air 13" |
| 3 | Apple iPad Pro 13" |
| 4 | Apple iPad Pro 13" |
| 5 | Apple iPhone Air |
| 6 | Hisense PT1 projector |
| 7 | Apple iPad Pro 13" |
| 8 | Apple MacBook Air 13" |
| 9 | Apple iPad Pro 13" |
| 10 | Apple iPad Pro 13" |
The lower categories follow the same logic of a fixed promo-code and quantity structure with a rotating headline item. Category 1 (Scudetto Primo) always includes 3 official Serie A match balls and a rotating wearable or audio device — a Samsung Galaxy Watch8 in Stage 1, Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones in Stage 2, an Apple Watch Series 11 in Stage 3. Category 4 (Scudetto Capitano) consistently pairs a flagship smartphone or console with a second premium device, such as a Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra alongside a PlayStation 5 Pro bundle in Stage 1, or an Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max alongside a Steam Deck in Stages 6 and 10. Draws are held within seven days of each stage ending, winners are selected at random from every participant holding at least one ticket in that stage, and results are published on the promotion page. Winners must then email smm.new@1xbet-team.com within one week of the draw results being published to claim a prize — prizes are not exchangeable for other items or a cash equivalent, and missing the claim window forfeits the prize entirely.
Wagering a Promo Code Prize
A promo code prize is credited within 24 hours of the draw and must be wagered within 48 hours of being received. The requirement is a live or pre-match football accumulator with at least 3 selections, each at odds of 1.4 or higher — the accumulator needs to be built entirely from football, unlike the single-sport restriction on how points themselves are earned (which is limited to Serie A specifically). The size of the promo code changes the practical value of clearing this requirement: a 24 USD code staked across three selections at 1.40, 1.45, and 1.50 (combined odds of roughly 3.05) returns close to 73 USD if all three legs win, while a 59 USD code — the top tier awarded in Category 5 — at the same combined odds returns around 180 USD, all within the same 48-hour window.
Eligibility, Data Consent, and Fair-Use Rules
Participants must be 18 or older, registered, opted in to sports betting bonus offers in Account Settings, and have a complete profile: full name, an activated mobile number, email address, and country and city of residence. Taking part also means consenting to 1xBet collecting and processing personal data for running the promotion — including name, date and place of birth, photos or video, phone number, and passport details where relevant — and potentially using that data or winner-related media for advertising purposes. Participants can withdraw this consent at any time before being declared a winner, though doing so before a specific draw removes them from that draw.
The promotion is limited to one entrant per family, IP address, device, and account, and using multiple accounts to boost draw odds counts as multi-accounting and can lead to disqualification and forfeiture of any prize already won. 1xBet can amend, suspend, or cancel the promotion, or decline to award a prize, at its sole discretion and without advance notice, and any dispute is resolved by the organizer's decision, which is treated as final.
