Every serious sports bettor eventually runs into the same problem: a big single deposit rarely earns the same reward as several smaller, more disciplined ones. 1xBet built an entire recurring promotion around that idea. It is called the Conor McGregor Weekly Reward, and instead of a flat welcome match, it pays a free bet calculated from the average size of your deposits across a full calendar week. The mechanic is simple to describe but easy to misjudge in practice, so this guide walks through exactly how the numbers work, who qualifies, and where players most often lose value without realizing it.
What the Conor McGregor Weekly Reward Actually Pays
The offer runs on a rolling weekly cycle from 20 July 2026 (12:00 +3 UTC) through 20 November 2026 (23:59 +3 UTC). Each calendar week — Monday 00:00 +3 UTC to Sunday 23:59 +3 UTC — is treated as its own independent round. If you make qualifying deposits during that window, you receive a free bet worth 50% of the average amount of those deposits, capped at 300 USD.
Two numbers matter more than any others in the fine print:
| Rule | Value |
|---|---|
| Minimum deposit per transaction | 5 USD |
| Minimum number of deposits required | 5 |
| Free bet size | 50% of average eligible deposit |
| Maximum free bet | 300 USD |
| Minimum free bet paid out | 1 USD |
| Free bet validity after credit | 24 hours |
The detail that trips up the most players is the second row. The promotional headline talks about depositing "at least 5 USD," which reads like a single-deposit threshold. The Terms and Conditions add a separate, stricter condition: you must make at least five deposits during the week, not one deposit of at least five dollars. A player who deposits a single 200 USD payment on Monday and nothing else will not qualify, no matter how large that one deposit is — only the average of five or more separate, eligible transactions counts.
Activating the Offer Before You Deposit Anything
Because the bonus is calculated automatically at the end of each week, the setup steps have to be completed before any deposits are made, not after.
- Register a 1xBet account through the website or the app.
- Open the offer page and press the Take part button — deposits made before opting in are not counted retroactively.
- Go to Account Settings – Bonuses and confirm you are opted in to participate in bonus offers generally.
- Make sure your profile has a full name, an activated mobile phone number, an email address, and a country of residence on file — an incomplete profile blocks eligibility even if the deposits themselves qualify.
- Deposit at least five times during the calendar week, each transaction at or above 5 USD, using an eligible payment method.
Free bets are credited automatically every Monday, based on the deposits recorded during the previous week. There is no manual claim step at that stage — the system settles the round on its own.
Which Deposits Don't Count
Not every payment method feeds into the weekly average. 1xBet excludes:
- Deposits made from a cryptocurrency account
- Deposits made using a cryptocurrency payment method
- Deposits made through a mobile EPOS terminal
A player who relies mainly on crypto funding should expect this promotion to contribute little or nothing to their weekly total, since those deposits are removed from the calculation entirely before the average is worked out.
How the 50% Average Deposit Calculation Works in Practice
The formula itself is straightforward: add up all eligible deposits made between Monday and Sunday, divide by the number of deposits, then take 50% of that average. Where it gets interesting is at the two ends of the deposit scale.
A typical mid-range week. Suppose a player makes five deposits over the week: 20 USD, 15 USD, 25 USD, 10 USD, and 30 USD. That totals 100 USD across five transactions, for an average deposit of 20 USD. Fifty percent of that average is 10 USD — the free bet credited the following Monday.
Chasing the cap. To reach the full 300 USD free bet, the average deposit needs to hit exactly 600 USD, since 50% of 600 is 300. A player who makes five deposits of 600 USD each (3,000 USD total, average 600 USD) receives the maximum free bet the promotion allows — depositing more than that adds nothing further, since the reward is capped regardless of how high the average climbs.
The minimum-bonus clause is effectively a formality. The terms state that if the calculated bonus falls below 1 USD, no free bet is credited at all. Working through the numbers shows this almost never triggers under the stated rules: because the minimum qualifying deposit is 5 USD and at least five deposits are required, the lowest possible average a qualifying player can produce is 5 USD — and 50% of 5 USD is 2.50 USD, already above the 1 USD floor. In other words, any player who technically qualifies for the promotion at all is mathematically guaranteed to clear the minimum payout threshold; the 1 USD rule mainly protects 1xBet against edge cases outside the deposit minimums rather than describing an outcome a normal participant will ever hit.
Wagering the Free Bet: The Accumulator Requirement
Once credited, the free bet does not behave like cash — it comes with a specific staking rule, and it expires fast.
- It must be staked on a pre-match or live accumulator.
- The accumulator needs at least 4 selections.
- Every selection must carry odds of 1.60 or higher.
- Bets built from totals or handicap markets do not count toward the requirement, even if they sit inside a qualifying accumulator alongside other markets.
- The free bet is voided if it isn't wagered within 24 hours of being credited.
Take the 10 USD free bet from the mid-range example above. Built into a four-leg accumulator with odds of 1.65, 1.70, 1.80, and 1.60, the combined price comes to roughly 8.08. A 10 USD stake at those combined odds returns close to 80.80 USD if every leg wins — a meaningful multiplier on a free bet, but one that depends on getting all four independent outcomes right within a single day, since the promo code itself expires in 24 hours regardless of whether a bet has been placed yet.
Fair-Use Rules and Account Restrictions
1xBet applies its standard multi-accounting safeguards to this promotion specifically. Only one Conor McGregor Weekly Reward bonus is permitted per customer, household, address, shared device, shared IP address, or shared account detail — including a shared email, bank account, card, or e-wallet used across more than one account. Identity checks can be requested at any point: 1xBet reserves the right to ask for KYC documents, a photograph of the customer holding their ID with their face visible, or a phone or video verification call, and failure to provide these forfeits both the bonus and any winnings generated from it. The operator also reserves the right to review transaction logs for patterns it considers abusive and to revoke the bonus retroactively if it finds them, and it may amend, suspend, or cancel the promotion at any time without advance notice.
The offer cannot be combined with other active promotions, and it is worth noting that participation is capped at one free bet per player per week even if a player's deposit pattern would technically produce multiple qualifying averages across different sub-periods of the same week — the calculation is always done once, over the full Monday-to-Sunday window.
