Can't access 1xBet? This page explains why blocks happen, how long they last, and what you can do about it.
"Blocked" usually means you can't connect, not that the app is broken or banned.
| What You See | What's Actually Happening | Type of Block |
|---|---|---|
| App opens but shows blank screen | Can't connect to servers | Network block |
| "Connection error" message | Server unreachable | Network block |
| Loading forever | Data requests blocked | Network block |
| Website doesn't open | Domain blocked by ISP | DNS/ISP block |
| App won't install | Not a block — technical issue | Not a block |
| App crashes | Not a block — app/phone issue | Not a block |
| Issue | Signs It's a Block | Signs It's NOT a Block |
|---|---|---|
| Can't connect | Other apps work fine, only 1xBet fails | All apps have connection issues |
| Won't load | Works on VPN, doesn't work without | Doesn't work even with VPN |
| Error message | "Connection refused" or timeout | "App stopped" or crash |

Blocks are usually at the network level — your ISP or mobile carrier restricts access.
| Cause | How It Works | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| ISP-level blocking | Internet provider blocks access to certain domains | Days to weeks (varies) |
| DNS blocking | Domain name resolution blocked | Until you change DNS |
| Government directive | PTA instructs ISPs to block | Indefinite (but often partial) |
| Network congestion | Not really a block — just slow | Hours (peak times) |
| Server issues | 1xBet servers down (rare) | Hours (affects everyone) |
| Provider | Block Frequency | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| PTCL (landline) | More common | Large ISP, follows directives closely |
| Jazz/Mobilink | Sometimes | Mobile data varies by region |
| Telenor | Sometimes | Generally stable |
| Zong | Less common | Often more accessible |
| StormFiber/Nayatel | Varies | Fiber providers differ |

Usually not. Most blocks in Pakistan are temporary or inconsistent.
| Type | Typical Duration | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| Temporary ISP block | Hours to days | Resolves on its own |
| DNS-based block | Ongoing | Change DNS to bypass |
| Directive-based block | Weeks to months | VPN or wait for policy change |
| Partial block | Varies | Try different access methods |
Several methods can help you bypass network-level blocks.
This often works for DNS-based blocks.
| If This Doesn't Work | Try This |
|---|---|
| Home WiFi (PTCL) | Mobile data (Jazz, Telenor, Zong) |
| Mobile data | Different WiFi network |
| One SIM | Different SIM/carrier |

No. Network blocks are not app problems — reinstalling won't help.

| Different ISP | No workarounds needed | May not be practical |
| Desktop (with VPN) | Full website access | Not mobile |
