Why 1xBet App May Be Blocked in Pakistan

Can't access 1xBet? This page explains why blocks happen, how long they last, and what you can do about it.

Quick Solutions When Blocked

  1. Switch networks — try WiFi if on mobile data (or vice versa)
  2. Change DNS — use Google (8.8.8.8) or Cloudflare (1.1.1.1)
  3. Wait and retry — blocks are often temporary (hours to days)
  4. Try VPN — bypasses network-level restrictions
  5. Use mirror site — alternative URLs may work

What Does It Mean When the App Is "Blocked"?

"Blocked" usually means you can't connect, not that the app is broken or banned.

Types of "Blocked" Experiences

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

Block vs Other Issues

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

Why Do Blocks Happen From Time to Time?

Blocks are usually at the network level — your ISP or mobile carrier restricts access.

Common Causes of Blocks

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)

Why Blocks Are Inconsistent

Who Gets Blocked More Often

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
Key insight: If your friend on a different ISP can access 1xBet and you can't, it's a network block, not an app problem.

Is the Block Permanent?

Usually not. Most blocks in Pakistan are temporary or inconsistent.

Block Duration Patterns

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
