On both the website and mobile app of 1xBet, hockey betting is available in the Popular Sports section.
In this quick guide, we’ll walk you through how to place bets on hockey events and get the most out of the experience.
❄️ Hockey is the number one winter sport - and its appeal goes far beyond cold climates. Even in tropical countries, it has a loyal following. That’s why top hockey matches always come with competitive odds, making them attractive for both new and experienced bettors.
A league is a group of professional teams that compete within a single structured tournament. Most regular seasons run from mid-autumn to mid-spring, followed by an intense playoff stage, where the season champion is crowned.
📅 Playoff schedules can vary - for example, in the NHL, the Stanley Cup winner is usually determined in late June.
Below are some of the world’s top hockey leagues and the number of participating clubs:
🌍 League | 🏒 Number of Teams |
|---|---|
NHL (North America) | 32 |
Liiga (Finland) | 16 |
SHL (Sweden) | 14 |
📌 These leagues feature the strongest hockey teams globally and attract millions of fans and bettors each season.
In tennis - and in sports in general - championships (tournaments) come in various formats. They can be:
International tournaments
National championships
National team competitions
Cup tournaments
Alongside national and multinational events, there are also official competitions for national teams, such as:
The Olympic Games – held every 4 years and considered one of the most prestigious tournaments
World Cups – organized annually for both adult national teams and junior squads across different age groups
📌 These events gather global attention and often feature the highest level of skill and competition.
The process of placing a bet on the reliable 1xBet betting platform works the same way for all sportsbook events. Follow these 8 simple steps:
📝 Sign up or log in to one of the top online hockey betting sites
💳 Make a deposit
⏱️ Choose Pre-match bets or Live betting mode
🌍 Go to the Hockey section and select the country and tournament
🎯 Pick a match and choose the outcome
📈 Click one of the available hockey odds
💸 Enter your stake in the bet slip
✅ Confirm your prediction
🧾 To place long-term (outright) bets, head to the corresponding section in the left-hand menu and repeat steps 4–8.
➕ Want to place an accumulator? Just add 2 or more outcomes from different events to your bet slip.
If regular time ends in a draw, the slip is calculated based on the overtime result.
A thoughtful analysis improves your chances of placing a successful bet. Here’s what to look at before the game:
Tournament standings and recent team performance
Physical and mental form of key players, especially team leaders
Head-to-head history between the teams
Home and away stats
Match calendar and fatigue factor
Tactical formations and team strategy
Motivation and goals for the season
Injuries and current roster updates
Travel and logistics
The importance of the match
At the beginning of the season, consider roster changes and team reshuffles.
📣 Don’t overlook factors like coach decisions, fan support in the stands, and the financial health of the club — they can all tip the balance.
Top hockey fixtures can offer up to 1,000 betting options, spread across a wide range of markets. Here are the main types:
💵 Moneyline (W1XW2) – bets on the outcome in regular time
🥅 W1/W2 for the full match – includes overtime and shootouts
🛡️ Double chance (1X, 12, X2) – safer bets covering two outcomes
📈 Totals over/under – general and team-based, including Asian totals
➖ Point spread / handicap – margin-based betting
🔗 Combined bets – such as outcome + total
⚖️ Even/Odd – will the total number of goals be even or odd
⏱️ Period/match betting – bet on who wins a specific period or the match
🔄 Period performance comparison – which period was more productive
🎲 Prop bets – for example, will there be a hat-trick or not
📌 Most betting options are split by periods, offering more strategic flexibility.
In addition, 1xBet offers well-developed markets for in-game events, such as:

The best hockey bets are those that have won with high betting odds.
According to the sports betting rules, it is impossible to cancel a bet. If players have made a prediction by mistake, they can use the Cashout option - an early money withdrawal, with part of the bet being lost.
Ice hockey betting and other sports do not always bring profit, so failures must be taken calmly, and in no case should you try to immediately win back the lost funds.
Money withdrawal is available only to verified users. Therefore, the player must first confirm the account. Then, the client enters the Payments section and the Withdraw funds subsection, selects the withdrawal method that matches the deposit one, specifies the desired amount in the request form, and confirms the transaction.
