1xBet eZ Cash — what it is
eZ Cash is the SIM-based wallet Dialog Axiata launched in 2012. The balance lives on Dialog's books rather than your bank account, the PIN sits on the SIM, and transfers run through SMS confirmation. Fourteen years on, the rail still covers daily bill payment, retail, peer-to-peer transfer and online merchant settlement for a sizeable share of the country's smartphone users.
For a 1xBet account, eZ Cash matters for one reason: it credits in minutes against an LKR balance, without forcing the player to expose a 16-digit card number to an offshore cashier. The deposit reads as a wallet-to-wallet transfer from the Dialog side and as a confirmed top-up on 1xBet. The processing pipe inside 1xBet labels it under Mobile Wallets — alongside FriMi and mCash — rather than under Cards or Bank Transfers.
The trade-off is the ceiling. eZ Cash on 1xBet is capped at LKR 10,000 per transaction. Players who routinely fund larger weekly balances pair it with a Sampath or Commercial Bank transfer that lifts the per-deposit ceiling. Casual punters stay on eZ Cash and use the wallet as a top-up rail before each session.
1xBet eZ Cash Classic vs Power Wallet
Dialog splits eZ Cash into two tiers. The cap that matters for 1xBet is the daily transfer ceiling, not the wallet balance — both tiers allow you to hold money, what differs is how much can move out per day.
| Limit | Classic Wallet | Power Wallet |
|---|---|---|
| Daily transfer ceiling | LKR 10,000 | LKR 150,000 |
| Monthly transfer ceiling | LKR 25,000 | LKR 500,000 |
| KYC required | Phone number only | NIC or driving licence at Dialog CEC |
| Time to open | 2 minutes via USSD or Genie app | 15 minutes in-branch |
| Fits one 1xBet deposit? | Yes — exactly at the ceiling | Yes, with room for repeat funding |
The Classic Wallet covers the cap-edge scenario: a single LKR 10,000 1xBet top-up before kick-off. If your week looks like three deposits of LKR 8,000 each, the Classic Wallet's daily ceiling will block the second move. That's the moment to upgrade. The upgrade itself is free; only the in-branch visit costs time.
1xBet eZ Cash eligibility
SIM gating decides who can use eZ Cash. The wallet runs on Dialog Axiata's billing stack and ships to Dialog and Airtel subscribers — both postpaid and prepaid SKUs. Mobitel and SLT customers are outside the eZ Cash perimeter; for them, mCash (Mobitel) or a bank transfer (SLT) is the route on 1xBet.
- Eligible: Dialog postpaid, Dialog prepaid, Airtel postpaid, Airtel prepaid.
- Not eligible: Mobitel, SLT mobile, foreign roaming SIMs.
- Age: 18+ for the wallet, 18+ for 1xBet — both gates apply.
- Residency: Sri Lankan residency is assumed by Dialog's KYC stack; the wallet can be opened on a tourist SIM but the Power Wallet upgrade needs NIC or DL.
One subtlety on the 1xBet side: the cashier reads the SIM via the eZ Cash transfer header, not via the account profile. A player who registered on 1xBet from a foreign IP and now lives in Sri Lanka with a Dialog SIM can still use eZ Cash, provided KYC is cleared before the first withdrawal.
1xBet eZ Cash — open the wallet
Three official routes. Pick the one that matches your phone and patience.
-
USSD via #111#From a Dialog or Airtel SIM, dial #111#. Select "eZ Cash", then "Register". Enter NIC last four digits and date of birth. Set a four-digit PIN. The wallet activates in under 60 seconds and an SMS confirms.
-
Genie appDownload Genie from Play Store or App Store. Sign in with the Dialog phone number, complete OTP, tap "eZ Cash" in the bottom nav, follow the same NIC + PIN flow. Adds biometric login on top.
-
WOW SuperappThe newer Dialog superapp ships with eZ Cash on the home grid. Same registration flow, same PIN format. Useful if you already use WOW for Dialog Bill or Wi-Fi top-up.
If the Genie or WOW route fails (often a stale OTP), fall back to the USSD path — #111# survives weak signal areas where the apps cannot reach the API.
1xBet eZ Cash — load the wallet
The 1xBet deposit can only pull what sits in the wallet. Four routes funnel money into eZ Cash.
- Bank transfer (CEFTS). From any LKR current or savings account, transfer to "Dialog eZ Cash" as the beneficiary with your Dialog mobile number as account. Lands in 5-30 minutes depending on the sending bank.
- Commercial Bank ATM cash-in. Insert any Commercial Bank card, select "eZ Cash Top-Up", enter the Dialog mobile number, insert notes. Instant credit, SMS confirmation.
- Agent top-up. Dialog runs 30,000+ dealers and small kiosks across Sri Lanka. Hand over cash, give the mobile number, the agent triggers the transfer. Daily limit at the agent counter is LKR 25,000.
- Salary credit. If your employer files an eZ Cash credit instruction with Dialog, the salary lands in the wallet on payday. Useful for moving past the agent cap.
For a 1xBet top-up, the ATM cash-in route is the fastest because the wallet credit is instant. Bank-transfer top-ups can lag during weekend off-hours when CEFTS batches stall — plan a Friday top-up if you want to bet Sunday cricket.
1xBet eZ Cash deposit — step by step
With money in the eZ Cash wallet, the actual 1xBet deposit takes under two minutes. The interface is the same on web, Android APK and iOS PWA.
-
Log in to 1xBetConfirm the account currency is LKR. If the cashier shows USD, switch via Settings → Language & Region → Sri Lanka.
-
Open DepositTop-right "Deposit" button in the header. The cashier loads with all Sri Lankan rails.
-
Pick eZ CashUnder "Mobile Wallets". The tile shows the Dialog logo and LKR 500-10,000 range.
-
Enter the amountAny value LKR 500 to LKR 10,000. The cashier shows the bonus eligibility tickbox here.
-
Enter the Dialog mobile numberFormat 07X XXX XXXX. The cashier validates the Dialog/Airtel prefix before continuing.
-
Confirm in the Dialog SMSDialog sends an SMS with a one-time confirmation code or a USSD trigger. Reply with your eZ Cash PIN to confirm.
-
Watch the wallet updateThe 1xBet balance updates in under 3 minutes for most transfers, up to 15 minutes at worst. The push notification (in-app) lands when the credit posts.
1xBet eZ Cash deposit limits
The numbers on the cashier match the table below. Heavy depositors should plan around the per-transaction cap.
| Parameter | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum deposit | LKR 500 | Below this, the cashier rejects the transfer |
| Maximum per deposit | LKR 10,000 | Hard cap on the rail; split across multiple deposits if needed |
| Daily ceiling — Classic Wallet | LKR 10,000 | One deposit per day at the max ceiling |
| Daily ceiling — Power Wallet | LKR 150,000 | Up to 15 maxed deposits per day, in theory |
| Processing time | Up to 15 minutes | Median sits closer to 3 minutes; weekends and holidays slower |
| Operator fee | LKR 0 | Zero on 1xBet's side and on Dialog's wallet-to-wallet rail |
| Currency conversion | None | LKR in, LKR out |
| Bonus eligibility | Yes | Code LK26X qualifies through eZ Cash |
The LKR 10,000 per-transaction ceiling is the friction point. Compared to FriMi (LKR 30,000) and Sampath Bank Transfer (LKR 49,000), eZ Cash sits at the low end. The trade-off is speed: at the LKR 10,000 ceiling, the credit lands faster than any bank-rail option.
1xBet eZ Cash withdrawal
The same-method rule on 1xBet defaults withdrawals back to the rail that funded the account. If eZ Cash carried the deposit, eZ Cash is the default cashout option. Three conditions apply:
- KYC must be cleared. Upload NIC front/back plus a selfie or short video. Approval runs 24-72 hours.
- The wallet must be active. A Classic Wallet handles inbound credits up to LKR 10,000 per day; for larger cashouts the Power Wallet ceiling applies.
- The Dialog mobile number on the withdrawal must match the deposit. Cross-wallet withdrawals trigger a manual review.
Realistic timing: 24 hours after KYC approval. Some withdrawals hit the wallet within 4-6 hours; the worst-case 24-hour window covers manual fraud review on first withdrawals from a fresh account.
One honesty note. 1xBet lists eZ Cash on the deposit side prominently; the withdrawal side routes through the same-method default but the cashier may surface a "Verified Wallets" filter that hides eZ Cash if KYC is pending. Don't assume instant cashout — plan for the 24-hour window on a first cashout, faster after that. Full withdrawal guide covers the cross-method exceptions.
1xBet eZ Cash fees
On the 1xBet side, the cashier charges nothing on eZ Cash deposits or withdrawals. On the Dialog side, the wallet-to-wallet rail used for 1xBet is also fee-free. Fees only appear if you cash the wallet out at an ATM or move funds outside the eZ Cash ecosystem.
| Action | 1xBet fee | Dialog fee |
|---|---|---|
| Deposit LKR 500-10,000 to 1xBet | None | None |
| Withdraw LKR 500-10,000 from 1xBet | None | None |
| Cash-out at Commercial Bank ATM | n/a | LKR 25 per transaction |
| Peer-to-peer transfer outside 1xBet | n/a | LKR 5-15 by amount |
| Bank account top-up to eZ Cash (CEFTS) | n/a | Sending bank may charge LKR 25-50 |
| Agent counter top-up | n/a | None (some agents add LKR 20-50 service) |
For the round-trip use case — bank to eZ Cash to 1xBet, then 1xBet back to eZ Cash, then ATM cash-out — the only fee that hits is the LKR 25 ATM withdrawal at the end. The 1xBet leg is free both ways.
1xBet eZ Cash KYC and Power upgrade
KYC sits in two places, and they're independent. Dialog runs its own KYC for the Power Wallet upgrade. 1xBet runs its own KYC before first withdrawal. Clearing one does not clear the other.
Dialog Power Wallet upgrade
Visit a Dialog Customer Experience Center (Colombo, Kandy, Galle, Jaffna and 14 other cities). Take your NIC or driving licence. The staff scans the document, captures a photo, files the upgrade. Activation lands inside 24 hours. No cost.
1xBet KYC
Triggered automatically before your first withdrawal. Account → Profile → Verification. Upload NIC front, NIC back, a selfie holding the NIC, and a proof of address (utility bill or bank statement, under three months old). Average approval window: 24-72 hours; flagged accounts can run longer.
One trap to avoid: don't upload Power Wallet upgrade paperwork to 1xBet. They are separate systems. Sending Dialog's eZ Cash upgrade form to 1xBet support will not advance your KYC and will reset the queue.
1xBet eZ Cash troubleshooting
Five issues catch out new accounts most often. All resolve inside the cashier or via a single support chat.
1. Deposit shows pending for more than 15 minutes
The Dialog SMS confirms the debit but the 1xBet wallet has not credited. Cause: a stuck CEFTS batch or a manual review flag. Fix: screenshot the Dialog SMS (full timestamp visible), open 1xBet support chat, attach the screenshot, give your User ID. Resolves in 30-60 minutes during business hours, longer on weekends. Do not re-attempt — duplicate deposits multiply the manual review work.
2. Payment failed — "insufficient balance"
The wallet balance dropped below the requested amount after another transaction landed in between. Check via #111# → Balance, or open Genie. Top up the wallet to cover the requested amount plus a small buffer, retry the 1xBet deposit.
3. Payment failed — "wallet not active"
The eZ Cash account is in suspended state, often because of three failed PIN attempts. Dial #111# → Reset PIN, follow the NIC verification flow. The wallet reactivates inside five minutes.
4. USSD error — "Service temporarily unavailable"
Dialog's eZ Cash backend takes a maintenance window most Sundays from 1am to 4am. Retry after 4am. If the error appears outside that window, switch to the Genie app — it sometimes routes around the USSD gateway issue.
5. Mobile number rejected on the 1xBet cashier
The cashier validates the Dialog/Airtel prefix. If your number starts with the Mobitel range (071) or SLT range (077 — some sub-ranges), the cashier rejects. Confirm your SIM is on Dialog or Airtel; if it's on Mobitel, use mCash instead. SLT customers do not have a wallet rail on 1xBet — use Sampath or Commercial Bank transfer.
1xBet eZ Cash security
Three layers protect the rail. They cover wallet access, transfer authorisation and account recovery.
- SIM-locked PIN. The four-digit eZ Cash PIN is bound to the SIM. A swapped SIM resets the wallet to inactive and forces re-verification.
- SMS confirmation per transaction. Every transfer triggers an inbound SMS with the destination, the amount and a confirmation token. No way to bypass.
- OTP on Genie and WOW. App-side logins add an OTP layer on top of the PIN, which raises the bar against credential stuffing.
From the 1xBet side, the cashier never stores the eZ Cash PIN. The deposit triggers a Dialog SMS that you confirm separately; even if the 1xBet account were compromised, the attacker cannot move money out via eZ Cash without your SIM in hand. This is the strongest argument for eZ Cash over card deposits.
1xBet eZ Cash vs FriMi vs bank transfer
Three Sri Lankan rails on 1xBet. The choice depends on deposit size, speed sensitivity and whether you already hold an account with the issuer.
| Aspect | eZ Cash | FriMi | Bank transfer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Operator | Dialog Axiata | Nations Trust Bank (NTB) | Sampath / Commercial / NTB / NDB |
| Min deposit | LKR 500 | LKR 500 | LKR 500 |
| Max per deposit | LKR 10,000 | LKR 30,000 | LKR 49,000 |
| Time to credit | Up to 15 min | Up to 15 min | 15 min - 4 hours |
| 1xBet fee | None | None | None |
| SIM dependency | Dialog / Airtel only | Any network | Any network |
| Bank account needed | No | Yes (NTB-FriMi) | Yes |
| Best for | Quick small top-ups | Mid-size repeats | Single large funding |
Practical rule: eZ Cash for ≤ LKR 10,000 fast top-ups, FriMi for LKR 10,000-30,000 repeats, bank transfer for one-shot LKR 30,000-49,000 sessions. Stack them — many accounts run eZ Cash for the quick mid-week deposit and a Sampath transfer for the Friday weekend funding.
1xBet eZ Cash FAQ
What is the minimum 1xBet deposit via eZ Cash?
LKR 500 per deposit. The maximum sits at LKR 10,000 per transaction. Heavy depositors split into multiple top-ups or pair eZ Cash with a Sampath / Commercial Bank transfer that lifts the per-deposit ceiling.
How long does an eZ Cash deposit take to land in the 1xBet wallet?
Up to 15 minutes. Most credits land in under three minutes once the Dialog SMS confirmation comes back. If 15 minutes pass with no credit, screenshot the SMS and open a 1xBet support chat with your User ID.
Does 1xBet charge a fee on eZ Cash deposits?
Zero on the 1xBet side. Dialog Axiata may charge cash-out fees if you later withdraw eZ Cash to a Commercial Bank ATM, but the wallet-to-wallet rail used for 1xBet deposits is free.
Can I withdraw 1xBet winnings back to eZ Cash?
Yes, under the same-method rule — if you funded the account with eZ Cash, withdrawal back to the same wallet is the default. KYC must be cleared first. Processing runs same-day to 24 hours after approval.
Do I need a Power Wallet to deposit on 1xBet?
No. A Classic Wallet covers single 1xBet deposits up to LKR 10,000 comfortably inside its LKR 10,000 daily ceiling. Power Wallet helps if you plan multiple deposits per day or want a daily ceiling of LKR 150,000.
Which Sri Lankan SIM networks support eZ Cash?
Dialog and Airtel — postpaid and prepaid. Mobitel and SLT subscribers cannot register an eZ Cash account; mCash is the Mobitel equivalent if you stay on that network.
How do I open an eZ Cash account?
Three options. Dial #111# from your Dialog or Airtel SIM, follow the menu, set a four-digit PIN. Or download the Genie app, sign in with your Dialog ID, enrol the wallet. Or open WOW Superapp and complete the same flow.
How do I top up the eZ Cash wallet before depositing?
Bank transfer from any local bank to eZ Cash via standard CEFTS rails; agent top-up at any of the 30,000+ Dialog dealers across Sri Lanka; Commercial Bank ATM cash-in; or a salary transfer if your employer files the request with Dialog.
Is eZ Cash safer than a card on 1xBet?
For the average Sri Lankan player, yes. eZ Cash isolates the wallet balance from your main bank account, the PIN sits on the SIM rather than a card surface, and SMS confirmation runs on every transfer. No 16-digit card number ever reaches the cashier.
What if the eZ Cash deposit shows pending for more than 15 minutes?
Open the 1xBet support chat, attach the Dialog SMS that confirmed the debit, and quote your User ID. Manual reconciliation usually clears the pending state in under an hour. Do not re-attempt the deposit until support confirms the first one will not credit.
