Backing a team to win is one of the most straightforward bets in football — and one of the most frustrating to lose when the match stalls in a goalless first half. 1xBet has a standing permanent offer to address exactly this scenario. Goalless Football has been running since August 20, 2019 with no end date, covering featured top league matches listed on the offer page. Place a single pre-match bet on W1 or W2, your team loses or draws after a goalless first 45 minutes, and the full value of your bet comes back as a promo code — up to a maximum of $23.
What Triggers the Refund and What Does Not
The refund condition is precise: the first half of the match must end with a goalless draw — 0-0 at half time. That is the only trigger. A match that sees a goal scored in the first half, even if your team goes on to lose, does not qualify. A match that ends 0-0 after 90 minutes but had a goal scored and then an own goal in the first half also does not qualify — the half-time score must be specifically 0-0.
Beyond the scoreline condition, the bet itself must also lose. If the first half ends 0-0 but your W1 or W2 bet wins because the match result goes your way in the second half, no refund is credited — the offer is specifically a losing bet refund, not a half-time scoreline bonus. Both conditions must apply simultaneously: first half 0-0 and your bet loses.

The Bet That Qualifies: Single, Pre-Match, W1 or W2 Only
The qualifying conditions on the bet type are narrow and leave little room for interpretation.
Only the first bet on the featured match counts. Subsequent bets placed on the same match are not covered regardless of their size or market. The sequencing matters: a player who places a small exploratory bet before their intended main bet loses the refund eligibility on the main bet entirely if the first bet was also on the match — even on a different market.
Single bets only. Accumulators, system bets, and any multi-selection format do not trigger the refund even if the single leg on the featured match loses and the first half ends 0-0. The bet must be a standalone single.
W1 or W2 markets only. This means home win or away win exclusively — backing the draw is not covered. Handicap bets, total bets, and even/odd markets are all excluded. The offer is specifically designed for directional win bets, not draw or margin markets.
Pre-match placement only. The bet must be placed before the match begins — live bets placed after kick-off do not qualify.
Real money only. Bonus bets, Advancebets, and promo code bets are excluded. Any customer who places their first bet on the featured match using bonus funds or a promo code is automatically excluded from the offer for that match, even if they later place a qualifying real-money bet on the same game.
Only matches listed on the offer page qualify. The offer covers selected top league matches featured specifically on the Goalless Football promotion page — not every football match available on 1xBet. Checking the offer page before placing a qualifying bet confirms which matches are covered for a given fixture list.
How to take part at Goalless Football
The Refund: Amount, Format, and How to Use It
The refund equals the full value of your losing bet up to a maximum of $23. A $15 losing bet returns $15. A $23 losing bet returns $23. A $50 losing bet returns $23 — the ceiling does not move regardless of stake size above that threshold. This makes Goalless Football most efficient for bets sized at or below $23, where the full stake is covered.
The refund credits as a promo code within 24 hours of the bet settling. The specific wagering conditions for the promo code are found under My Account — Account Settings — Promo code check, as the terms can vary. Acting on the promo code promptly after it credits is advisable given that promo codes at 1xBet carry expiry windows.
The offer covers only the regular time of the listed matches. Extra time and penalty shootouts are not part of the calculation — the relevant result for both the first-half condition and the match outcome is based on regular time only.
A Permanent Offer With No Expiry
Unlike seasonal promotions tied to specific competitions or calendar events, Goalless Football has no end date. It has been running continuously since August 2019 and applies to featured matches across top leagues throughout the football season. This makes it a standing tool for regular football bettors rather than a time-limited opportunity — every featured match on the offer page carries the same refund protection automatically for the first qualifying bet placed.
The practical implication is that building Goalless Football into a regular betting routine requires only habit and awareness: check the offer page before placing a win bet on a featured match, ensure it is placed as a single with real money before kick-off, and the refund protection is active.
