Furthermore, I would say the net bulk of unresolved complaints scattered across the web is far greater for 1xbit/1xbet than Sportsbet, but it really depends on what kind of metrics you're going by...
Well, I start reading those accusations few days ago and this is what I noticed:
From bitcointalk: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5266815.msg54944917#msg54944917https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5267433.0 -> multi-accounting

multi-accountingTo sum it:
17 unresolved, 5 rejected and 40 resolved complains.4 unresolved and 2 rejected accusations are for multi-accounting
3 unresolved accusation are because casino didn't close account
8 unresolved accusations will remain mystery
1 unresolved accusation which was updated a year after first complain
1 unresolved accusation about some vouchers
There is one interesting accusation for
$80,000 which is resolved and also includes something about invalid vouchers, just like that unresolved accusation from above, thus, many accusations have never been updated.
Take a note that sportsbet is relatively new site (if I am not wrong, 4 years old) while 1xbet is 13 years old site and I didn't check whether some of these accusations are posted in more than 1 place.
Also, in the case of 1xbit, the owners (1xCorp N.V.) have something of a reputation for unethical conduct among the highest levels of business.
Seems they lost license because they offered betting on children's sport and cockfighting. While I have no idea what is children's sport, cockfighting is unethical depending on country, it is legal in some countries. Do they have license now? (I can't access site)
This?
Dutch gambling regulator Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) has issued 1xBet with a fine of €400,000 (£344,200/$454,500) for targeting consumers in the country without permission.
This indeed is unethical behavior by casino, would you imagine that, they allowed people from restricted country to bet! /s
Corruption spreads in a top-down manner, meaning 1xbit is simply likely to be more seedy based on the fact that they have a track record of putting profits ahead of ethics at the highest level.
Me trying to register on sportsbet:
...but, they restrict access for only few countries despite the fact the list is much larger than USA, Netherlands, UK and few other countries they mention in their ToS.
Me trying to register on roobet from the same IP:
No restrictions, everyone is free to use site. Unethical?
