Fake sport farms

In some countries, 1xBet exists legally under the license given to it by the government, but many of its country's citizens know it as a scam because of the numerous complaints that deposits are not credited, withdrawals are frozen after big wins, and bonus traps

What's worse is that the shady platform isn't even operating legally in the country. I don't know why its brand is all over town but I couldn't find it on the list of duly accredited gambling sites.

But I'm not surprised at all that it's still being promoted, giving sponsorship, and all. The country's regulators are lazy and incompetent. There are only hundreds of accredited gambling sites, but in reality the number operating on the ground is already in the thousands.

The best way to protect oneself from fraudulent sites and fake leagues and sports farms is to monitor feedbacks and discussions online, like here. But guess what, even this forum is banned in the country because it isn't a licensed gambling site. You can see the unbelievable incompetence right there.

1xBet is a highly questionable casino and bookmaker that uses fraudulent and quasi-fraudulent promotional methods and frequently fails to pay out winnings. This company was founded by Russian immigrants in the early 2000s. They subsequently expanded internationally and claimed to offer gaming opportunities in over 50 countries. Criminal cases have been opened against this company in Russia and other countries. However, they have managed to evade justice. To avoid becoming a victim of this casino, simply avoid playing there. There are still victims of 1xBet all over the world, and the cases are ongoing.

In 1xbet I noticed that they have some short football games that always seems fixed, it was easy for people to study the patterns of these games and predict what the possible scoreline would be, these were some of the organized matches that I came across on the site.

How do you guys still notice this? Because even with the way 1xbit is being promoted here in my country, I don’t follow up anything that has to do with them talking more about watching matches that are being organized by them. I wonder how some people still trust those selective scammers and how they still manage to retain their licenses.

This is exactly what I did too, I just avoid them and look at this using the platform as irresponsible people because they failed to do their own research so they deserve everything they will get out of it.

One thing will lead to another in the end and they will show their true color just like they have done few times on this forum already, that name is so Scammy on its own, anything related to this name can't be trusted.

I know about this casino, I have seen many chaos in front of my eyes. Although I do not more know about it, it works with fraud, when someone gets progress, they get involved with more countries and people. Or when progress is needed, such work is done, some of them came out like this, that's why Russia was behind them, but they had the answers to all these questions, so they could avoid it or we can also see it as bribery because most of the work in such works becomes bribery. Yes, that's why I also got to see a lot of chaos in them, but I did not show interest in it. Do not step into a casino where your profit is not yours, but your loss. Before going to every casino, you must think about the loss once.

Fake sports farms - fake sport events? Is that what you mean? Create any competition, kind of a local hood game on school stadium, and add this game for betting, then manipulate with game result based on placed bets? I was expecting some kind of such bs to appear in sport betting as gambling industry keep on becoming bigger and bigger. I think I have read here about fake cricket league. I dont think that such sport faking is only in Russia. I think it is a global issue, as anyone can create such fake if casino is blind and careless about what cases, or are blind on purpose.

I am not sure about how the fake betting scam works. A fraud case like that is new to me and indeed I have never encountered it. If they really create fake matches, how do they attract betting interest? Do they fake the names of the teams playing? Or is it really betting from amateur teams? I just don’t know how the betting organizers or the betting sites themselves get the attention of bettors.

I think method works like this: as casino wants to earn on anything where competition is, they let people add their own matchups. Like in prediction market you can create own prediction or if the scam is huge, they have own league organized for that. Kind of betting on a level of League C events (that is far below amateur level). Casino only do check-ups of teams or players stats to find out who is underdog and who is a favorite to create odds. They when event is added for betting, cheaters bet on underdog, tell favorite to lose. As a result, casino is to make payouts on an event that was manipulated.

Lately, I came across a very interesting topic that many communities have started talking about, and I was totally blown out. It’s about sports farms, which got exposed from many sides, this is a large betting platform, mostly known in Russia and Africa: 1xBet(also known here to be a scam). Apparently, they use players with fake names and misleading information to create more games for betting.

I don't understand, what kind of matches are those? They can't do that with FIFA or UEFA or Bundesliga kind of matches, right? I mean, why would one bet on some local events that can be easily fixed?

Personally, I have no intention to bet on these boring games.

And you are absolutely right. There are enough matches that you can bet on without being scammed. I wouldn't recommend to even register on some shady sites like those you mentioned.

The dangerous part is that these players are required to score an exact number of goals, miss penalties or do other random things just to make sure the platform keeps winning against the majority of bets.

It’s like whole organization, where even some people are getting paid without knowing what they actually involved in, while being streamed 24/7. The bigger issue here is that this platform is still sponsoring famous teams and events without facing any legal repercussions. Have you seen anything like this yourself, or noticed these organized matches? Personally, I have no intention to bet on these boring games.

I think it's possible, but it seems to me that carrying out something like this in top tier leagues would be extremely difficult or expensive for them. So I'm not entirely sure what exactly this post is referring to or which matches are involved. I suspect that if this is happening, it's more likely to be in lower tier competitions. On the other hand, betting activity and overall popularity may be significantly lower there as well. That's why I'd like to see some more specific details about what exactly is being discussed.

The op generalises it as though this unethical practices are commonly found in the big stages matches as it is with the lower ranking leagues, is really unlikely to be equally when we can not swear it that the big tiers does not rarely influence certain important matches but not with collaboration with gambling companies.

Things like this are happening which is what has made big gamblers to avoid betting on matches from lower leagues cause they are known to be hovered with match fixing.

All this has also contributed to the staggering growth of lower leagues and omissions of many of the lower leagues market in reputable sportbooks sites.

In the few times I have used 1xBet to place bets, I have never experience this but I have been scammed in 1xBet, I deposited 1,000 Naira on my 1xBet account, they sent me a message on my email that they have received my deposit but when I logged to my account I didn't see any money. I reached out to them through email, and they insisted that I didn't make any deposit, after much deliberation without me recovering my deposit I stopped using 1xBet, and I can never allow someone I know to use 1xbet.

You did not fall for the scam because you probably already had some games in mind before you started gambling, ..actually this sportsbook has a lot of markets offered for a specific game, and although they have some fake teams, I would not fall for this as when I gamble I just look for popular games like basketball, tennis and boxing.

But about the money you lost to the scam, I think it's a learning experience, didn't you know that they already had a bad reputation in the forum before you deposited your money?

When 1xbet came to Nigeria market, i was not even moved to create an account with them, but when almost all the social media influencers in Nigeria were promoting them, saying anyone who use their referral and create an account on 1xbet will receive 200% welcome bonus upon his first deposit. But when my friend used the referral of one of the influencers that promoted 1xbet to create an account, he did not receive any welcoming bonus upon his first deposit, this made me to see 1xbet as a scam online betting site, and i realized they paid those influencers just to promote their platform for bettors in Nigeria to use it. 1xbet is a scam online gambling site, i am not surprised with what Op said about them.

I have watched a documentary on something like this that you explained in the past but I doubt this is happening in the top leagues in Europe but it will be happening in all those local leagues like in South America and Asia that people are not paying too much attention to and it is being controlled by drug cartels that the government can not do anything to. Match fixing is a big problems in the betting business and that has been the reason some casino platforms do not offer betting options for all those league because they are protecting their platforns  from match fixing. I do not have any interest in winning like this so I do not gamble on small leagues that can have this going on.

I made a few bets there and had no problems. I got out pretty fast - for a different reason, I had no issues with that bookie. Maybe that's why I never hit a problem. But now I'm thinking about something else:
why would anyone bet on unknown players in virtual games at a shady casino - at best? Even if you want to bet on virtual sports, there are famous teams whose results you can check. Way harder to cheat with those.

Is this all about only one casino? I mean, only 1xBet is doing this or few other casinos as well? I read twice still I could not get what is exactly "sport farms" in the context? Are they creating unreal betting on existing sport or the sport itself a fake one?

Moreover, if you have provided some link for learning more information on this "fake sport farms" might have helped me to know about how this scam exactly happening and may lead me to avoid such fake bets in the end. It's still okay, now I am going to google to educate myself to protect from this "fake sport farms". Anyway, thanks for this topic and I believe it has been lightening up knowledge for many small gamblers like myself.
