I understand it being a scam, but why drag russia into this?

The post starter is in Russia maybe and presumed it's a Russian ran betting site. The point here is not about nationality and it will not change to that, it's about how 250$ was lost from the 1xbet account
You cant stop people not to dragged a certain nationality yet we know the standing of Russian country when it comes to scams and those kind of impressions cant really be removed easily on someones mind.
As far as i know that 1xbet do accept btc.This site is big and heavily invested on marketing stuff thats why its hard to believe about the issue of $250 lost. lol
