Some new crypto bookie named "Kawbet" recently came up and when checking out their website, I (and not just me) immediately noticed a similar website layout/structure/design/wording with 1xbit. 1xbit/1xbet and many more "labels" belong to the same group who have been scamming people for a long time, many bitcointalk members have been scammed but not exclusively - a google search shows how shady that group is.

Being worried, I raised some questions in Kawbet´s ANN, which remained unanswered. I wasnt the only one asking questions and it didnt take long before several people came up claiming their accounts were closed etc. Someone then posted a screenshot when trying to deposit via "bitshares". I have just tried this out myself and well, take a look at the screenshots below. First belongs to Kawbet, second one belongs to 1xbit (thanks tyKiwanuka!)





Memorize your wallet address for payments via BitShares: x1bit

People should be warned and stay away from Kawbet - sooner or later their accounts will be closed and/or withdrawals declined. Its what this group does, they have a record. Kawbet is currently also running a signature campaign here on bitcointalk... (UPDATE: On pause now!)

1xbit has been active on bitcointalk before I even signed up here, they had an ANN and an active 1xbit representative.

Please support my flag: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=1435



Some updates:

- Kawbet hasnt responded yet as to why deposit adresses are matching. I really hope they will do shortly. No answer is also an answer? ...

- Signature campaign has been paused: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5227812.msg53981523#msg53981523

- Kawbet opened a thread in their local board asking for support to oppose the flag: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5231056.msg53980603#msg53980603

- Unrelated but still unprofessional and forbidden: The Kawbet account also plagiarized from several websites.
