1xbit is only tagged as a scam here in the forum. Outside, 1xbit is heavily promoted and they are even considered as top sites to most crypto betting reviews sites making it a legit site for those users that don't browse in this forum.
Bitconnect also had heavy promotions back in the day, including on sites like coinmarketcap. Livecoin was also tagged as scam in this forum and a couple of years later, look where it ended. It's all about money, but that does not stop them from being known as scammers. I never trust most of the review sites, especially ones that earn from referrals.
A small search on other sites like reddit and trust pilot immediately gives a picture about the kind of service 1xbit is. SCAM.
