As fasr as I know, 1xbit is a part of russian shady book 1xbet. And there A LOT OF paid sponsorship in youtube videos by 1xbet. For example this guy -
https://www.youtube.com/c/russianstandup/videos . Until recent time, he did a lot of commercial for 1xbet
I was surprised to see 1xbet is working under the umbrella of 1X Corp N.V which is registered in Curacao. They have just signed a deal with PSG to be their Africa and Asia regional partner and another deal with esports Team Spirits to be their partner.
How is that possible if they are operating 1xbit1.com covertly?
At first, i don't have 100 % proofs that 1xbet and 1xbit is the same company. Or at least that it has the same owners.
But...
1xbet is well known in postUSSR countries as not honest bookmaker (unlike Parimatch). For example, you can check reviews to 1xbet at russian
Otzovik -
https://otzovik.com/reviews/1xbet_com-bukmekerskaya_kontora/ The first review in top with the header
"1xbet воры!" (translation:
1xbet - thieves!). And ratings with "1" much more than others (634 against 368)
Another site (about bookmakers ratings ) -

Also, "registered in Curacao" doesn't sound too reliably. Curacao is an offshore, not of the worst of course, but you can register your company with less checks if you would try to do the same in UK or EU.
Personally for me, it's looks like 1x
bit it is just a crypto branch of 1xbet. 1xbet has a lot of subsidiaries, by the way. For example -
