After the assassination of one of the founders of 1xbet, the situation has changed across all 1x platforms. They have tightened procedures even further. For instance, Mostbet has introduced video calls for KYC verification. 1xbit has begun closing accounts without refunding the deposited amount, and Coinplay has implemented KYC procedures. As a result, all security departments are now centrally managed. Others, like Melbet, 22bet, Betandyou, operate under franchise names
what is new about 1xbet locking account without refunding the deposit amount ? this is also the reason why people tried to connect them to 1xbit because of their similar activities and how to scam their players.
also about KYC verification that we cannot questioned because each site has the right to ask those verification if needed (though mostly being asked when need to withdraw but not when depositing things that I see being part of their way of scamming players)
but best is never engage towards those sites so you'll not become a victim when time comes you need to withdraw.
