As for the example you cited regarding the 1Xbet platform, as I recall, it has an activity license from Russia and the platform originally operates under a Russian company. Russia will not condemn any of its companies if the plaintiff is a foreign party, especially since Russia is a country with many hostilities around the world.
1xbet and 1xbit are different sites which many people seem to mixup, but both are connected and operating out of Russia which is why you are totally right about them being protected by their trash Kremlin government.
They are great examples to prove why licensing doesn't automatically make a crypto gambling site trustworthy basically.
