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.
1xbet and 1xbit are actually both from the same parent, this is to say that, they both were founded by the same company (can't remember the name of the company right now but I think Google has an answer).
And speaking of license, I guess it's only gambling newbies who will believe or assume that a license is an authentic and automatic validation of a casino's legitimacy or trustworthiness, for aside this two mentioned casinos, betnomi was another casino that was trusted on this forum, they had all the licenses a casino needed or required to run without issues, but still, they rugged their users and disappeared without any traces, this also one proof that license does not tell if a casino is genuine or not.
