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.
Of course, to look further into problems like this, there must be interference, the worst regret is that licenses may be purchased to support the running of the company, and of course the government also wants to profit from the taxes he sets for the casino, or maybe there are personal transactions between the casino owner and, so it can be easy to clear his name, we don't know about it but it might happen.
Yes I also doubted before whether 1xbet and 1xbit were the same or not, but seeing many similarities and many also said that they were connected, it could conclude for me to never touch it again for my gambling place.
