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.
Even though both sites 1xbet and 1xbit are different but one thing is common in both of them that is both of them are operated by scammers and must be avoided.
It is the people's feedback and yourself experience which will determine whether you are playing at a reliable casino or a shady one. It is always better to get the feedback from different forums and even from bitcoin talk instead of playing at a gambling site because if you experience the scam yourself then course it will not be good as you will be losing the money.
This information is not entirely accurate. Both sites belong to the same company and are supervised by the same management based in Russia and most likely all of their shareholders are Russians as well. I remember that one time I read a research done by one of the trusted members here on the forum who proved that the two sites are interfaces for the same service with the difference that one of them supports crypto while the other only supports fiat currencies. They even use the same template theme.
1xbet is one of the most famous betting sites in the world and it markets itself in the largest international sports tournaments in addition to using a broad marketing strategy to be visible on most sports sites and not just those concerned with gambling. This marketing policy allowed it to be considered one of the most honest betting sites, but the truth says otherwise given the large number of pending accusations.
