Is 1xBet legit?
Code checked
Short answer
1xBet is a real, long-running bookmaker (founded 2007) that operates under a Curaçao licence and holds local licences in some countries. It has lost or been refused licences elsewhere — for example in the UK in 2019 — and is banned or restricted in several countries, so whether it is legal for you depends on where you live.

Questions and answers
Is 1xBet safe?
It is a large operator that pays out to verified customers in licensed markets, but it is not regulated everywhere. Check your local rules.
Is PROMX22 safe to use?
