Honest review about 1xbit.com:First of all, I will talk about MY experience with 1xbit, which I am aware that doesn't coincide with some other members' but, please, respect it as I respect others'.
A few months ago I first heard about this online casino/sportsbook. I am not much of a gambler and this is the reason I didn't heard about them before, but it seems they have been around for a few years. I took a quick look at their threads and I was a bit scared at first sight because of the confrontation between the ones making very serious scam accusations and the ones stating that the service was legit.
Eventually, I read that a few months ago there were important changes in the staff and that the new staff was going to re-consider all the accusations. I am not a judge and I believe in second opportunities, so I decided to give them a try; after all, they could make a lot of money with a legit service, so why should they go shady and steal your money with no reason, taking into account the volume of players they already had?
After the try, in MY case, I have to say that everything was correct. Payments were made promptly and the communication with the staff was good, with polite people willing to solve my doubts and problems.
That said, I have to add something else about the scam accusations: in most of the cases the answer from the staff was "infringement of the T&C's". Taking that into account, I would advice people a couple of things:
- On one hand,
always read the T&Cs!! This should apply to everything, from Facebook to Google, but we are usually too lazy to do that because of their length. In my experience, this is not the case for most crypto exchanges and casinos, with T&Cs that can be read in a few minutes. And, after all, before you sign a contract, you read it, don't you? This way you will avoid surprises like bans from multi-accounts, using VPNs, forbidden jurisdictions, etc. which IMO are the main reasons for most of the scam accusations here.
- On the other hand, don't transfer huge amounts of cryptos anywhere apart from a wallet you have control of your keys, and that applies also to exchanges or whatever other services. These are the golden rules here that anyone should know and, if not, it is never too late to learn: "
not your keys, not your coins" and "
transfer only the coins you can afford to lose". This kind of services will try to tempt you with big intro offers, so you'll have to choose wisely the risk/profit ratio you are willing to accept.
That's it, I hope nobody got hurt because of my words, which I hope will be helpful
and don't forget to not trust but verify, and always DYOR with these and every crypto services.
