Topic: Mycelium Wallet Promoting Scam Bookies 1xbit.com (Read 1079 times)

It should be possible since the wallet could be reproduced by Wallet Scrutiny[1]. The real question is who would bother maintain such fork?

It's now clear they are doing massive promotion from 1xbet in the main stream media but in the online media they are promoting 1xbit, They do not care about the reputation since 1xbit is completely de-touched from 1xBet. It's obvious now 1xBet is legally operating with a license otherwise they could not promote in the mainstream media. The victims from 1xBit can use the evidence of connection and call out 1xBit.

I am not sure this is totally correct,

You were actually right all those days.

I hope you meant that comment as sarcasm? 

Yesterday I discovered 1xBit and 1xBet are two different sites. All these days I was thinking they are same business LOL

Dunno about you, but for me bitcointalk topics are very close to the top and no one who actually type "is 1xbit scam?" won't miss it. Problem is that people google that only after they've been scammed by 1xbit.

That's their most important marketing technique, to make people think that 1xBet=1xBit. 

I am honestly surprised that results from bitcointalk 1xbit scam is not on top, but they probably paid a lot of money for pushing other results on top.

You do wonder though why the scammers behind 1xbit would go to such lengths to come across as a genuine legitimate business when if they applied just a fraction of that same focus and effort and ran a genuine scam-free betting/gaming website, they might have a chance to complete with some of the biggest and best competitors.

But since Mycelium let that ads place on their platform it indicates that they are not checking the backgrounds of their promoters and just want their own gain for that situations.

If they could spend millions of dollars for advertisement then why they didn't solve the issue happened to their site? If they just take those situation or cases seriously for sure they can eliminate the doubts of people and we will not see any people discuss some bad words against them.

Sometimes you need to consider that ads are not placed specifying a service. If they are using service like Google AdSense then the ad network is sending the ads and they have no control over it. There are many ad networks not just Google AdSense. 1xbit spends millions of dollar in their advertising. So obviously ad networks are one of the choice for them.

I guess they make more money this way. You scam just enough people and confiscate their funds to make good profits from it. But you don't overdo it to be tagged as complete scammers. That way you can still keep part of your userbase happy and don't make everyone angry.

Typing 1xbit scam in search is giving much better results.

I don't think that Trustpilot has any credibility so having bunch of fake 1xbit reviews won't damage them much.

Problem is that outside of this forum 1xbit doesn't have a reputation of straight up scam so Coingecko and Mycelium probably don't think that they are doing anything wrong by allowing 1xbit to advertise there.

I didn't know this because I don't see any ads on Coingecko and most other websites with my uBlockOrigin, but it is disabled on bitcointalk forum.
Yeah I didn't know about it either up until recently when I got new PC and checked the website while forgetting to get adblocker on Mozilla. I thought that Coingecko is better than CMC in that regard but I guess they all like the money.

That's true, everyone in the world looks for money. Someone could sell the soul for money and Someone earned it the legal way. Since it's their business then they won't stop it. Coinzila doesn't have business with the public, their business is with companies and websites. So they don't care about the public's money. But gamblers should check themselves before depositing there. Need a bit of research, not just jump after seeing the ads.

If that is the case it damages the credibility of trustpilot and websites such as those where people are expecting to read real/genuine unbiased published reviews.

I believe that 1xBit very easily buys those positive reviews on Trustpilot. IIRC, 1xbit_official even admitted once that they encourage and reward leaving a review, which is why all positive comments on Trustpilot have an "Invited" note next to them. For example, 1xBit has almost twice as many reviews on TrustPilot compared to Stake.com, and the traffic to their website is ten times less than that of Stake according to Similarweb.com.

Someone could sell the soul for money

Is there any way do disable or hide this coinzilla ads in Mycellium wallet, maybe with some external app or custom settings that hide ads for all apps?

This is how it works, Mycelium makes a ad space available on their app, coinzilla rents that space to promote their clients business, in the end, client pays coinzilla, coinzilla then pays Mycelium, this is how it is across all other crypto platforms like etherscan, bscscan, poocoin and the rest.

Even if you report it, I don't think that Coinzila will share our view when it comes to 1xbit as they are advertising literally everywhere. You can find their banners on Coingecko as well, which is usually considered more reliable than Coinmarketcap. They are simply buying everyone they could and I am sure that many here would carry their signature if they weren't afraid of getting tagged.

I believe that 1xBit very easily buys those positive reviews on Trustpilot.

But some says they are sister site.

1x trademark is owned by the owner of Crex24 and according to this post, 1xbit = 1xbet = crex24. This is very much possible though the proof to link 1xbit with 1xbet and crex24 are too weak. On the other hand, crex24 = 1xbet is somewhat clear and the guy got some good proof, reasoning. Even crex24 has stated they have partnership with 1xbet. And we all know that crex24 is a shady business and if managed by same owner, 1xbet is also a shady casino.

What choice do you have except believe everything your scam masters say and come here and lie about it, despite all the evidence showing that the 2 scam casinos are sister companies?

Enjoy your bloody scam money in peace but don't make it worse by trying to defend the indefensible.

Let's go back in time a year after the beginning of the Russian scam casino: https://web.archive.org/web/20170603210023/https://1xbit.com/

What does that highlighted sentence say about 1xbit?
Wait, which year was 1xbet founded again?

I'm afraid that's not entirely true. When faced with all the evidence, 1xbit_official clearly shifted their argument from "there is no official connection" to "we are using software developed by the same company", and finally "the same company set up our service from a to z". So, it's obvious that there is at least some connection between the two platforms, besides just having a similar name and using the same software.

Furthermore, as I have shown before, both platforms use the same identification meta tags, which proves beyond a doubt that the same entity manages them both from the backend. As I have stated numerous times, these meta tags have nothing to do with the software these companies are using. Verification meta tags are not provided by game providers or software developers, but by third-party services, such as Google, Microsoft, Yandex and Paysera. They are required in order to verify ownership of a domain (website) at those services, and are unique to every user.

Taking it a step further, in a topic linked by Haunebu, there is strong evidence that there is a connection between KawBet and 1xBit. Both platforms use the same wallets for crypto deposits, which can be easily verified.


In addition to the Bitshares wallet, the same wallets are also used for EOS and Stellar deposits, and I suspect for other cryptocurrencies as well.

The same wallets are used on the 1xBET platform as well. As a result, all payments on any of these platforms go to the same account, and the same company handles all deposits and withdrawals, and that is 1xBET.



Several other platforms (with a shady history) are also affiliated with the same group:

888STARZ - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/888starz-casino-belongs-to-1xbet1xbit-known-scammers-plz-support-flag-5250905
Cleobet - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/cleobet-another-betb2b-1xbet1xbit-clone-flag-to-be-supported-5237723
Pnxbet - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/pnxbet-kawbet-1xbet1xbit-known-scammers-plz-support-flag-5235201

And that's not all ...


So, to summarize: they use the same software and the same game provider, matching third-party verification tags, matching deposit addresses and wallets, matching terms of use...
If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck ...

And lastly, for all those who are still in denial, here are some quotes from their previous representative on this forum (or the same person under a different name) which completely refute their more recent claims:

You have to ask yourself: how widely knows is it that 1xBit is a scam casino? The people on this forum know about it relatively well, but you still have people who get scammed out of their money by using their services. Just yesterday I read about a case of a user who has been a member on Bitcointalk since 2020 and he got scammed as well.

I don't think Mycelium carried out extensive research here. Since many people probably rely on sites like Trustpilot, you will be surprised when you see that 1xBit has almost 2.500 reviews, and 56% of those rate the casino as excellent, 17% as great, etc. 19% rate it as bad, but with an overall rating of 4.0, it looks like a good platform, unless you carry out more research. 

I am not sure if reporting 1xbit to Coinzila or Mycelium would help.

You may not like a wallet advertising a particular service and I understand this. But, that doesn't mean the wallet is not secure.

1xbet.com is a legit bookmakers

1xBet is a legitimate sportsbook.

this bookmaker is advertised in also another well known service. likewise... coinmarketcap show clearly their banner
https://i.ibb.co/HgvhJ5r/Schermata-2021-08-03-alle-20-53-10.png
and I have the same your reaction time ago while noticing it

Are you sure that Barcelona has a partnership with 1xbet. I am sorry but I have no idea about it. But if they have a partnership then I think they do not clearly known about the scam activity of 1xbet. But I have doubt about their partnership. I think if they have partnership with 1xbet then they will not delay to cancel the deal after the clarification of the scam activity.

Barcelona is also having partnership with 1xbet

Before blaming anyone, take a look at this post: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.56150537

Perhaps that is enough for neutral people to have some faith in 1xBit. Dyor.

Sincerely,
1xBit team

It would make sense if more people send them an email too,( bugging them till we get a positive response)  ~snip

I have emailed their support about the issue and asked them to look into it. I may share the details here if they respond to the email, for purposes of clarity. Let us hope they respond positively for the sake of their reputation.

Maybe, and maybe they don’t care as long as they benefit from promoting such services. I am of the opinion that it is not professional to make such a mistake, because if you provide a very serious service, then you need to be especially careful what you advertise within that service. Any user of this crypto wallet who becomes a victim of this scam bookmaker will surely become a former user.

To be frank I'm disappointed to see the ads of 1xbit in mycelium, but I do not think that Mycelium is scammer just because of the ads.

It means that you are also saying that Barcelona, one of the biggest football clubs in the world is also scammer because Barcelona is also having partnership with 1xbet which is known as the main site or sister site of 1xbit?

I'm mycelium user and I noticed about the ads since few weeks ago. To be frank I'm disappointed to see the ads of 1xbit in mycelium, but I do not think that Mycelium is scammer just because of the ads.

I have no idea either Mycelium is scam or not but I think those who promote scammers are also scam. By considering this if Mycelium promotes 1xbit then I think Mycelium is scammer too. I am not sure either they are promoting or not as I am not using Mycelium..

They are too smart to know those who deposit to test the system to see if it pays or not and those set of users usually stake with a little amount, in cases like this they sometimes payout those smaller amounts to give you self motivation to come back with a high stake and to have some kind of society backup. But their major targets are high stakers. They act like a Ponzi scheme( pay 100 people, scammed 10,000 people )

As some others said, Mycelium probably didn't do a proper due diligence.

I have no idea either Mycelium is scam or not but I think those who promote scammers are also scam.

1xbit is only tagged as a scam here in the forum. Outside, 1xbit is heavily promoted and they are even considered as top sites to most crypto betting reviews sites making it a legit site for those users that don't browse in this forum.

3. Simple static image?

They dedicated a tap ( cryptobetting) on their wallet to 1xbit.com and they also have a promotional code that gives 125% on first deposit to new users who register using the code "Mycelium", they are not only paid to advertise but it seems like they are in partnership with 1xbit.com.

I'm a little surprised that most people think that they really pay unique users (is there any proof of payments at all?), but it seems to me that they have created an account farm that they use as a cover-up for their campaign.

The power of money you can see it from their signature campaign here, they offer so much they are buying their way to the top, they pay for almost everything from site reviews to testimonies, to the advertisement.

Also: Settings > Notifications > Media Flow > Disable.

Unfortunately they don't use social media (according to https://wallet.mycelium.com/#support), so there's no way to ask about it and get answer publicly.

I don't know what options this belong to but Mycelium are fully aware of the advertisement and reporting to them would lead to nowhere.

It doesn't show in my wallet yet, but this is bad

I can understand that it can sometimes be a challenge to determine if a service is a scam or not

Since mycelium is open-source and noncustodial, at least I know my fund is secure.

This is not a thread but rather a question because I'm kind of mystified about why a reputable wallet as Mycelium would promote a well-known crypto scam bookmakers 1xbit.com on every page of their official wallet. They even have a promotional code for the first deposit bonus. The fact that they accept a partnership with 1xbit.com is a big turn off for me I'm moving my coins except I see a good reason why I should not.

..snip..

Secured wallets or not what they are doing is below expectation, do you have any idea how many holders/customers they must have led to 1xbit thru their Media?

I've lost my respect for Mycelium, they chose money over a good reputation who know what they would do next. The fact that they have a promotional code drives me insane.

You may not like a wallet advertising a particular service and I understand this. But, that doesn't mean the wallet is not secure.
Mycelium wallet is open-source and also gives you full control over your fund. There's nothing in the code they hide from users.

I understand the need for money, but this is way below the belt for Mycelium. Of all businesses and services, they had to go for a proven scam such as 1xbit?
