1xBet runs many mirror domains around the world, all owned by the same operator. 1xSlots is a separate online casino often called 1xBet’s sister site, but public company records show they are run by two different companies, not one shared owner.
There is no single 1xbet.com that everyone sees
1xBet is not one website. It is a brand stamped onto dozens of near-identical domains, and which one you land on depends on where you are, what device you use, and sometimes just which link you clicked. The main 1xbet.com address offers a long list of country and language versions right on the homepage, covering everywhere from Nigeria to Azerbaijan to the Philippines. If a link to 1xbet.com stops working, another one with a slightly different spelling usually appears within days.
For a player in the USA, Australia or Canada, this matters a lot. None of these three countries has ever granted 1xBet a licence. There is no state-by-state US licence, no Australian licence, and no provincial Canadian licence anywhere on record. That means there is no official “USA version” or “Australia version” of the site the way there is for a licensed operator. Anyone in these countries who reaches a 1xBet domain is reaching an offshore site with no local regulator standing behind it, whatever the domain happens to be called that week.
A licence check turns up a dozen 1xBet-branded domains under two companies
Searching the Anjouan Gaming Authority’s public licence register for “1xbet” returns two active entries. One licence, held by a company called Praecus LLC, covers a single domain, 1xbetanj.com. A second licence, held by a company called Stranton LLC, covers twelve domains at once, including regional addresses built for Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Japan and Cambodia. Both licences are listed as “b2c” (business to consumer) and both were showing as valid at the time of writing.
This is a useful, calm way to think about “1xBet sister sites” for most people who search that phrase: they usually just mean the other domains 1xBet itself runs, not a different brand. The register confirms that pattern. It is the same betting product, the same account system, the same games, just parked on a different web address for a different country. None of the twelve domains found on these two licences are aimed at the USA, Australia or Canada, so they are not something readers in those countries would normally be pointed toward.
A licence being listed is not proof a brand is actively trading, so a domain worth checking should be looked at directly rather than trusted purely because it appears on a register. The name on a licence also does not always match the brand name a customer sees; regulators record the legal company, not the marketing name, and that gap is normal rather than suspicious on its own.
1xSlots names a different company on its own paperwork
1xSlots is where the “sister site” story gets shakier. It is a crypto-friendly online casino with its own separate branding, and gambling comparison blogs frequently group it with 1xBet as if they were part of one family. 1xSlots’ own about page states plainly that the brand “was founded by Orakum N.V.” under a Curaçao licence. A separate 1xBet mirror domain, by contrast, names its operator as Caecus N.V.
Checking Curaçao’s own gaming licence register against both names confirms they are genuinely two different companies, not two names for the same one. Orakum N.V. holds registration number 141651 and a licence listed as “assessment in progress,” with an expiry date that has already passed. Caecus N.V. holds a different registration number, 163779, and a licence marked “indefinite,” with no expiry date shown. Different registration numbers and different licence numbers is exactly the kind of evidence that would need to line up for two brands to count as genuinely linked, and here it does not.
None of this proves the two brands have nothing to do with each other behind the scenes; ownership in this part of the industry is often deliberately hard to see, and a shared parent company further up the chain would not show up on a licence register anyway. What it does mean is that, on the public record checked here, 1xSlots and 1xBet are not the same operator, do not share a licence number, and there is no confirmed evidence of a shared back-end platform. Readers should treat “1xSlots is 1xBet’s sister site” as an unconfirmed claim repeated across betting blogs, not an established fact.
How it compares to 1xBet’s own casino
Since it comes up so often in the same breath as 1xBet, it is worth covering on its own terms. 1xSlots is a casino-only site: there is no sportsbook. On offer is a large slots library, table games, live dealer tables with real dealers on video, plus lottery-style draws and jackpot games. Like 1xBet, it accepts a range of cryptocurrencies for deposits and withdrawals alongside card and e-wallet options, which is a big part of why crypto players end up comparing the two brands in the first place. Identity checks follow the pattern common to offshore casinos: light or no checks for signing up and small deposits, then full ID and address verification once a player asks to withdraw. Crypto withdrawals are generally the fastest way to get money out; card and bank withdrawals tend to take longer and can be paused for extra checks. 1xSlots does not hold a licence in the USA, Australia or Canada either, so the same offshore caveats that apply to 1xBet apply here too.
What you can actually play at 1xBet
1xBet’s core product is a large sportsbook covering football, tennis, cricket, esports and a long tail of niche sports, sitting alongside a full online casino. The casino side includes slots from a wide range of software studios, table games, and a live casino section with dealers streamed in real time. 1xBet also runs its own “1xGames” section of instant-win and arcade-style games that most sportsbooks do not bother building themselves, plus dedicated esports betting markets, which is a genuine point of difference from a lot of smaller crypto casinos.
Sign-up itself is quick and usually only asks for basic details. Fuller identity checks tend to arrive later, most commonly triggered by a withdrawal request, a large deposit, or an internal risk flag rather than being demanded on day one. Payout speed varies a lot by method: crypto tends to move fastest once a withdrawal is approved, e-wallets are usually next, and card or bank transfers are typically slowest and most likely to be delayed for extra checks. Deposit and withdrawal limits exist and vary by payment method and by account, so it is worth checking the method chosen rather than assuming one limit applies everywhere.
On cryptocurrency, 1xBet and its mirror domains commonly accept the major coins players expect, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and a stablecoin such as USDT, alongside standard card and e-wallet options. Exact coin lists can vary by which regional domain a player ends up on, since the domains are not all built identically.
Curaçao’s own register shows an unsettled licence and an expired one, side by side
Looking past the marketing, the two companies tied to these domains do not both look fully settled on Curaçao’s current books. Orakum N.V., the company 1xSlots names as its founder, is listed with a licence status of “assessment in progress” and an expiry date that has already gone by. Caecus N.V., tied to a 1xBet mirror domain, shows a licence marked “indefinite” with no expiry at all. Readers should not assume either status means a site is unsafe or about to close; it simply means the two brands’ paperwork is not in the same state, one more reason to treat them as separately run.
1xBet’s regulatory history outside Curaçao is longer and better documented than most crypto casinos this site covers. In the United Kingdom, 1xBet’s UK-facing operation stopped taking bets in 2019 after the Gambling Commission opened an investigation; the Commission itself will not confirm or deny the details of that case even now, citing its law-enforcement exemption, but the suspension of UK operations at the time was widely reported and never reversed.
India’s Enforcement Directorate, the government agency that investigates money laundering, has taken repeated formal action connected to 1xBet under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. In June 2025 it provisionally attached roughly 11.14 crore rupees in assets belonging to two former international cricketers over endorsement deals it says promoted the platform, as part of a wider probe it says uncovered a laundering trail worth over 1,000 crore rupees, more than 6,000 mule bank accounts and over 60 accounts linked to payment gateways. In March 2026 the Directorate attached a further roughly 18.10 crore rupees in assets, bringing its total attachment in the case to around 37.23 crore rupees, and said its investigation found 1xBet had used mirror websites and constantly changing payment IDs linked to mule accounts to keep collecting money from Indian customers.
In Australia, there is no record of 1xBet holding a licence, and the platform does not currently appear on the Australian Communications and Media Authority’s published list of blocked illegal gambling websites. Offering wagering services to people in Australia without an Australian licence is against the law there under the Interactive Gambling Act, regardless of where the operator is based or which domain it uses; that is a description of the rule, not a claim about what will happen to any individual reader who visits the site.
None of this tells a reader whether using 1xBet, its mirror domains, or 1xSlots is legal for them personally where they live. The facts above are what regulators and a national law-enforcement agency have put on the public record. Whether that record changes anyone’s mind about playing is a personal call, not one this article makes for you.
