1xBet and 1xStavka brand history

Bookmakers 1xBet and 1xStavka hail from Russia. The former entered the gambling market in 2007 and operated legally until the early 2010s, when amendments were made to a federal law restricting its operations in Russia. The bookmaker failed to comply with the new licensing conditions and ceased to provide its operations through ground offices. Of course, 1xBet could have changed its operating structure, if not for the management’s focus on conquering foreign markets. Moreover, the company has not given up working with Russians. They can also use 1xbet.com to place bets.

In 2010, the bookmaker 1xStavka started its detailing. The betting company “took over” all the offices from 1xBet and registered the 1xstavka.ru website. Legally, 1xStavka and 1xBet are two different companies. However, if you dig deeper, the ultimate beneficiaries of both brands are the same people. In other words, bookmaker 1xBet phased out its operations in the Russian Federation and created 1xStavka, which operates under Russian law. Hence the similarities in website design, logo and offer. However, there are differences between the two offices, which we will describe in the next section.
