The company’s UK website was taken down after a Sunday Times investigation into its global activities, which included promoting a “pornhub casino”, bets on children’s sports and advertising on illegal websites.

LOL. Like if those are the main issues with 1xbet.

Hi! Thank you for these questions.

We reached out to a person who is named as a spokesperson and got an answer.

We are an established, international gaming Company, which abides by all the relevant laws and regulations in every jurisdiction in which we operate. We are fully committed to creating an environment which protects people from irresponsible gambling and addiction.

We take very seriously the allegation that 1xBet’s brand has been promoted on prohibited sites. This was done, from our understanding, through certain third party networks, and without our prior knowledge or consent.

We will keep you informed as soon as the situation changes.

I don't know. "The company’s UK website was taken down after a Sunday Times investigation into its global activities, which included promoting a “pornhub casino” ...

I don't bet on 1xbet because of many negative experiences from users around the world. I don't prmote 1xbet because of many negative experiences from users around the world. I trust the investigation of Sunday Times, maybe the Pornhub Casino is linked on 1xbet in a few countries only.

**universal4** · 15 August 2019, 12:58 am

From what I have heard, pornhub was using the 1xbet software, or maybe it was a leased whitelabel. I am not sure but that is what I have heard from unconfirmed sources so far on that connection.

If it was a white label, it likely showed as being a sort of sub-licensee of 1xbet. I don't think anyone disclosed where the "connection" came from.

Again, none of this was confirmed, but is possible this is where the connection was suspected.

um...I recommend you be careful with any unsubstantiated accusations. the more you personally didn't see... much less you are not a client of this bookmaker. and can you also share with me this investigation in the Sunday Times? it's interesting to read what they found

Which accusations? I'm not the Sunday Times and I don't know what they have found how and where. For sure, I trust Sunday Times more than I trust a bookmaker with so many complaints.

**universal4** · 15 August 2019, 9:14 pm

Did the Sunday Times state where and how they suspected the connection to pornhub?

Did they state why the was an accusation of betting on children's games (this seems to be a wide spread problem with MANY of the bookmakers - even those who folks say are the best)

Did they state where the streams and betting on on cockfights had taken place? (I support sanctions against or supporting removal of such from any books)

Did they state specifics of the 1xbet ads on illegal livestream pages? (most likely affiliate advertising, and what constitutes the illegal livestream sites?)

Good questions. Maybe Sunday Times can answer it.
I think that Ashley Clarke would have denied it if they had nothing to do with it. But they didn't, sometimes no answer is still a good answer.

**lemerClem** · 16 August 2019, 3:20 am

well, I think Ashley will answer when they have some information. I've been googling this investigation. and what? and I found nothing, no specific facts on any of the issues. too much hype over one sentence in an article. I think we need to wait for some news from Times or 1xbet
