We’re back with more detail on 1xBet’s amateur sport gambling model, thanks to members of our Discord community who have found the locations of 10+ games that are broadcast to the betting site... https://lnkd.in/eSJi_dQN We recently shared how the controversial Russian-founded gambling platform 1xBet is taking bets on thousands of amateur sports events live-streamed to its website from secret locations. Previously we examined hundreds of videos broadcast to 1xBet and initially geolocated six venues in three countries. They included a children's football school in Russia, a basketball arena in Belarus, and a sports hall in Ukraine's capital city. Now our community has found more than 10 new sites which host football, basketball, ice hockey and cricket tournaments broadcasted to 1xBet around the clock. We traced the leagues to Russia, Belarus and India... Featuring reporting by our community members including Riccardo Giannardi , Rory White and many others. #1xbet #Bellingcat #gambling #betting #streams #sport #football #cricket #hockey #basketball #bet #investigation #geolocation
