Who runs 1xBit
1xBit launched in 2016. Its operator and licensee is Oceaventure Limited, registered in the British Virgin Islands. The brand is accessed through several mirror domains, so figures for its main domain understate its real reach.
1xBit licence check
On 19 September 2026, the Anjouan register listed licence ALSI-202409027-FI2 for Oceaventure Limited, issued on 16 September 2024 and now valid until 15 September 2027. At our previous check on 14 September the same entry showed an expiry of 15 September 2026, so the licence has been renewed.
The footer on 1xbit.com misprints the number as ALSI-20240927-FI2, but the licence itself is real. Anjouan offers light supervision and no effective player complaint mechanism.

How popular is 1xBit?
Measured on its main domain alone, 1xBit looks small, but because it relies on mirror domains, this measure undercounts its audience. The on-chain deposit tracker we use does not cover it, and it has no row on DappRadar's gambling leaderboard.
Incidents and red flags
Casino review sites, including Bitcoin.com's gambling section, have blacklisted 1xBit. They report about $60,000 in unpaid winnings and a separate confiscation of about $44,000. We have not confirmed these reports with a court or regulator, and they remain allegations attributed to review sites.
