In Ukraine, authorities have uncovered the movement of funds related to 1xBet and other unlicensed iGaming operators through verified crypto accounts linked to at least two individuals. This information comes from the Anti-Corruption portal, citing investigation materials.
The blockchain analytics company Chainalysis has attributed transfers exceeding $1.7 million to the 1xBet cluster, along with $427,000 to BC.GAME, $146,500 to CloudBet, and nearly $72,000 to Shuffle.
The accounts involved in the case were opened on cryptocurrency exchanges such as Binance, Bybit, BingX, and Bitget. The investigation views these operations as a potential mechanism for concealing the origins of the funds, referring to the individuals involved as account owners. Their procedural status has not been specified.
