1xBit Withdrawal Problems? Not Paying Out, Blocked Accounts and Refund Options
Licence status, what the record shows and the routes open to players anywhere, with sources. A listing is a record, not an allegation of wrongdoing.

If 1xBit is not paying out, has blocked your account or has withheld winnings, this page sets out what the public record shows and the recovery routes open to players anywhere. 1xBit is operated by Oceaventure Limited, a company registered in the British Virgin Islands (company number 2156948), trading on Anjouan Gaming Authority licence ALSI-202409027-FI2, which the Anjouan register recorded as valid when checked on 7 September 2026, with an expiry only eight days later. The site's own terms could not be read that day. If you have lost money to 1xBit, or lost a lot of money there, the sections below cover withdrawal delays, blocked accounts, confiscated winnings, silence from support and where a complaint can go.

- OCEAVENTURE LIMITED, the company 1xbit.com's own licence configuration endpoint names as owner and operator, registered in the British Virgin Islands under company number 2156948 at ABM Chambers, Columbus Centre, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands. The Anjouan Gaming Authority register carries the same company against both 1xbit.com and 1xbitx.com.

Licensed: the Anjouan Gaming Authority public licence register, read 7 September 2026, carries 1xbit.com under OCEAVENTURE LIMITED on licence ALSI-202409027-FI2 (type b2c), issued 2024-09-16, expiry 2026-09-15. The licence number printed on 1xbit.com's own licence configuration endpoint, ALSI-20240927-FI2, has one digit fewer than the register's number for the same company and domain. The register's expiry date, 15 September 2026, falls eight days after this read.
Our free licence checker covers this and every other operator we hold a file on.
Who operates 1xBit
1xbit.com's home page geo-blocked on 7 September 2026, resolving to a block page with no entity or licence text on it, so the chain here rests on one other part of the brand's own domain: its licence configuration endpoint, which answered HTTP 200 that day at 12:26 UTC. That endpoint names Oceaventure Limited as owner and operator, gives a British Virgin Islands registration number of 2156948 and a registered address at ABM Chambers, Columbus Centre, Road Town, Tortola, and states that the site is licensed and regulated by the Government of the Autonomous Island of Anjouan, Union of Comoros under licence number ALSI-20240927-FI2. That is an Anjouan Gaming Authority internet gaming licence, an offshore permission of the Union of the Comoros; it is not a UK Gambling Commission licence and carries no GamStop coverage.
The Anjouan Gaming Authority's public licence register, read the same day, carries a matching row: OCEAVENTURE LIMITED, status valid, type b2c, issued 2024-09-16, expiry 2026-09-15, against the domains 1xbit.com and 1xbitx.com. The company name and the domain both match. The licence number does not match exactly: the register prints ALSI-202409027-FI2, one digit longer than the ALSI-20240927-FI2 the site's own endpoint prints for the same company and domain, a difference of a single digit rather than a different number entirely. The register's expiry date, 15 September 2026, is only eight days after this read, so the row that supports this page's verified status is close to lapsing. The endpoint's licence sentence also carries an unresolved template placeholder, '{{actualDomain}}', in place of the site's own name, which this page reports rather than corrects.
What could be read of the terms
No clause of 1xBit's terms could be read on 7 September 2026. The home page fetch resolved to a geo-block page rather than the site itself, so no terms link was found there; the direct terms request logged the error 'no terms link found on the homepage'; and a Wayback Machine snapshot request for the terms URL returned HTTP 404. A Wayback snapshot of the home page from 4 February 2026 was also attempted and did not return a usable rendered page. Nothing on withdrawal conditions, KYC or source-of-funds holds, the complaint window and route, governing law, dormant-balance fees or a maximum win could therefore be quoted, and none is stated below or anywhere else on this page.
Withdrawal delayed or refused
1xBit's own terms could not be read on 7 September 2026: the home page resolved to a geo-block page rather than the site itself, no terms link could be found, and a Wayback Machine request for the terms URL returned HTTP 404. That means no clause on withdrawal timing, minimum or maximum payout, wager requirements or payout method can be quoted here, and none should be assumed. What is on the public record is the AskGamblers listing, fetched the same day, which records a complaint describing a rejected deposit of 50 Jordanian dinar (about £55 / $70) that was not refunded, with support described as unresponsive; that complaint is about a deposit rather than a withdrawal specifically, but it touches the same route, money going into or out of an account and support not answering. Only two complaints are logged on that listing in total, so this is a thin published record rather than a pattern. Keep every message you send, the payment reference and the date, since no terms text exists yet to test a request against.
Account blocked or frozen
1xBit can apparently close an account without explanation: the one AskGamblers complaint on record that concerns an account, rather than a deposit, describes an account closed with $600 (about £470) withheld and no explanation given. No clause of the terms could be read to say what triggers a closure, what notice is given, or what happens to a balance on closure, because the terms could not be reached on 7 September 2026 either on the live site, which resolved to a geo-block page, or through the Wayback Machine, which returned HTTP 404 for the terms URL. The AskGamblers listing also notes that 1xBit provides no deposit, wager, loss or session limits despite offering a self-exclusion tool, so a player who wants to stop playing has fewer built-in controls to rely on than the presence of a self-exclusion option might suggest. If your account is blocked, ask the operator in writing what clause or reason was applied and request your transaction history and the balance at the time of closure, since no published policy is on record to check that answer against.
Winnings voided or confiscated
No attributed report of winnings being voided or confiscated at 1xBit was found in the sources read for this page: the two complaints logged on AskGamblers on 7 September 2026 concern an account closure and a rejected deposit, not a confiscated win, and casino.guru's review, which sometimes lists confiscation complaints, could not be read that day because the fetch returned HTTP 403. That is an absence of evidence rather than evidence of absence: the terms that would normally set out confiscation grounds, such as bonus abuse, multi-accounting or a failed verification, could not be read either, on the live site or through the Wayback Machine. What can be said is the licence position: the Anjouan register carried the operator's licence as valid on 7 September 2026 with an expiry only eight days later, and the licence number the site itself prints differs from the register's by one digit. If a win is withheld or reduced, ask in writing for the specific clause relied on and the calculation behind any reduction, and keep every message dated.
Site not responding or gone dark
1xBit has not gone dark in the sense of disappearing. 1xbit.com resolves, and its licence configuration endpoint answered normally on 7 September 2026. But the home page itself did not render that day: the request returned HTTP 203 and landed on a block page at 1xbit.com, carrying no menu, no terms link and no way through to the site's content. A Wayback Machine snapshot of the home page from 4 February 2026 was also tried and did not return a usable rendered page, and a snapshot request for the terms page returned HTTP 404. So for a player trying to reach support, the terms or a complaints page from the location this page was checked from, the practical experience is the same as a site that is not answering: a wall rather than a way in. Where the site is reachable, the AskGamblers listing describes support as unresponsive on both complaints it logs. Try reaching 1xBit from a different network or device before concluding support has gone quiet, note the exact page you land on, and use the published support address in writing.
What the record shows
Our research found no substantiated public regulatory or court action against 1xBit. This file reflects licence and status records only, and is not a suggestion of wrongdoing.
Is 1xBit legit?
The honest answer to "is it legit" has parts. 1xBit holds licence ALSI-202409027-FI2 and is recorded as licensed under Anjouan Gaming Authority, Autonomous Island of Anjouan, Union of the Comoros. Nothing substantiated from a regulator or court sits on the 1xBit file. With no UK Gambling Commission licence recorded for it, GamStop does not cover it and no UK adjudicator can hear a dispute about it, which counts for more than any star rating once money is stuck. Holding a licence is no assurance that players are treated fairly.
Complaints about 1xBit
A fetch of casino.guru's review page for 1xBit on 7 September 2026 returned HTTP 403, so no Safety Index, complaints-tab count or unfair-terms flag from that source could be added here. AskGamblers, fetched the same day, records a CasinoRank of 6.9 out of 10 and a player rating of 9 out of 10, both from only 2 reviews, alongside 2 logged complaints with 0 resolved and an average response time of 4 days. The two complaint titles describe an account closed without an explanation with $600 (about £470) withheld, and a rejected deposit of 50 Jordanian dinar (about £55 / $70) that was not refunded, with support described as unresponsive. The same listing states that 1xBit offers no deposit limits, wager limits, loss limits or time and session controls despite providing a self-exclusion tool. With only two complaints logged on the one site that could be read, this is a thin sample and not a pattern; it is reported as read, not as a finding about how the operator behaves generally.
A complaint about 1xBit should go to 1xBit itself first, in writing, through the complaints channel it publishes or its support address where it publishes none, with every reply kept. If 1xBit does not resolve it, escalation runs through the Anjouan route set out under Where you are playing from, because the Anjouan authority does not handle player complaints itself. The sequence is set out in how to escalate a casino complaint.
What the licence requires
1xBit is regulated by Anjouan Gaming Authority, Autonomous Island of Anjouan, Union of the Comoros under licence ALSI-202409027-FI2, and no UK Gambling Commission licence is recorded for it, so GamStop and the UK dispute-resolution framework do not apply. Read more on what an Anjouan licence means for UK players.
An Anjouan licence sets a light-touch framework. Operators are expected to hold player funds responsibly and publish their terms, but enforcement is limited and there is no UK-style ombudsman behind it. The obligations still exist in the operator's own terms, and those terms are usually where a withheld-winnings or bonus dispute is won or lost.
Anjouan Gaming does not handle player complaints itself: its third-party complaint policy expects a written complaint to the licensee first, then a referral to an approved dispute resolution provider, then the courts. A formal, deadlined complaint citing the operator's own published terms, supported by your account and payment history, is therefore the first step.
If you are trying to recover money
Because 1xBit is licensed in Anjouan (Comoros) and not by the UK Gambling Commission, no UK adjudicator can order a refund, so recovery runs as a claim built on 1xBit's own complaints process and contractual terms, taken forward with a regulated legal partner where the evidence supports it. Preserve your account evidence first, then see how gambling-loss recovery works, the evidence you need to recover losses, and how to escalate a casino complaint.
1xBit sits outside the UK framework. For the wider picture, read getting money back from an offshore casino. If you self-excluded before 1xBit took your deposits, read getting money back after gambling on GamStop. For the escalation order that applies to 1xBit, licensed in Anjouan (Comoros), use the free complaint route finder.
If the amount is large
On a large 1xBit withdrawal the striking feature of the Anjouan regime is what it does not say. The Authority publishes no customer due diligence threshold, no source-of-funds requirement and no timescale for paying a player; the licence conditions and the code of conduct reach only as far as requiring 1xBit to segregate player balances from operating funds and to resolve complaints within reasonable timelines. So there is no external figure at which 1xBit must verify you, and no external deadline once 1xBit starts. The document that decides the position is the 1xBit terms, which is where the verification rights, the daily, weekly or monthly withdrawal caps and any maximum win clause on a bonus live. Save the version in force on the day of the win, because terms change and the one that was live when the balance built is the one to hold 1xBit to. The pattern to expect on a £50,000 / $65,000 balance is a quieter 1xBit host than the one who answered on a £2,000 / $2,600 payout, and payout caps that stretch the money out over months. The complaint route and its 30-day clock are set out under Where you are playing from.
Where you are playing from
The Anjouan complaint policy is short and it is the whole route against 1xBit, whichever country you are in. Step one is a complaint to the 1xBit complaints procedure, which the policy routes through the interactive seal where the 1xBit site carries one, with 30 calendar days for 1xBit to respond and a 14-calendar-day limit for disputes about a game outcome. Step two, once those 30 days have passed without resolution or reply, is a referral to one of the approved ADR providers: EGIS-ADR, Axion ADR, iGaming ADR or CADRE B.V. Participation is mandatory for 1xBit, 1xBit bears the costs, and all communications must be in English. Complaints from players in an excluded territory fall outside the policy altogether, which is why the country paragraphs below carry real weight here. The Authority does not adjudicate complaints and publishes no deadline for the ADR stage, so the clock that matters is the 30-day one. Beyond ADR the remaining step is a court claim against the entity that operates 1xBit.
If you are in the United States
Online gambling in the United States is regulated state by state, and 1xBit holds no state licence, so no state regulator has authority over your 1xBit account or over the money 1xBit is holding. That is the point a bipartisan coalition of 50 state attorneys general put to the Department of Justice in August 2025, asking it to act against offshore platforms operating without proper licensure: enforcement, not a refund scheme for a 1xBit player. A complaint to your state attorney general or state consumer protection office puts the 1xBit dispute on record. The money route against 1xBit is the Anjouan route above, the one attached to the 1xBit licence.
If you are in the EU
Austria and Germany are the two EU markets where courts have recognised a refund claim against an operator like 1xBit with no domestic licence. The Austrian Supreme Court settled it in 1 Ob 229/20p: no Austrian concession, no effective contract, stake repayable, which is what an Austrian 1xBit player relies on. In Germany the Court of Justice of the EU (Case C-440/23, 16 April 2026) confirmed that such restitution claims are compatible with EU law, which is the ground an EU 1xBit player stands on, on facts involving Malta-licensed operators rather than 1xBit; the Federal Court of Justice’s lead decision, I ZR 216/25, is pending after a hearing on 17 September 2026, so a German 1xBit claim is not yet settled law. The Netherlands is different: since the Hoge Raad’s ruling of 3 July 2026 an unlicensed operator’s contracts, those of 1xBit included, are not automatically void, so a Dutch 1xBit player has no automatic refund and only a case-by-case claim against 1xBit. Outside those three countries we have found no sourced domestic route against 1xBit, and against 1xBit the Anjouan route above applies.
If you are in Canada or Australia
A Canadian player outside Ontario has no sourced domestic route against 1xBit: the other provinces run government monopolies, and Ontario’s own bodies reach Ontario-registered sites only. The AGCO states that a complaint to it will not resolve a dispute and that it cannot make a gaming site such as 1xBit return your money, while iGaming Ontario has no legal relationship with unregulated operators such as 1xBit. In Australia online casinos are banned under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001; you can complain to ACMA about the breach, but ACMA says Australian regulators cannot help when an illegal service withholds winnings and suggests contacting the licensing authority overseas. For 1xBit that comes back to the Anjouan route above, the one attached to the 1xBit licence.
If you are in the UK
Being in the UK adds no route against 1xBit, because 1xBit holds no Gambling Commission licence and the Commission’s protections travel with the licence, not the player. GAMSTOP covers only operators licensed in Great Britain, so it did not block 1xBit. The ADR duty binds Commission licensees only, which 1xBit is not, and IBAS adjudicates only disputes with operators registered with it, a registration this file does not record for 1xBit. The Commission has no powers to resolve individual gambling complaints or help consumers get their money back from 1xBit, and instead asks for unlicensed sites to be reported to intelligencereports@gamblingcommission.gov.uk. The route open to you against 1xBit is the Anjouan route above, the one attached to the 1xBit licence.

Common questions about 1xBit
Can I get my money back from 1xBit?
Possibly. 1xBit is licensed in Anjouan (Comoros), outside the UK system, so no UK adjudicator can order a refund. Recovery instead works through the operator's own complaints process, the evidence your payment history supports, and where appropriate a regulated legal partner. The right route depends on your evidence, and our initial assessment is free and confidential.
Who operates 1xBit, and is it licensed?
1xBit is operated by OCEAVENTURE LIMITED, the company 1xbit.com's own licence configuration endpoint names as owner and operator, registered in the British Virgin Islands under company number 2156948 at ABM Chambers, Columbus Centre, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands. The Anjouan Gaming Authority register carries the same company against both 1xbit.com and 1xbitx.com., licensed in Anjouan (Comoros), under licence ALSI-202409027-FI2. It is recorded as licensed under Anjouan Gaming Authority, Autonomous Island of Anjouan, Union of the Comoros. This licence sits outside GamStop, so a GamStop self-exclusion does not block accounts held under it.
Does 1xBit accept UK players?
1xBit's position on UK players is not clear-cut. The terms could not be read: the home page fetch on 7 September 2026 found no terms link on the page (it resolved to a geo-block page), the direct terms request returned no content, and a Wayback Machine snapshot request for the same terms URL returned HTTP 404, so no restricted-territories clause is available to quote. Whichever applies, the licence in force when you played is what shapes the routes open to you.
Is there anything documented on file about 1xBit?
Our research found no substantiated public regulator or court action against 1xBit. This file reflects licence and status records only, and is not a suggestion of wrongdoing.
What should I do if 1xBit will not pay out or has frozen my account?
Preserve the evidence first: screenshot your balance, the stuck withdrawal, chat transcripts and emails, and save the terms as they read today. Then make one formal written complaint and escalate to the right authority or a regulated legal partner. Avoid closing the account or accepting a partial settlement before you have taken advice.
Will 1xBit know I contacted Clinton & Co?
No. Nothing is sent to any operator without your written consent. The first an operator hears of your case is a formal complaint you have approved.
Is 1xBit licensed, and who regulates it?
1xbit.com's own licence configuration endpoint states it is licensed by the Government of the Autonomous Island of Anjouan, Union of Comoros under licence ALSI-20240927-FI2. The Anjouan Gaming Authority's public register, read 7 September 2026, carries a matching row for the same company and domain under the number ALSI-202409027-FI2, valid, expiring 15 September 2026, only eight days after this read. The two numbers differ by one digit.
Why does 1xbit.com show a blocked page instead of the site?
On 7 September 2026 the home page request returned HTTP 203 and resolved to a block page at 1xbit.com. Only the site's licence configuration endpoint answered normally that day; the terms page could not be reached either on the live site or through the Wayback Machine, which returned HTTP 404 for that URL.
Who operates 1xBit?
The site's own licence configuration endpoint names Oceaventure Limited, a British Virgin Islands company registered under number 2156948 at ABM Chambers, Columbus Centre, Road Town, Tortola, as owner and operator.
Is there a public complaint record for 1xBit?
AskGamblers, fetched 7 September 2026, logs two complaints, neither resolved: an account closed without explanation with $600 (about £470) withheld, and a rejected 50 Jordanian dinar (about £55 / $70) deposit not refunded. casino.guru's review could not be read that day (HTTP 403).
Is 1xBit holding your money?
The sooner the evidence is preserved, the stronger the file. Our initial assessment is free and strictly confidential.
