Bellingcat Volunteers Find 1xBet Stream Sites

1xBet is an official partner of FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain FC .

The gambling platform takes bets on thousands of amateur sports events that are live-streamed to its website from secret locations.

Bellingcat’s Discord community geolocated more than 10 new sites which host football, basketball, ice hockey and cricket tournaments.

The venues either denied any connection to the bookmaker or did not respond to questions.

Teams in the “Gold League 2” play cricket in an industrial warehouse in the city of Yaroslavl .

IPBL is a basketball league that hosts multiple divisions in different regions in Russia .

The IPBL Pro Division is visible in footage on Yandex and in multiple photos on the gym’s VK profile.

A website associated with the league names a venue in the Indian state of Gujarat , but no reliable trace of the venue could be found.

Shadows cast by the sun in some live-streams allowed us to use the Shadow Finder tool.

The result intersected near Gujarat , making it likely the venue is located in this part of India .
