I couldn't find the reliable info on this and I'm confused now. Can you point me to the official source on both sides are same company with slightly different operations?
How do you know that the owner of these platforms is the same person?
There's plenty of proof out there to suggest that 1xbet and 1xbit are probably owned by the same people.

Well, I assumed that since 1xbet is mostly a FIAT bookie, then it may use traditional methods to fund the accounts, like Paypal and cards. Usually, those payment processors have mechanisms to deal with fraud to some level.
Payment methods like paypal themselves are plagued by fraud cases(Chargebacks etc) which is why they aren't the best way to deal with scams.
