Despite the ban on activities, an open criminal case, the founders being on the international wanted list, the owners do not disdain earning round sums.
In Russia, the company is closely associated with the pseudo-legal 1Xstavka (Bookmaker PAB LLC). The connection is visible to the naked eye even at the level of a single logo and website style. But not everything is smooth with Bookmaker PAB LLC. According to our tax source, as of October 1 of this year, the legal entity owed Russia almost 8 billion rubles in taxes.
Instead of paying off the tax debt, the company owners are looking for an opportunity to engage the tax authorities and resolve the issue. And they are accustomed to solving issues in “non-standard” and illegal ways. This is confirmed by the acting Minister of Sports of the Penza Region, Grigory Kabelsky, who was detained a year ago while receiving a bribe. He protected the fake competitions organized by bookmakers in the region. In particular, we are talking about amateur hockey tournaments that were organized in Penza by the illegal bookmaker 1xbet.
To say that Bookmaker PAB LLC does not have the funds to pay taxes will also not work. In August of this year, the company made a bet on real estate and purchased the “Old Village” indoor market with an area of almost 6,000 sq.m. for almost 390 million. in St. Petersburg. A trifle, but nice, as they say.
According to the Kommersant newspaper, 1xBet has already shown interest in the real estate market. In 2019, entities associated with the bookmaker bought the Kursk corporation Grinn, which owns the Line food chain and several large shopping and entertainment centers in the Central Federal District of Russia.
