You open a tip, go to place it, and the bookmaker you land on looks exactly like the one you used last week. Same menu, same match card, same quick games in the corner but the name on top is different. Betwinner, Melbet, Linebet, 1xBet, 1xBit, 1win<\/strong>: bettors mix these up constantly, and the confusion costs real money when a withdrawal stalls and you realise you are writing to the wrong support team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is how to sort them using what the sites print in their own footers and what the regulator publishes \u2014 not what a forum thread says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three different things people call a \u201cclone\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The word gets used for three situations that have nothing in common for your account:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Same company, two brands.<\/strong> The operator named in the footer is identical. Melbet and Astekbet both name Pelican Entertainment B.V.<\/em>; Linebet and Xparibet both name Aspro N.V.<\/em>. Switching between them changes the logo and nothing else, same owner, same rules, same people deciding on your payout.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Different companies, same platform.<\/strong> Betwinner names Prevailer B.V.<\/em>, 1xBet names Caecus N.V.<\/em> two separate operators. Yet put the same Premier League fixture side by side and the event codes and probability percentages on the match cards line up one for one. That points to shared data or shared site components, not shared ownership. Your account, balance and disputes are still separate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Different companies that merely look alike.<\/strong> A similar colour scheme or a familiar \u201c1\u201d in the name. This is the weakest link of all, and it is where most of the \u201cis 1win the same as 1xBet?\u201d questions come from.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Only the first two matter when you choose where to bet. The third is cosmetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
