The cash ring in Akbou sat in front of the brand that leads Algeria’s gambling demand.
The mobile judicial police brigade in Akbou, Béjaïa wilaya, had dismantled a network tied to 1xBet. The file opened on a psychotropics case and led officers to a 25-year-old man. He used 1xBet and moved US dollars through RedotPay, Binance, PayPal and Mobcash. From him, the investigation reached 11 people related to 1xBet.
The group went before the competent court, where two suspects were remanded in custody and nine were placed under judicial supervision.
In Blask data for September 2026, 1xBet held 80% of search demand in Algeria. The margin over Melbet, the next name, is wide.
1xBet held 78.9% of Algeria’s projected revenue (CEB) in September 2026.
The Akbou arrests are one cash desk: dinars taken in, dollars moved out.
