9betdownload[.]com overview
The behavior of rogue websites might vary depending on the visitor's IP address (geolocation). In other words, this information may dictate the content encountered on and through such pages.
When we accessed 9betdownload[.]com, it presented us with a deceptive download – "Your download link is ready.../ If link is not clickable, copy and paste it into the address bar". This content can be particularly convincing if the user is redirected to 9betdownload[.]com after intentionally clicking a "download" option on a website that uses rogue advertising networks.
Websites like 9betdownload[.]com are typically used to distribute adware, browser hijackers, fake anti-viruses, and various PUAs. We have even discovered instances of rogue sites proliferating trojans, ransomware, and other malware. Similar webpages that we have inspected recently promoted installers bundled with a browser hijacker named App and the following fake extensions – "Google Translate", "Google Docs", and "Chrome".
Furthermore, at the time of research, 9betdownload[.]com requested its browser notification delivery to be allowed. If enabled, this site will display notifications/advertisements endorsing online scams, untrustworthy/dangerous software, and even malware.

Browser notification spam in general
Factor1right[.]com, worldcommonjournal[.]com, bilsteringdates[.]com, and fastcaptcha[.]top are merely some examples of rogue pages we have analyzed recently.
These websites deliver browser notifications promoting deceptive and malicious content. Note that any legitimate services and products encountered through these advertisements are highly unlikely to be endorsed by their developers/creators. Instead, this promotion is most likely undertaken by scammers who abuse the content's affiliate programs to obtain illegitimate commissions.
How did 9betdownload[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites cannot deliver browser notifications without user consent. Therefore, you've likely accessed 9betdownload[.]com at some point and permitted the ad delivery by selecting "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on this webpage.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
To avoid receiving undesirable browser notifications – do not permit suspicious websites to display them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We advise ignoring or denying notification requests from such pages (i.e., selecting "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
Should you keep experiencing continuous unprompted redirects to questionable sites, it could be due to adware installed on the browser or system. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
