OUR RATING – 9.4/10
BONUS – 700K NGN
PROMO CODE – 100NGN
OVERVIEW
1win is a well-established sports betting brand, which has gained a lot of popularity in the Nigerian betting community. We’ve had this review page on our website for several years now and we always aim to keep it as fresh as possible.
1win originally opened 2016 and it isn’t an exclusively a Nigerian betting site, they operate in over 30 different countries all round the world. It is also worth mentioning that they fully support Nigerian Naira (NGN) as well as local payment providers and local banks.
Starting from 2025, 1win operates under valid Nigerian betting licenses, issued by two local regulatory organizations: the Lagos State Lotteries and Gaming Authority (National Sports Betting Permit No. 00000045) and the Oyo State Gaming Board (License No. 046GB/CASB/230007).
1win’s website uses an interesting innovative approach with its functionality and overall UI design. You can watch live streams of football games and take advantage of a number of betting-related features to help you play smarter. There are also apps for Android and iOS and even Windows, which you can download and install from the official website. Using mobile apps will give you additional bonuses and boosts, which we will cover in more detail in the “Promotions” section below.
REGISTRATION
The registration process at 1win is quick and stress-free, so you should be able to get started in no time. There are a couple of different registration options to choose from, which we will tell you about right now.
1win has a single standard registration form which all new users from Nigeria need to complete. The form itself is short and won’t take up a lot of your time. You will need to enter your phone number and a desired password for your future account. Optionally, you can enter our exclusive promo code 100NGN if you would like to get an extra warm welcome.
Once you complete the above step, follow the instructions on the screen to complete the registration process.
Like we originally mentioned, the entire process is pretty quick – creating an account will take under 1 minute.
WELCOME OFFER
The welcome offer for new players at 1win is always an intriguing topic – they have a pretty generous 500% bonus up to ₦1,000,000. This is one of the biggest welcome offers you can currently claim in Nigeria at the moment. However, it is worth mentioning that these welcome bonus funds will not apply to the sports section.
The minimum amount you need to deposit to activate this offer is ₦1,000. 1win’s welcome package is split into four individual bonuses: 100% for your first deposit, 120% for your second deposit, 130% for the third one and 150% for the fourth one.
SUPPORT
Support at 1win has a positive and a negative side, which likely any support service has. Nevertheless, let’s start with the positive part – the waiting time on live chat is always under a minute and support agents are available 24/7. You will not have to wait for an operator to come online if you find yourself needing assistance, someone is always there.
Now, let’s cover what we didn’t exactly like about 1Win support. While they are always exceptionally quick to answer your chat request – there are some issues when it comes to answering actual questions. Don’t get us wrong, our questions were answered, explaining them just took more effort than we would normally expect. Despite that, the response time is quick, so you will always have a chance to talk with somebody and you will eventually have your query resolved.
BETTING MARKETS AND ODDS
1Win currently offer betting on over 30 different sports – they have a wide variety of football games available on a daily basis as well as all sorts of different e-sports disciplines. Still, you are probably most interested in knowing what the offering is like for football, how many games there are to choose from and what kind of markets are available. Let’s take a look at some real-life examples to give you a clear and accurate picture of what to expect here.
On any given day you will see over 1300 football games open for betting, these cover pretty much any country, competition and tournament you can think of. Now, let’s see what an average game looks like in terms of its market variety. Most games will have between 500 and 700 markets for you to choose from, along with a wide range of various combinations and special bets. As you may already expect, high-profile games will have way more markets – usually between 700 and 1000.
LIVE STREAMING
Let’s also take a quick look at 1Win’s live betting section. The variety of content is similar to what we had already described above, so your favorite football game will likely have live coverage, which is definitely good news. Usually, 1win covers up to 100 live football games throughout the day, this number may significantly increase depending on the season, of course. Most live matches will have up to 300 markets offered throughout the entire game, high-profile games will have twice that amount. A lot of the live games will also have video coverage, so you can watch the actual game while you bet.
LIVE STREAMING
We have already mentioned this earlier, however in case you missed it – 1win has a built-in live streaming functionality. Most live games (especially football) come with a live stream, which you can watch while the game is in progress. You don’t have to pay anything to access these streams, you don’t even have to have any money in your account – they are available to all registered users.

DEPOSITS AND WITHDRAWALS
When 1win just opened their doors to Nigerian sports fans, they didn’t have direct support for Naira (NGN) – those days are long gone and now Nigerian Naira can be your main account currency.
You can top up your account using a direct bank transfer from any local Nigerian bank account. The same applies to withdrawals – you can withdraw your winnings directly to your bank account. There are just two things we’d recommend keeping in mind when it comes to payments: make sure that the names on your 1win account and your bank account are exactly the same and, when possible, withdraw funds to the same bank account that you used to make a deposit.
Also, 1win supports a long list of crypto assets, over 25 different cryptocurrencies are available for deposit and withdrawals.
The minimum deposit for bank account transfers is ₦100 and $5 for crypto deposits.
The minimum amount you can withdraw directly to your bank account is ₦1,000.
The minimum possible crypto withdrawal is $15.

Once you are logged in, you will see a green “Deposit” button in the top right corner of the screen. Press that button and you will be taken to the payments page, where you can proceed to the next step.

1win’s new player offer is split into four individual bonuses, all of which can add up to 500% and roughly around ₦1,000,000.

Responsible Betting
Sports betting should stay a form of entertainment, not a way to make money or recover losses. Take a short self-assessment to check your betting habits and learn more about safer gambling practices.
1WIN MOBILE
1win clearly pays attention to mobile optimization and the site feels like it was built with phone users in mind. This is important, because most local sports fans prefer to place bets and watch live streams from their mobile devices. 1win’s layout works well on a smaller screen, so before looking at any app-related features, it is worth covering how the mobile website performs.
We tested 1win’s mobile site on three different devices: an iPhone 14, a Google Pixel 7 and a slightly older Samsung Galaxy S20. This gave us a fair idea of how the site works on both newer and older smartphones. In each case, the website loaded quickly, the menus were easy to use and the main betting features worked as expected, we were also able to watch live football streams.
If you want to know more about the app, where to get it, how to install it and how to use it – we recommend checking out our 1win bet app.
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
Even on slightly older smartphones, the experience should still feel smooth enough for normal everyday betting and managing account actions like deposits and withdrawals.
One reason for this is that the main betting interface is divided into relatively simple standalone elements. Event cards, odds, menus and betting markets load independently, while many standard interface components such as icons, buttons and navigation elements can be stored by the browser after your first visit. This helps reduce the amount of content that needs to be loaded by your device when moving between different pages.
The only real limitation is related to the amount of information that sometimes has to fit the mobile screen. Individual matches can have a large number of betting markets, so going through all of them might require a lot of scrolling. To help with that, markets are split into separate sections and you can use filters such as Main, Quick, Total and Handicap to narrow things down.
USER INTERFACE
1win keeps the mobile interface rather simple despite the amount of betting content available. The layout mostly focuses on quick navigation, aiming to give you a clear pathway to what you are looking for without constantly having to return to the main sportsbook page.
Header Navigation
The top part of the mobile site gives you access to account management pages. You will see your selected currency and current account balance are displayed on the right side of the screen.
Next to the balance box, you will see a green “Deposit” button, which takes you directly to the payments page.
Sports Navigation Menu
The main sports navigation area sits directly below the header. The first row lets you switch between the available betting sections like Top, Live and Upcoming.
Next, you will see a horizontally scrollable menu listing popular betting categories, competitions and featured sections.
The main part of the page is then divided sub-section like Top Live and Top Upcoming. All events listed there display the competition, participants, match status and the odds for some main bet types.
When you go to open a match, the interface changes to show the event’s details and complete selection of all betting markets available.
Betslip
If you select an outcome (selection), the betslip will be available at the bottom of the screen. It remains visible while you continue browsing through games and markets, with a number indicator showing how many selections it currently holds.
Tapping on the betslip icon opens the full betslip view, where you can review your selections, check the odds, enter your stake and place the bet.
ANDROID APP
The android application can be downloaded directly from 1win’s official website. Open their website on your mobile device, scroll to the bottom of the page and press the “Android Application” button – this will start the download. Once the download is complete, you can open the “.apk” file and start the installation. After this point you are all set, app users also get a bonus – open the app, log in with your account and get a $100 (₦40,000) bonus.
IOS APP
The iOS app is not exactly what you would call an app, nevertheless it can still make it easier and quicker for you to access your player account. On an Apple device you can add 1win’s mobile website to your home screen, that way your account will always be just one tap away. In order to do it, follow these steps: open Safari and go to 1win website, press the “Share” button to open a dialogue window, tap the “Go to Home Screen” button and add it as an item to your home screen.
1WIN DESKTOP SITE OVERVIEW
A functional and user-friendly interface is important for any betting site, as it allows you to find the events and markets you need without spending too much time. Odds and selections should be clearly displayed, while the betslip section should be intuitive and easy to read. 1win uses a fairly modern layout with clearly separated areas for navigation and betting. Let’s take a closer look at how the desktop sports betting section is structured.
- Header: The header gives you quick access to the main sections of the platform. As a newcomer, you can also use this area to log in or register a new account. Once signed in, you will have access to your account balance and payment pages.
- Left sidebar – Navigation menu: Unlike many traditional sportsbooks, 1win uses a compact sidebar with icons rather than a long list of sports. This menu provides access to the main platform features, while the expandable sports section allows you to switch between Top, Live, Esports and other betting categories. This smaller menu leaves more room for the actual betting interface, although it might take a little time to get used to the navigation.
- Center section – Betting interface and markets: The middle part of the screen is where most of the betting activities take place. The top of the page holds shortcuts to popular competitions and featured events. Next, you will see the area where individual event cards display the participants, scores and available odds. Selecting a match opens its details betting page, where you can see all markets and filter them based on various categories.
- Betslip: The betslip is located on the right side of the desktop layout, which means it always remains accessible while you browse through sports and markets. Clicking on an outcome adds the selection to your betslip, where you can review the odds, enter your stake and check your possible payout before confirming the bet.
