1win review: wide esports coverage, a narrow withdrawal list

1win started in 2016 as FirstBet and now runs under a Curaçao licence held by 1Win N.V. It is one of the broader esports books on this site: we rank it on 14 pages, from CS2, Dota 2, LoL and Valorant to Rainbow Six Siege, StarCraft II and Age of Empires, plus The International, the LoL World Championship and the Six Invitational.

Its cashier is the catch. Our data lists 19 ways to deposit, including Pix, UPI and seven coins, but only five ways to withdraw. Below: the Dota 2 markets, the payment gap, the bonus maths and the alternatives.

Our verdict: a strong pick for coverage across the main esports, especially from Asia and Latin America. Plan your withdrawal method before you deposit.

Short answer

Is 1win good for esports betting?

Yes, for range: 1win is ranked on 14 of our game and tournament pages and takes local payments in many markets. Its weak point is withdrawals: five methods in our data against 19 for deposits, so choose one that works both ways.

Bonus maths LiveExample data

What a sports welcome bonus costs to clear

The live headline offer for 1win is on the card at the top of this page. Its full sports terms were not confirmed for this review, so the worked example uses common terms on a $100 bonus to show what wagering costs at esports margins.

$41 expected net value

Bonus $100 · 10x turnover · singles at odds 1.80+

Turnover costs the margin on what you bet: 10 × $100 = $1,000, and 5.9% of that is $59.

What it means: wager with singles on match winner, the cheapest esports market; accumulators multiply the margin you pay.

Bonus $1,050 +$100
Turnover 10 × the bonus $1,000
Expected cost, singles $1,000 × 5.9% margin −$59
Expected cost, 3-leg accumulators margin per slip 1 − (1 − 5.9%)^3 = 16.6% −$166
Net value with singles with accumulators: −$66 $41
Wagering 10x bonus (example) Every extra 5x of wagering costs about another 5% of turnover at a 5% margin.
Minimum odds 1.80 (example) Rules out the short favourites that are common in tier-1 esports.

Pros and cons

What speaks for and against 1win

What we like

  • Broad esports coverage Ranked on 7 game and 7 tournament pages here.

  • Many currencies 47 in our data.

  • Closed in Europe's big markets Unavailable in the UK, Germany, Italy and Sweden in our data.

Who it suits

Who should bet at 1win

Good fit

  • You bet on several esports

    Ranked on 14 of our pages across shooters, MOBAs and strategy.

  • You pay with Pix or UPI

    Both are on the deposit list.

Look elsewhere

  • You want to withdraw to an e-wallet like Skrill

Our take: 1win covers more esports than most books in this list and is easy to fund. Before your first deposit, check that your withdrawal method is on its short payout list, and compare the Dota 2 match-winner price with one other book.
