The following features are available to all registered users:

These tools can be accessed through the account settings section. Once applied, certain restrictions such as self-exclusion cannot be reversed until the designated period has expired.

Risk Self-Assessment

Users who are concerned about their gambling habits are encouraged to complete a self-assessment test available on the platform. This questionnaire is designed to help individuals reflect on their betting behavior and identify potential signs of problematic use.

Support and Professional Resources

If you or someone you know requires assistance related to gambling-related harm, the following types of organizations provide confidential support:

  • National problem gambling helplines operating in your country
  • Non-governmental counseling services specializing in behavioral addiction
  • International organizations such as Gamblers Anonymous, which maintains resources and local chapters across Africa

Users are encouraged to seek professional advice if their gambling activity is causing financial, emotional, or social difficulties. The platform cooperates with support organizations and may refer users to appropriate resources where concerns are identified.

Anti-Money Laundering

1win operates in full compliance with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorist Financing (CTF) obligations applicable in the jurisdictions where it is licensed. These obligations are not discretionary. All users are subject to the policies described in this section.

Identity Verification (KYC)

All accounts are subject to Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures. Verification is required at the time of withdrawal and may be triggered at any point during account activity based on transaction volume or risk indicators.

KYC documentation typically includes:

  • Valid government-issued identification (national ID, passport, or driver’s license)
  • Proof of current residential address issued within the last three months
  • Documentation confirming ownership of the payment method in use

Documents submitted for verification are reviewed by the compliance team and must be authentic, legible, and currently valid.

Transaction Monitoring

All financial activity on the platform is subject to continuous monitoring. The compliance system is designed to detect:

  • Unusually large or frequent deposits inconsistent with account history
  • Withdrawal patterns that suggest layering or structuring of funds
  • Repeated transactions across multiple accounts linked by common details
  • Activity inconsistent with the user’s declared source of funds

Detection of Suspicious Activity

Where the platform identifies activity that raises AML or CTF concerns, the following actions may be taken:

  • A request for additional documentation or a source of funds declaration
  • A temporary hold on withdrawals pending compliance review
  • Escalation to the relevant regulatory or law enforcement authority as required by law

Account Restrictions and Fund Freezing

In the event of a confirmed or suspected policy violation, 1win reserves the right to:

  • Suspend or permanently close the account
  • Freeze funds held within the account pending investigation
  • Report the matter to applicable financial intelligence authorities

Users found to have engaged in money laundering, fraud, or the financing of illegal activities will be permanently banned from the platform, and relevant funds may be forfeited in accordance with legal requirements.

Privacy Policy

1win is committed to protecting the personal data of all users in accordance with applicable data protection laws. This section outlines the categories of data collected, the purposes for which it is used, and the rights available to users regarding their personal information.

Data Collected

The platform collects personal data at the point of registration and throughout account activity. Categories of data collected include:

  • Identity data: Full name, date of birth, nationality, and government-issued identification numbers
  • Contact data: Email address, phone number, and residential address
  • Financial data: Payment method details, transaction history, and account balances
  • Technical data: IP address, device identifiers, browser type, and session logs
  • Behavioral data: Betting history, account preferences, and interaction patterns

How Data Is Used

Collected data is used for the following purposes:

  • Account creation, verification, and ongoing management
  • Processing deposits, withdrawals, and bet settlements
  • Compliance with AML, KYC, and regulatory reporting obligations
  • Fraud prevention and security monitoring
  • Communication regarding account status, promotions, and policy updates
  • Improvement of platform services and user experience

Data is not sold to third parties for commercial purposes. It may be shared with licensed service providers, payment processors, and regulatory authorities solely to the extent required by applicable law or platform operations.

User Rights

Users have the following rights regarding their personal data:

  • Access: Request a copy of the personal data held on your account
  • Correction: Request corrections to inaccurate or outdated information
  • Deletion: Request removal of personal data, subject to legal retention obligations
  • Restriction: Request that data processing be limited in specific circumstances
  • Portability: Request transfer of your data to another service provider where technically feasible
  • Objection: Object to certain types of data processing, including direct marketing

Requests related to personal data rights can be submitted through the platform’s official support channels. Responses will be provided within the timeframe required by applicable data protection legislation.

Security

1win maintains a comprehensive security infrastructure designed to protect user accounts, personal data, and financial transactions. The measures described below reflect the platform’s commitment to maintaining a secure and trustworthy environment for all users.

Data Encryption

All data transmitted between users and the platform is protected using industry-standard Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption. This applies to login sessions, account management actions, payment processing, and any other exchange of sensitive information.

Data stored on platform servers is encrypted at rest using robust cryptographic standards to prevent unauthorized access in the event of a breach.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Users are strongly advised to enable two-factor authentication on their accounts. When activated, 2FA requires a secondary verification step, such as a one-time code sent to your registered mobile number or email address, in addition to your standard password. This significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized account access.

Account Activity Monitoring

The platform employs automated systems to monitor account activity for signs of unauthorized access or suspicious behavior, including:

  • Login attempts from unrecognized devices or geographic locations
  • Multiple failed authentication attempts
  • Unusual transaction patterns following account access
  • Simultaneous sessions from different locations

Where anomalous activity is detected, the system may trigger a temporary account lock and notify the registered user for confirmation.

User Responsibilities

Users are also responsible for maintaining the security of their own accounts. Best practices include:

  • Using a strong, unique password not shared with other services
  • Not disclosing login credentials to any third party
  • Logging out of the platform when using shared or public devices
  • Reporting any suspected unauthorized activity to the support team without delay

Incident Response

In the event of a confirmed security incident affecting user data or account integrity, 1win will notify affected users and relevant authorities in accordance with applicable data protection and regulatory requirements. The platform maintains documented incident response procedures to ensure a prompt and structured reaction to any breach.
