License and Legality of 1win in Nigeria

Our gaming platform operates on the basis of the international Curaçao eGaming license number 8048/JAZ2018-040. It was issued to us by a special regulatory body Curaçao Gaming Control Board (GCB). This license allows 1win to provide online betting and casino services in various countries, including Nigeria. You can always find up-to-date information about the validity of our license on the 1win official website.

Our platform is operated by MFI Investments Ltd., which is located in Cyprus. This legal entity is responsible for ensuring that we comply with all licensing requirements. MFI Investments Ltd. also provides communication with the authorities of the Curaçao jurisdiction. The Curaçao license is one of the most recognized in the online gambling industry. It requires operators to adhere to strict universal standards in the field of security and fair play principles.

Previously, all gambling activities in Nigeria were regulated by the National Lottery Act 2005. So there was universal legislation throughout the country regarding lotteries, land-based casinos and online casinos. In 2024, the Supreme Court of Nigeria repealed this law. This means that now each state has the right to establish its own rules in gambling sphere and issue licenses to different operators.

Lagos has made the most progress in the context of legal regulation of gambling. Special body Lagos State Lotteries and Gaming Authority (LSLGA) regulates the activities of operators, including 1win, within the state. Similar bodies also exist in Oyo, Imo, Enugu and many other Nigerian states.

Yes, 1win is completely legal in Nigeria. Our online casino has an international Curaçao license number 8048/JAZ2018-040, which is officially recognized by the Nigerian government. We also regularly receive new licenses from the relevant local regulatory authorities of the various Nigerian states. This requirement only arose in 2024, so we are currently in the process of actively obtaining all the necessary state licenses.

The mobile application is part of the entire 1win platform. Since our company has legalized its activities in Nigeria, then downloading and using our application in the country is also absolutely legal.

The 1win APK is available for Android devices, while iOS users can use the PWA or mobile version of the website. It offers functionality completely similar to the web version of the platform. The application supports the Nigerian naira (NGN) and is fully optimized for mobile gadgets.

The safety of Nigerian users is our top priority. The 1win platform uses modern encryption technologies, including SSL and TLS. They protect our customers’ personal data and payment information from unauthorized access. We also have our own privacy policy, according to which we cannot share your data with third parties without your consent.

In addition, 1win uses two-factor authentication (2FA). This technology adds an additional layer of protection to users’ accounts. We regularly conduct internal and external audits to identify and eliminate potential vulnerabilities in our security system.

The games in the 1win online casino are based on certified random number generators (RNG), which ensure the fairness and unpredictability of each game result. The platform cooperates only with licensed and reliable software providers such as iTech Labs, eCOGRA, GLI and many others. All games from these developers are certified and regularly undergo independent audits.
