Head-to-head
1win vs Betway
1win and Betway operate in the same verticals (casino, sportsbook, poker), so most of what follows is a like-for-like comparison.
Everything below is taken from each operator's published record — licence registers, banking pages, bonus terms and responsible-gambling pages. We do not open accounts or play, so nothing here is a claim about hands-on experience.
Licensing — and the numbers to check it with
A licence number is the one claim on this page you do not have to take our word for: look it up in the regulator's own public register.
1win
Curacao eGaming
- Licence number:
- 8048/JAZ2018-040

Betway answers to at least one of the stricter regulators — the regimes that require segregated player funds and binding dispute resolution — while 1win's licensing is lighter-touch.

Responsible Gambling →Welcome bonus terms
The headline amount is marketing. These are the terms that decide what it is actually worth.
| Term | 1win | Betway |
|---|---|---|
| Headline offer | 500% up to $1025 | 100% up to £30 |
| Wagering | x40 | x50 |
| Max bet while active | $5 | £5 |
| Max cashout | $5000 | No limit |
| Time to clear | 14 days | 7 days |
| Min. deposit | $10 | £10 |
- 1win asks the lower playthrough — x40 against x50 at Betway — so the bonus turns into withdrawable money on far less turnover.
- Betway puts no cap on what the bonus can pay out, while 1win caps it at $5000 however well it runs.
- 1win allows 14 days to meet the wagering against 7 at Betway — more time means fewer rushed bets.
